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.; Deposco pricing is entirely quote-based, and the annual figure puts it out of reach for smaller operations that its marketing sometimes attracts
  • They diverge on capability: Alpega covers Modular TMS, Deposco covers Warehouse 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  • Pricing is unpublished and typically volume based on shipments or transport orders, so a business whose freight volume grows faces a cost curve it cannot model in advance.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.

Deposco

  • Pricing is entirely quote-based, and the annual figure puts it out of reach for smaller operations that its marketing sometimes attracts
  • Implementation is still a project with process design and integration work, even though it is shorter than the enterprise incumbents
  • Less established than Manhattan or Blue Yonder, which matters in procurement processes that weight vendor longevity
  • Deep manufacturing execution is outside its scope, so operations needing both will run two systems
  • Reference customers cluster in retail and 3PL, so unusual verticals should ask hard questions about fit

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.

Deposco: What does Deposco cost?

Not published. It is an annual contract quoted on volume, sites and modules, and it is priced as enterprise software rather than as a per-user SaaS tool.

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.

Deposco: How does it compare to Manhattan or Blue Yonder?

Comparable warehouse capability with a shorter implementation and lower entry cost. The incumbents are ahead on the largest and most complex networks.

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.

Deposco: Is it suitable for 3PL?

Yes, explicitly. Multi-client warehousing with per-client billing is a first-class capability rather than an adaptation.

Alpega: What happened to Teleroute and Wtransnet as brands?

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

Deposco: Does it replace an ERP?

No. It handles warehouse and order execution and integrates with NetSuite, SAP and similar for finance and broader business processes.

Deposco: When do companies buy it?

Usually when order volume has outgrown a basic inventory tool and the warehouse itself has become the bottleneck. Below that point it is more system than the operation needs.
