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; Uber Freight managed transportation puts the carrier relationships, the rate history and the operating knowledge inside the provider, so bringing the function back in house later means rebuilding all three from a standing start.
  • They diverge on capability: Deposco covers Warehouse management, Uber Freight covers Managed transportation.
  • 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

Uber Freight

  • Managed transportation puts the carrier relationships, the rate history and the operating knowledge inside the provider, so bringing the function back in house later means rebuilding all three from a standing start.
  • The business is an assembly of Uber brokerage and Transplace managed services, and shippers report that the technology a managed customer uses is not the same product a spot customer sees, which complicates any evaluation based on demonstrations.
  • Uber Freight has cut staff during freight downturns, and a managed customer feels that directly because service quality depends on the size and tenure of the assigned operating team.
  • Instant pricing is a Uber Freight capacity commitment rather than a market index, so a shipper using it as a benchmark is measuring one provider appetite rather than the spot market.
  • Depth outside North American truckload is uneven, and shippers with substantial ocean, air or European road freight generally keep separate providers and separate systems.

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.

Uber Freight: Is Uber Freight just the app?

No. Managed transportation, which came from the Transplace acquisition, is the larger part of the business for enterprise shippers.

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.

Uber Freight: What did Uber pay for Transplace?

The 2022 deal was valued at approximately 2.25 billion dollars in cash and stock.

Deposco: Is it suitable for 3PL?

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

Uber Freight: Is Uber Freight profitable and stable?

It is a division of Uber Technologies and took a 550 million dollar outside investment in 2023 led by Greenbriar Equity Group, which had sold Transplace to it the year before.

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.

Uber Freight: Can I licence the TMS on its own?

The platform is sold as part of a managed or brokerage relationship rather than as standalone licensed software.

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.
