The short version
- Only Easyship has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Easyship exact paid plan prices and shipment volume caps are not clearly published on the main pricing page, requiring users to dig through support articles.; 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: Easyship covers Discounted shipping rates, 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.
Easyship
- Exact paid plan prices and shipment volume caps are not clearly published on the main pricing page, requiring users to dig through support articles.
- Discounted courier rates depend on Easyship's negotiated carrier relationships, which vary by region and may not beat a merchant's own carrier account rates.
- Advanced features like tax/duty display at checkout and multi-box shipping are gated behind higher-tier paid plans.
- 24/7 phone support is only available on the Premier plan and above, leaving lower-tier users with limited support channels.
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.
