Where each one falls short

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

Cin7

  • No free trial mentioned
  • Standard plan includes only 6,000 orders annually, average 500/month
  • User counts are fixed per tier: 5 users on Standard, 10 on Pro, 15 on Advanced
  • Advanced warehouse management only on Advanced plan (minimum $1,199/month)
  • Pricing excludes taxes

Shipwell

  • Pricing is not published and is set on freight volume, so the cost rises through a peak season regardless of how much anyone uses the software.
  • Shipwell operates a carrier network as well as the TMS, so the vendor running your tender is also a bidder in it, which weakens the neutrality a competitive sourcing process depends on.
  • Coverage is heavily North American, and international ocean, air and customs handling is thin compared with a forwarder-grade platform.
  • ERP and WMS integrations turn deployment into a project with its own cost and timeline rather than a configuration exercise.
  • The company is small relative to the enterprise TMS incumbents, which matters for a system that sits in the path of every shipment if support or roadmap continuity slips.
