The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Alpega coverage is strongly European, so a shipper with significant North American or Asian volume will need a second TMS and will lose the single-system benefit that justified the purchase.; Azuga driver monitoring is contentious regardless of framing, and rewards do not remove that
  • They diverge on capability: Alpega covers Modular TMS, Azuga covers GPS tracking.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Alpega

  • Coverage is strongly European, so a shipper with significant North American or Asian volume will need a second TMS and will lose the single-system benefit that justified the purchase.
  • The group was assembled from acquisitions including Teleroute, Wtransnet, TenderEasy and inet, so modules differ in interface and data model and cross-module workflows are less joined up than the group branding implies.
  • The TMS and the freight exchanges are separately subscribed, so the combination that is the reason to choose Alpega costs two contracts rather than one.
  • Pricing is unpublished and typically volume based on shipments or transport orders, so a business whose freight volume grows faces a cost curve it cannot model in advance.
  • Freight exchange value depends entirely on carrier density on your specific lanes, and a shipper on thin or peripheral routes will find far less capacity than the headline carrier count suggests.

Azuga

  • Driver monitoring is contentious regardless of framing, and rewards do not remove that
  • Hardware installation per vehicle is real upfront cost and effort
  • Contracts are typically multi-year, which limits switching
  • A smaller ecosystem than Samsara or Geotab, with fewer third-party integrations

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Alpega: Are the freight exchanges included with the TMS?

No. Teleroute, Wtransnet and 123cargo are separately subscribed products, even though they belong to the same group.

Azuga: What does Azuga cost?

It publishes per-vehicle monthly pricing, normally on a multi-year contract with hardware.

Alpega: Does Alpega work outside Europe?

Its carrier network and regulatory coverage are built around European road freight. It operates in around 80 countries but the density that makes it useful is intra-European.

Azuga: How is it different from other fleet trackers?

It leans on driver scorecards and rewards rather than pure oversight, though how that feels depends on how the company uses the data.

Alpega: Is pricing published?

No. TMS pricing is quoted by module and usually by shipment or transport order volume. Exchange subscriptions are quoted by user and country scope.

Azuga: Does it handle ELD compliance?

Yes, it supports electronic logging for hours-of-service requirements.

Alpega: What happened to Teleroute and Wtransnet as brands?

Both continue to trade under their own names as Alpega freight exchanges, alongside 123cargo.
