The short version

  • Only Freightos has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Freightos no pricing, fees or commissions are published anywhere on the pricing page; MeteoGroup the vendor's own domain (meteogroup.com), as captured by the Internet Archive on 29 December 2021, redirects to and displays DTN's own corporate site listing DTN's weather and agriculture product lines (ClearAg, WeatherSentry, ProphetX), confirming in the vendor's own pages that MeteoGroup now operates under the DTN brand with no independent MeteoGroup pricing surviving; no dollar figures were found on the DTN page
  • They diverge on capability: Freightos covers Instant quotes, MeteoGroup covers European forecasts.
