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.; 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: Easyship covers Discounted shipping rates, 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.

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.

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.
