Five people, 40 loads a month
At each one's published starting price for a brokerage. Alvys publishes a per-load price for its carrier plan but none for brokered loads, so it's in the table above instead. What each plan includes differs; check the source before you decide.
Where they fit better.
Straight answers, so you pick the right one.
Load boards and tracking apps, built in
Aljex lists DAT, Truckstop and 123Loadboard posting, MacroPoint tracking, MyCarrierPortal and DAT RateView on its plans. Frontier doesn't connect to load boards or MacroPoint today. Your carriers email you from your posts, and drivers share their location from a link.
A long implementation with a team beside you
Turvo's published plan comes with a dedicated onboarding manager and data migration, and Aljex's paid plans include hours of training and a hypercare period. Frontier is built to start the same day, with a sample brokerage to learn on and a call with us if you want one.
A per-load price when you're small
Alvys charges $3.95 a load with no contract, and AscendTMS has a free plan for two users. If you move a few loads a month, either can cost less than Frontier's $199 plan. Frontier's Free plan covers up to 10 loads a month with every feature.
A price built around a big operation
Revenova and Turvo set their final prices with you, and McLeod doesn't publish one. If you're a large brokerage or 3PL that wants a system sold that way, they're built for it. Frontier for Brokers is new, in early access, and built first for brokerages from one person to a busy floor.
What’s different about Frontier.
- Free while early access lasts, with no card and no load limit
- Priced by loads a month, never by seat. Unlimited users on every plan
- Carrier emails kept in one chain per carrier: accept, counter by email, or pass
- Carriers sign rate cons from their phone, with no account
- A private portal for each shipper, included
- Runs inside your trucking company too, if you also haul
- Bring in customers, carriers and past loads from your old system's spreadsheets
- Built in 2026: the same clean screens on a phone and a computer
See it with your own loads.
It’s free in early access.
