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; Truckbase only the 290 USD monthly minimum is published; the per-truck, per-driver and per-load rates behind it are all consultative, so comparing quotes against another vendor is guesswork.
  • They diverge on capability: Deposco covers Warehouse management, Truckbase covers Dispatch board.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 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

Truckbase

  • Only the 290 USD monthly minimum is published; the per-truck, per-driver and per-load rates behind it are all consultative, so comparing quotes against another vendor is guesswork.
  • The published minimum is billed annually, so a carrier wanting month-to-month flexibility pays more or commits for a year up front.
  • Scope stops well short of enterprise TMS: complex LTL rating, multi-leg intermodal and cross-border customs are not covered, so growing carriers face a migration later.
  • It is a small, venture-stage software company in a market where carriers expect a system to last a decade, and vendor continuity is a legitimate concern for an operational system of record.
  • Reporting and analytics are basic compared with established TMS products, so carriers wanting detailed lane profitability analysis end up exporting to spreadsheets anyway.

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.

Truckbase: What is the minimum cost?

290 USD per month billed annually, which Truckbase publishes; typical deployments sit higher depending on fleet size.

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.

Truckbase: Is there a setup fee?

No. Live virtual onboarding and implementation are included, with in-person training available for larger fleets.

Deposco: Is it suitable for 3PL?

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

Truckbase: Can I be billed per load instead of per truck?

Yes. Truckbase offers per truck, per driver, per load, flat annual and custom billing shapes.

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.

Truckbase: Does it integrate with my ELD?

Yes, it pulls location and hours of service from major ELD providers including Samsara and Motive.

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.
