QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Will it help you build and work your list?
Answers about prospecting, preparing visits and choosing what to pay for.
Is Ruvio a Badger Maps alternative?
For reps whose immediate job is finding local trade prospects and preparing call or visit lists, Ruvio is worth evaluating. If you need CRM-connected route execution, compare Badger’s features against your requirements before switching.
Does Ruvio plan routes?
Yes. You can group saved businesses into day routes and reorder stops by proximity. Google Maps handles road directions and live traffic. Ruvio’s distance-based ordering is not the same as traffic-aware route optimization.
Can I prepare my list before paying for contacts?
Start free with no card. Solo is $9/month; Plus is $29/month. Free needs no card. Solo is $9/month and Plus is $29/month for one rep. Team is $69/month for 3 seats, and Pro is $129/month for 5 seats. Research, contact unlocks and automatic routing have separate allowances. Manual planning, saved accounts, notes and follow-ups are included. Review the research ceiling before starting and contact costs before saving supported assistant prospects. Directory browsing remains available separately.
Will Ruvio find every business or the right contact at every account?
No. Coverage and available details vary by trade and location. Search your own area, inspect the records and confirm fit before outreach. A saved business is a prospect to qualify, not a guaranteed buyer, appointment or reachable decision-maker.
