What you would be giving up
Alpega is most often brought in for a european manufacturer that needs both contracted transport planning and spot capacity from the same supplier, a shipper running periodic freight tenders across dozens of road hauliers and comparing rates on a common basis, a logistics provider needing verified carrier credentials and credit checks before handing over a load, an operation tracking reusable pallets and crates through a european distribution network. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If Alpega is broadly right and the question is cost, the Alpega pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Logistics category lists everything the directory holds, and best logistics tools ranks them.
Alpega runs on web, cloud, ios, android. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
