Truck Packer vs EasyCargo: The Same 3D Load Plan for $28 vs $79 a Month

Truck Packer and EasyCargo do the same core job: you add your cartons, crates, pallets or road cases, pick a truck, trailer or shipping container, and get a 3D load plan the people loading can follow. Truck Packer costs $28 a month for one user, and EasyCargo costs $79 per user per month (or $67 on an annual plan). EasyCargo still has a few things we don't, like axle loads and more solver rules, and I'll point those out below.

EasyCargo comes up a lot when I talk to people shopping for a load planner. It's a good product from Bee Interactive in Prague, so here's a straight comparison, including where it beats us.

EasyCargo costs $79 per user per month, $67 on annual billing

Source: EasyCargo, Pricing

EasyCargo sells one license per user. In USD the monthly license is $79, the annual plan works out to $67 a month ($799 paid once for the year), and there's a one-day ticket at $9.70 per user, sold in packs of at least 10. There's a 10-day free trial with no credit card. Prices don't include VAT. The day ticket is a smart idea for someone who only plans a load a few times a year.

Truck Packer Pro costs $28 a month, $51 less than EasyCargo

Pro is for one person and includes unlimited packs, the case and container library, CSV import, PDF export, AutoPack, weight visualization, shareable packs and a loadout checklist. That's $51 a month less per user than EasyCargo's monthly license, and annual billing saves another 25%. You can pause and resume the subscription when things slow down, so you don't pay for the months you aren't loading. The trial is 7 days with no credit card. Business adds multi-user orgs, collaborative packs, multi-truck packing, API access and SSO, and it's contact-for-pricing right now.

Both plan trucks, containers and pallets, and 33% of our users are in warehousing or freight

EasyCargo's own pages name manufacturing, transport, automotive and retail, and the case studies include freight companies like DSV and Kuehne + Nagel, plus Cirque du Soleil. Truck Packer covers the same ground, with about 83 container presets: trailers, ISO 20, 40 and 45 ft containers, air ULDs, pallets, rail cars and rental trucks. Our users are 67% tour production, 24% warehouse and distribution and 9% freight and logistics, and any boxed load works the same way. I'm a FOH engineer, and after years of planning trailer packs in SketchUp I built it to be the easiest load planner to use.

Truck Packer runs in any browser with no install and no training

You open Truck Packer in a browser, drag items into the truck, and it flags anything that collides. When the plan is ready, Crew View gives you a public link with notes, a shared checklist and multiple truck views, and it opens on any phone with no account. Since v0.10.2 each truck also gets a QR code so the crew can scan the plan at the dock. EasyCargo's step-by-step load report, which walks the loader through the plan in order, is genuinely good, and it can share an interactive 3D link too. Ours is built so someone who's never seen the tool can follow it in a minute.

EasyCargo has axle loads and more solver rules today, and ours are in progress

Both tools auto-pack in 3D. EasyCargo's solver respects non-stackable groups, virtual walls, no-tilt, do-not-rotate and shifting toward the center of mass, and it calculates axle weights against permitted limits. Truck Packer's AutoPack is a space solver and doesn't have stack limits, bottom-only rules or unload priority yet. We show total weight per container and a weight view of the pack, and axle and kingpin weights are in progress. If you need axle numbers on a heavy load today, EasyCargo has them and we don't.

Both import spreadsheets and offer an API, and only EasyCargo connects to SAP

Source: Truck Packer, Changelog

EasyCargo takes items from an Excel template, exports back to Excel, and offers an API, an SAP integration and make.com connectivity (EasyCargo). Truck Packer Pro has CSV import, and the Business importer reads CSV and XLSX files, even when dimensions sit in one column like 48x24x30. Business also includes a REST API and multi-truck packs, and every plan exports to PDF. We don't have an SAP or ERP connector. For production shops there's a bonus: Stagera can push pull sheets straight in (v0.9.3), and the manufacturer case library has real cases from makers like Gator Cases and Circle Three.

Truck Packer does the same job for $51 a month less per user

Source: EasyCargo, Pricing and Truck Packer, Pricing

Truck Packer builds the same 3D load plan for $28 a month instead of $79, and it's easier to get a crew on, since the plan opens on any phone with no login. You can pause it when you're not loading, so slow months cost nothing. What EasyCargo still has that we don't is axle loads and stacking rules in the solver today, plus an SAP connector and a $9.70 day ticket for occasional use. Both have free trials with no card, so build the same load in each and see which one your crew actually reads.
