Truck Packer vs Goodloading: The Same 3D Load Plan, $28 a Month vs About $180 a Year
Truck Packer and Goodloading both build 3D load plans for trucks, containers and pallets. Goodloading is about $180 a year, Truck Packer Pro is $28 a month ($21 annual), easier to learn, and shares a no-login crew link. Goodloading has axle loads today.
Truck Packer and Goodloading do the same core job: you add your cartons, pallets, crates or cases, pick a truck or container, and get a 3D load plan. Goodloading is a little cheaper at about $180 a year, Truck Packer Pro is $28 a month, and Truck Packer is the easier one to pick up and hand to a crew.
I built Truck Packer, so I'm not neutral here. But Goodloading is a good product, and it has a couple of things we don't yet. Here's how the two line up, with a source under every claim.
Goodloading costs about $180 a year, Truck Packer Pro costs $28 a month
Source: EasyCargo, load planning app pricing comparison (updated Jan 2026) and Truck Packer pricing
Goodloading doesn't publish its price list on the website. Its own FAQ says the full price list sits in the app after you register, under My Subscription. EasyCargo, a competitor, listed it at $180 for a one-year license in its January 2026 comparison, which puts it among the cheapest tools in the category. Truck Packer Pro is $28 a month, and annual billing saves 25%, which works out to $21 a month or $252 a year by my math. So Goodloading is cheaper, by about $6 a month on annual billing. It also has a free basic version, while Truck Packer gives you a 7-day free trial with no credit card and lets you pause the subscription in slow months.
Both plan road, sea, air and rail loads, and 33% of our users are in warehousing or freight
Source: Goodloading and Truck Packer, Shipping containers
Goodloading is made by Trans.eu Group in Wrocław, Poland, and says it's used by companies in 100 countries. The site pitches it to road, air and maritime transport companies, manufacturers, palletizing businesses and even schools. 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. I kept doing truck packs on paper at FOH, so I built it to be the easiest load planner to use, whatever's in the boxes.
Truck Packer's crew view opens on any phone with no account
Source: Truck Packer changelog
Truck Packer runs in any browser with no install and no training. You drag items into the truck, it flags collisions, and AutoPack fills the space for you. The people who need the plan are usually at the truck, and they don't want to sign up for anything, so a shared pack opens on a phone with no account, and since v0.10.2 each truck can get a QR code you tape to the wall. Goodloading also shares a project as a link or PDF, and its FAQ says editing a shared load needs a Goodloading account. Both share well, and ours is built for whoever's standing at the dock.
Goodloading has stacking rules and axle loads today, and ours are in progress
Source: Goodloading FAQ and Goodloading road transport
Both tools auto-pack in 3D. Goodloading's FAQ says stacking "can be limited to a certain number of layers," its multistop option arranges goods by unloading point, and it says loading "in accordance with the maximum capacity and axle loads allows you to avoid a possible fine." The FAQ also lists axle loads and multiple loading points as paid features, not part of the free version. Truck Packer's AutoPack is a space solver without stack limits, bottom-only cases or unload priority yet, and we show weight per container and a weight heat map while axle and kingpin weights are in progress. If axle compliance is the reason you're shopping, Goodloading has it today.
Goodloading's API connects to TMS, WMS and ERP systems, Truck Packer's is on Business
Source: Goodloading API integrations
Goodloading's API takes cargo and vehicle data as JSON and returns a load plan with coordinates, space used, total weight and axle loads, plus a 3D link and a PDF. It's pitched at TMS, WMS, ERP and route planners. Truck Packer Business has a REST API, 3rd party WMS integrations, multi-truck packs and an importer that reads CSV and XLSX files, even with dimensions in one column like 48x24x30, and every plan exports to PDF. We don't have an SAP or ERP connector. For production shops there's a bonus: Stagera pushes pull sheets straight in, Flex pull sheets import, and the manufacturer case library means you don't have to measure every case.
Truck Packer does the same job for about $6 a month more, and it's easier to hand to a crew
Source: Goodloading and Truck Packer pricing
Truck Packer builds the same 3D load plan for trucks, containers and pallets, and the gap with Goodloading is about $72 a year on annual billing. What you get for that is a tool anyone can use in a browser without training, a crew link that opens on any phone with no login, and a subscription you can pause. What Goodloading still has that we don't is axle loads and multi-stop today, a free basic version, and an API built around TMS and ERP systems. Both let you try before you pay, so build the same load in each and see which one your crew actually reads.
