The short version

Only Detrack has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Detrack pricing is per driver, not per user account; Shippabo the software is priced on container volume under an annual service agreement, so the fee moves with freight rather than usage and a soft import season still carries a committed cost.

Shippabo

The software is priced on container volume under an annual service agreement, so the fee moves with freight rather than usage and a soft import season still carries a committed cost.
Platform and forwarding are bought together, which makes tendering freight to a cheaper carrier expensive because you risk losing the visibility layer your team uses.
As a small forwarder it has less network depth and weaker space allocation than the global incumbents, which bites hardest in a tight ocean market when capacity is rationed to large accounts.
Nothing is published about price, so importers cannot benchmark the software fee against independent visibility vendors without a sales process.
Coverage is concentrated on the trans-Pacific import lane, so companies with significant intra-Europe, Latin American or export flows need a second provider anyway.

On container volume and partner count under an annual software service agreement. No figures are published.
