EasyCargo alternatives: honest comparison for logistics teams (2026)

EasyCargo is the most searched load planning tool in the world, and for good reason. It is fast, browser-based, and genuinely easy to use. But it was built for a single planner working alone. If your operation involves more than one person (a dispatcher, a warehouse manager, a client who needs to approve the plan) you will hit its limits quickly.

This comparison covers five container and truck load planning tools in honest detail: EasyCargo, Teuvia, CargoWiz, Goodloading, and JustLoad.it. We have tested each one against the same cargo configurations. The goal is not to declare a winner but to help you choose the right tool for your specific operation.

EasyCargo: what it does well and where it falls short

EasyCargo is a browser-based container and truck load planning tool built by Bee Interactive, a Czech company founded in 2014. It is trusted by over 2,000 companies worldwide and is the most recognisable brand in the category. It deserves that recognition.

The 3D visualisation is clean and fast. The interface is genuinely easy to learn. Most planners are productive within an hour. The mobile app lets warehouse staff follow a step-by-step loading guide on a tablet. It supports priority groups for multi-stop routes and calculates axle load distribution for road transport compliance. For a single planner at a small operation, it does the job well.

The limitations become visible when your team grows. EasyCargo charges $79 per user per month. A logistics team with five planners pays $395 per month, for a tool that still has no real-time collaboration, no shared workspace, and no approval workflow. Each user works in their own silo. Plans are shared via a public link that gives recipients a read-only 3D view, which is useful but not the same as working together on a live plan.

Palletisation is another gap. EasyCargo does not natively support box-to-pallet planning. Users who need to plan how boxes stack onto pallets before packing pallets into containers have to use a workaround: creating a custom cargo space with pallet dimensions. It works, but it is inelegant.

EasyCargo is the right choice if you are a solo planner, a small freight forwarder with one person doing all the loading plans, or an operation where the per-user price is not a concern. It is not the right choice if you need multiple people working with the same plans, if your team is growing, or if palletisation is a core part of your workflow.

Teuvia: built for teams from day one

Teuvia is a container and truck load planning platform built specifically for logistics teams, not individual planners. It is the only tool in this comparison with a flat workspace pricing model, meaning your entire team uses it for one fixed monthly price rather than paying per user.

The 3D packing engine calculates optimised load plans in under 50 milliseconds, using container dimensions accurate to IICL and ISO 668 specifications. EU EC 96/53 and US FHWA axle weight limits are built directly into the calculation, not added as a separate feature, so every load plan includes a legal compliance check as standard.

Honesty matters in a comparison, so here is Teuvia’s current state plainly: it is in early access. The 3D load planner and the free container, CBM, and axle calculators are live and usable today. Team workspaces, client-facing plan sharing, and a dock worker mobile app are on the public roadmap, not shipped features. The tools above are mature products; Teuvia’s bet is a different pricing model and a planner built for more than one pair of hands.

That pricing model is the core difference: the flat $98 per month launch price means adding a new dispatcher or warehouse manager to the workspace costs nothing extra, where every other tool in this comparison charges again for each seat.

Teuvia is the right choice if your operation involves more than one planner, if you want axle load compliance built into the same plan rather than a separate tool, and if you are comfortable joining a product in early access to lock in its flat pricing. If you run a forwarding operation, see how Teuvia works as load planning software for freight forwarders.

CargoWiz: the one-time-purchase option with strong palletisation

CargoWiz is a desktop application for Windows and Mac, sold by SoftTruck, which immediately sets it apart from the other tools in this comparison. There is no browser version. You download and install the software, and it runs locally on your machine.

That architecture has advantages. CargoWiz is fast because it runs locally, and it works without an internet connection. The palletisation feature is genuinely robust: it handles box-to-pallet planning before pallet-to-container placement, which is a workflow that most web-based tools require workarounds for.

The trade-offs are significant for modern logistics teams. There is no mobile app for dock workers. Sharing a plan means exporting a file and sending it by email. There is no real-time collaboration: each user licence is a separate desktop installation, so a team of five is still five people working independently, just without a recurring monthly bill.

The pricing model is the most distinctive thing about CargoWiz: it is a one-time licence purchase, not a subscription, and the price is structured per user with volume discounts built in. A single user licence costs $235. A team of five costs $555 total ($111 per user). A team of fifteen costs $1,355 total ($90 per user), cheaper per head as the team grows, the opposite of most per-user SaaS pricing. Version upgrades are included for the duration of the subscription on request.

