Freightify vs Upply Contract Management

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. Freightify says its service provides visibility to rates from 30+ LCL and FCL carriers and NVOCCs, plus 90+ airlines. Essentials+ adds rate upload as a service, on-screen updates, stored uploaded rates, and an audit trail. Its API can provide live ocean rates and schedules and track shipments for use in ERP, TMS, or RMS systems. 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. A seven-day trial provides Rate Search access without a credit or debit card.

Upply Contract Management centralizes transport rate cards and applies negotiated carrier terms when shipments are assigned. Users can import cards with origins, destinations, validity periods, freight types and pricing conditions into one repository. Supported pricing includes per-kilometre, zone-based, pallet and shipment rates, along with other structures negotiated with carriers. Teams can configure included, fixed or indexed fuel surcharges and custom surcharges; these are applied during shipment assignment and remain editable. When cards match a shipment, the associated carriers are prioritized, and selecting one applies its negotiated rates and relevant surcharges. Contract management and accessorial rules are supported, while rate comparison and carrier bid management are not. The web platform is API-first, with integrations for TMS, WMS, ERP and CRM systems. Upply says its APIs support automation, plug-and-play integration, real-time market and pricing data, and large data volumes. Upply describes the service as SOC 2 certified and GDPR compliant, with Contract Management data hosted in France. Carriers and freight forwarders can register free with no commitment. Shippers pay an annual subscription based on shipment volume; no price is listed.
