Autorouter is the top most misunderstood piece of software. Most peole just think that it will make the boar for them. That is not the way to go.
Freeroute is great for complex boards, but it usualy makes a mess of the conections and you will not be able to change much afterwards. The internal router o Kicad is good and very effective for smaler/simpler boards. It doesn't generate such complex traces, but it easyer to work on the board aftewards. I personaly have developped a very interesting technique: I run repeatedly an autorouter just to evaluate my placement, then I discard and try a better placement. This is very effective...
