The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Deposco pricing is entirely quote-based, and the annual figure puts it out of reach for smaller operations that its marketing sometimes attracts; Kuebix the free tier that made the product well known was the reason most buyers looked at it, and after the Trimble acquisition the entry level commercial terms are no longer what the widely circulated reviews describe, so any research older than the acquisition is misleading.
  • They diverge on capability: Deposco covers Warehouse management, Kuebix covers Rate shopping.
  • 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.

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

Kuebix

  • The free tier that made the product well known was the reason most buyers looked at it, and after the Trimble acquisition the entry level commercial terms are no longer what the widely circulated reviews describe, so any research older than the acquisition is misleading.
  • Ownership by Trimble means the roadmap is set against a portfolio strategy centred on carrier and fleet technology, and shipper side investment competes internally with products that sell to a different customer.
  • It is a rating and booking tool rather than a full transportation management system, so shippers with multi leg, international or complex allocation requirements outgrow it quickly.
  • Rate accuracy depends on the shipper loading and maintaining its own carrier contracts, and stale rate tables produce confident quotes that the carrier invoice then contradicts.
  • Support and account management now run through a large diversified vendor, and small shippers on entry level arrangements report less direct access than they had with the original company.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Kuebix: Is Kuebix still free?

Do not assume so. The free community tier was central to the original company and the terms changed after Trimble acquired the business in 2020. Confirm current availability with Trimble.

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.

Kuebix: Who owns Kuebix?

Trimble Inc., which acquired it in 2020.

Deposco: Is it suitable for 3PL?

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

Kuebix: Is it a full TMS?

It is strongest at LTL rate shopping, booking and tracking. Complex multimodal planning is not its territory.

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.

Kuebix: Does it work with my own carrier contracts?

Yes, that is the core use case, but you are responsible for keeping the rate tables current.

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.
