Freightos

  • No pricing, fees or commissions are published anywhere on the pricing page

SpireStock

  • Built for the Indian market: GST invoicing, Indian trade schemes and Tally integration are the point, and none of that transfers elsewhere

  • Pricing is banded by user count, so a business just over a band boundary pays for headroom it does not use
  • A younger vendor than the ERP suites it competes against, so the integration ecosystem is narrower

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Freightos: Does Freightos charge shippers a subscription fee or booking commission?

Freightos does not charge shippers directly. Instead, Freightos takes a small percentage from freight providers (carriers), though the exact percentage is not published on their site.

Source
SpireStock: What does SpireStock cost?

Starter is ₹4,999 per month for up to 5 users and Professional is ₹14,999 per month for up to 25. Enterprise is custom priced with unlimited users and API access. A 30-day trial runs without a card.

Freightos: How does Freightos generate revenue if shippers do not pay subscription fees?

Freightos operates as a marketplace taking a percentage commission from freight providers on each transaction, not from the end-user shippers.

Source
SpireStock: Why does returnable crate tracking matter?

In dairy and beverage distribution, crates and bottles carry deposits and go missing constantly. Tracking them with OTP verification at handover turns a paper register into a reconcilable record, and shortage alerts surface losses while they can still be recovered.

Freightos: Is there a cost to create an account and get freight quotes on Freightos?

No. Freightos users can instantly compare and get quotes for free. Shippers only pay freight providers directly for selected shipments, with Freightos taking its commission from providers.

Source
SpireStock: Does it work without internet?

Yes. The Android app is offline-first, which is deliberate for delivery routes where connectivity drops.

Freightos: What enterprise solutions does Freightos offer beyond the marketplace?

Freightos offers enterprise solutions that are fully modular, allowing customers to start with one solution and expand as needed. Specific pricing and features are available by requesting a demo.

Source
SpireStock: Does it handle GST?

Yes, GST-compliant invoicing and e-invoicing are built in, and it integrates with Tally and SAP.
