The short version

  • Only Ordoro has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • 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.; Ordoro the product is split into three separately priced apps for shipping, inventory and dropshipping rather than one plan
  • They diverge on capability: Alvys covers Unified asset and brokerage loads, Ordoro 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.

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.

Ordoro

  • The product is split into three separately priced apps for shipping, inventory and dropshipping rather than one plan
  • Inventory starts at $349 a month and dropshipping at $299, so a retailer needing both pays for both
  • Only the shipping app is free
  • Order limits and feature gates are not stated on the main pricing page and require opening a separate page per app
