- Each has a real cost: Alvys the company was founded in 2020, so the integration catalogue is short compared with systems that have spent thirty years accumulating EDI trading partner maps, and a customer with an unusual shipper connection may be funding that build.; Easyship exact paid plan prices and shipment volume caps are not clearly published on the main pricing page, requiring users to dig through support articles.
- They diverge on capability: Alvys covers Unified asset and brokerage loads, Easyship covers Discounted shipping rates.
- 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.
Alvys
- The company was founded in 2020, so the integration catalogue is short compared with systems that have spent thirty years accumulating EDI trading partner maps, and a customer with an unusual shipper connection may be funding that build.
- There is effectively no independent consultant market, so implementation, data migration and configuration expertise all come from the vendor, which is a single point of dependency during a cutover.
- Accounting depth is limited and most customers still run a general ledger in QuickBooks or similar, so the TMS is a subledger rather than the finance system.
- Complex driver pay schemes, cross border currency handling and heavy accessorial structures in drayage are areas where the older systems are more complete and where workarounds are still common.
- Pricing is not published, so a buyer cannot size the cost before entering a sales process, and per user pricing on a dispatch team with part time night staff can be an unpleasant surprise.
Easyship
- Exact paid plan prices and shipment volume caps are not clearly published on the main pricing page, requiring users to dig through support articles.
- Discounted courier rates depend on Easyship's negotiated carrier relationships, which vary by region and may not beat a merchant's own carrier account rates.
- Advanced features like tax/duty display at checkout and multi-box shipping are gated behind higher-tier paid plans.
- 24/7 phone support is only available on the Premier plan and above, leaving lower-tier users with limited support channels.