CargoWiz is the right choice if you work offline frequently, if palletisation is central to your workflow, or if you would rather pay once than commit to a subscription. It is not the right choice if you need browser-based access, mobile dock support, or real-time team collaboration.

Goodloading: well-funded with multi-modal coverage

Goodloading is built by Trans.eu Group, a Polish logistics technology company with significant backing, which means it is not an indie tool but a product with a real engineering team and a longer-term roadmap. It covers road transport, maritime, air freight, and manufacturing workflows, making it one of the more broadly scoped tools in the category.

The interface is clean and the 3D visualisation is solid. It supports axle load and centre of gravity calculations, shareable plan links, and multi-stop loading. Palletisation is not natively supported. There is no flat-rate team pricing: the subscription model is per user starting at $13 per user per month on an annual commitment.

One practical limitation: pricing is not publicly listed on the website as of mid-2026. You need to register to see a demo before accessing pricing information, which adds friction for buyers who are comparing options.

Goodloading is the right choice if you need multi-modal coverage across road, sea, and air in one tool, or if you are already inside the Trans.eu ecosystem. It is not the right choice if you need flat team pricing, native palletisation, or transparent pricing without a sales call.

JustLoad.it: the budget flat-rate option

JustLoad.it entered the market specifically positioning itself as the affordable EasyCargo alternative. Its flat-rate pricing (a single monthly fee regardless of users) addresses the most common complaint about per-user pricing in this category.

The feature set is more limited than the other tools in this comparison. There is no mobile dock app, no axle load calculation, and no API. The 3D visualisation covers the basics. Excel and CSV import is supported. For a small operation that needs straightforward container planning without the per-user cost, it does what it promises.

The risk with JustLoad.it is the limited feature depth. If your operation grows, needs axle compliance, or wants mobile dock guidance, you will outgrow it and need to migrate. Switching load planning tools is not trivial: your cargo item databases, saved plans, and team habits all have to move.

JustLoad.it is the right choice if you are a solo planner or very small team on a tight budget who needs basic container planning without per-user fees. It is not the right choice if axle compliance, palletisation, or mobile dock guidance are requirements.

Why teams switch from EasyCargo

The most common reasons logistics teams look for an EasyCargo alternative are pricing, team features, and palletisation.

Pricing is the most frequently cited issue. A team of three planners paying $79 each pays $237 per month for a tool where each person still works in their own account. There is no shared workspace, no shared plan history, no visibility into what a colleague planned yesterday. The three users are paying for three separate single-user tools that happen to be the same product.

Team features are the second issue. Modern logistics operations do not have one person who plans everything. A planner creates the load plan, a dispatcher approves it, a warehouse manager needs to see it, a client wants to verify it. EasyCargo’s shareable link covers the client use case (the client can view the 3D plan without an account) but the internal collaboration is still handled by email, WhatsApp, and shared logins. That creates version control problems, miscommunications, and re-packing events at the dock.

Palletisation is the third issue, and it is specific to manufacturers and distributors who need to plan how products stack onto pallets before the pallets go into the container. EasyCargo’s workaround (creating a custom cargo space with the pallet’s dimensions) is functional but forces planners into a multi-step manual process for something that should be a first-class feature.

None of these are criticisms that make EasyCargo a bad product. It is a good product for the use case it was designed for. The issue is that many teams grow into requirements it was not designed to handle.

Who should choose Teuvia

Teuvia is built for logistics teams where more than one person needs to work with the same load plans. If you are a sole operator planning five containers a week from one desk, EasyCargo or CargoWiz will serve you well and cost you less. Teuvia’s flat pricing advantage only activates when your team has two or more people who need access.

The clearest Teuvia use cases are freight forwarders with multiple planners, manufacturers who share load plans with external carriers or clients, 3PL warehouses where the planning team and the loading team need to see the same information, and any operation that runs both containers and road freight and needs axle compliance on the road side.

One caveat to weigh honestly: Teuvia is the youngest tool in this comparison and is in early access. The planner and calculators work today, but the collaboration features that justify the team pitch (shared workspaces, client links, the dock worker app) are roadmap items. If you need those working this quarter, a mature per-user tool may serve you better; if flat pricing for a growing team is the draw, early access is how you lock it in.

Teuvia is not the right choice if you are a solo planner on a tight budget (JustLoad.it is cheaper), if you need a one-time purchase rather than a subscription (CargoWiz is the option), or if you need deep multi-modal coverage across road, sea, and air in a single platform (Goodloading covers more modes).
