Descartes Aljex plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | $699/month | 5 | Entry tier |
| Professional | $999/month | 5 | +$300/month, 5 more features |
| Enterprise | $2375/month | 5 | +$1376/month, 5 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

- Customer EDI
People bring Descartes Aljex in for a five-person brokerage that needs to know its monthly software cost before committing rather than after a discovery call, an agent-based brokerage that must stop agents seeing each other customers and margins, a growing broker moving off spreadsheets and email who wants load boards, tracking and carrier vetting already connected, a 3pl needing brokerage settlement and quickbooks accounting without a separate finance integration project. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Descartes Aljex are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Descartes Aljex
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $699/month and $2375/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Descartes Aljex against the tools that do have one before committing.
Descartes Aljex runs on web, ios, android, and is published by The Descartes Systems Group of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The full record is on the Descartes Aljex review, and the rest of the category is under best logistics tools.
