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.; SpireStock built for the Indian market: GST invoicing, Indian trade schemes and Tally integration are the point, and none of that transfers elsewhere
  • They diverge on capability: Alpega covers Modular TMS, SpireStock covers Order management.
  • 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  • Pricing is unpublished and typically volume based on shipments or transport orders, so a business whose freight volume grows faces a cost curve it cannot model in advance.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.

SpireStock

  • Built for the Indian market: GST invoicing, Indian trade schemes and Tally integration are the point, and none of that transfers elsewhere
  • Mobile app is Android only, with no iOS build
  • Pricing is banded by user count, so a business just over a band boundary pays for headroom it does not use
  • A younger vendor than the ERP suites it competes against, so the integration ecosystem is narrower

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.

SpireStock: What does SpireStock cost?

Starter is ₹4,999 per month for up to 5 users and Professional is ₹14,999 per month for up to 25. Enterprise is custom priced with unlimited users and API access. A 30-day trial runs without a card.

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.

SpireStock: Why does returnable crate tracking matter?

In dairy and beverage distribution, crates and bottles carry deposits and go missing constantly. Tracking them with OTP verification at handover turns a paper register into a reconcilable record, and shortage alerts surface losses while they can still be recovered.

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.

SpireStock: Does it work without internet?

Yes. The Android app is offline-first, which is deliberate for delivery routes where connectivity drops.

Alpega: What happened to Teleroute and Wtransnet as brands?

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

SpireStock: Does it handle GST?

Yes, GST-compliant invoicing and e-invoicing are built in, and it integrates with Tally and SAP.
