Where EasyCargo wins

Day tickets for occasional loads

One-day tickets (~$9.70) fit a shipper who plans a load once a quarter, as often as needed. ContainerMath's 7-day pass is one a year.

14 UI languages

The broadest language coverage in this group — useful for warehouse teams working outside English.

Approachable and proven

A long-established tool with a gentle learning curve and a straightforward workflow.

Where ContainerMath wins

Flat workspace pricing

EasyCargo charges per user, so a team of three pays ~$237/mo. A ContainerMath workspace is one flat price.

AI manifest import

Paste a messy dispatch list and AI structures it (Starter and up). EasyCargo expects a formatted Excel sheet or API payload.

Packaging + loading in one tool

Carton Fit sizes retail units into shipper cartons before Freight loads them — EasyCargo only covers the loading step.

Bundled compliance checks

IMDG hazmat segregation, US bridge-formula legality, load-securing estimates and CoG envelopes come with the plan, not as add-ons.

When EasyCargo is the better pick

If you are a single user who plans a couple of loads a quarter, EasyCargo's day tickets are hard to beat on price; ContainerMath's $9.99 pass covers one shipment a year. And if your team needs a UI in one of its 14 languages that ContainerMath doesn't cover yet, that's a legitimate reason to pick it.

/ FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is ContainerMath a good EasyCargo alternative?

Yes. ContainerMath covers the same 3D container load planning with axle-aware weight handling, adds carton-level packing (Carton Fit) and AI import of messy manifests (Starter and up), and swaps per-seat pricing for a flat workspace price starting at $39.99/mo, with a $9.99 one-time 7-day pass for a single shipment.

How does EasyCargo's pricing compare to ContainerMath's?

EasyCargo charges per user: roughly $79/mo per seat (~$67 annual) or ~$9.70 one-day tickets (as of July 2026). ContainerMath is a flat workspace price from $39.99/mo Starter to $129/mo Pro Plus, so multi-user teams don't multiply the bill, plus a one-time 7-day pass at $9.99 (one per customer per year).

When is EasyCargo the better choice?

For a single user who plans a load several times a year (its day tickets beat any subscription, and ContainerMath's $9.99 pass is one a year) or when you need one of its 14 UI languages that ContainerMath doesn't yet cover.

Does ContainerMath handle axle weights like EasyCargo?

Yes. Plans track payload and per-axle distribution, check the US Federal Bridge Formula and the centre-of-gravity envelope, and when a load breaks an axle limit ContainerMath searches for a road-legal arrangement of the same cargo rather than only reporting the overload.

How do I choose between EasyCargo and ContainerMath?

Run one real shipment through both. EasyCargo has a 10-day trial and ContainerMath needs no card. Use your actual dispatch list and container, then compare four things: how long data entry took, the piece count each reached, whether the weight result is road-legal on your lane, and what your team would pay per month.
