CargoSphere vs Freightify

CargoSphere is a cloud-based rate management solution and confidential Rate Mesh network for carriers, freight forwarders, NVOs, and shippers. Its SUDS tool loads static carrier-rate files into the cloud database for in-house contract and rate management. Rate Mesh lets carriers, forwarders, and shippers distribute rates privately to selected partners, with future updates delivered to established connections in real time. Forwarders can search rates from their own contracts, agents, and co-loaders, then build and format quotes in HTML or Excel. The platform supports internal RFQs as well as customer RFQs and guest access to sell rates. Activity tracking and reporting cover response times, win rates, and process bottlenecks. The Quote Module includes tariff publishing and Negotiated Rate Arrangement functions, with duplicate checks intended to support FMC compliance. Listed integrations include CargoWise One and CaroTrans; a carrier API transfers contracts, amendments, and surcharge tariffs. Training, rollout coordination, and managed contract services are available. CargoSphere is a web product with pricing on request.

Freightify is a rate management platform for searching and managing freight rates, transit times, and schedules. The Essentials plan includes ocean FCL and LCL searches for spot and FAK rates using carrier APIs and websites, along with customer quotes, configurable sell-rate rules, and up to 500 quotes per month.

Essentials+ adds rate upload as a service, on-screen updates, stored uploaded rates, and an audit trail.

Enterprise lists TMS, MDM, and CRM integrations and a mobile app for searching rates and quotes and tracking shipments. It is presented for freight forwarders, shippers, logistics technology providers, and NVOCCs. Pricing is on request, with no free plan.
