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; Transporeon no pricing is published anywhere, and the commercial model mixes subscription with per-transaction charges, so freight volume growth increases the bill in ways a flat SaaS budget will not predict.
  • They diverge on capability: Freightos covers Instant quotes, Transporeon covers Freight marketplace.
  • 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.

Freightos

  • No pricing, fees or commissions are published anywhere on the pricing page
  • Rates and costs are only visible after signing up to the platform

Transporeon

  • No pricing is published anywhere, and the commercial model mixes subscription with per-transaction charges, so freight volume growth increases the bill in ways a flat SaaS budget will not predict.
  • Coverage is heavily European road freight; North American domestic truckload, ocean and air are much weaker, so a global shipper usually ends up running Transporeon alongside a second system rather than instead of one.
  • Carriers are pushed onto the platform by their customers rather than choosing it, so smaller hauliers often engage minimally, and visibility data quality varies sharply by carrier.
  • The Trimble acquisition has produced overlapping products, including a separate Trimble TMS for Shippers, and buyers report difficulty establishing which roadmap their module sits on.
  • Implementation depends on ERP master data quality for materials, locations and incoterms; organisations with inconsistent plant address data spend months on data cleansing before the first tender runs.

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
Transporeon: Is Transporeon still sold under its own name after the Trimble acquisition?

Yes. Trimble completed the acquisition in April 2023 and continues to sell and develop the platform as Transporeon, a Trimble company, with new releases through 2026.

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
Transporeon: Can I see a price without talking to sales?

No. Nothing is published. Expect a modular quote with a subscription element plus charges tied to transport volume.

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
Transporeon: Do carriers pay to use it?

Carriers connect at low or no direct cost for basic participation, which is why the network is dense. Advanced carrier-side modules are chargeable.

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
Transporeon: Does it work for ocean and air freight?

There is some multimodal support, but the depth is in European road. For deep ocean visibility most shippers still run a separate provider.
