ContainerMath vs EasyCargo

Per-seat day tickets vs a flat workspace price with AI import.

EasyCargo is a well-established, approachable web load planner: enter cargo and constraints, pick a cargo space, and it generates a 3D plan with axle-weight distribution, printable reports and shareable links. It is priced per user, with one-day tickets for occasional loads.

Where EasyCargo wins

Day tickets for occasional loads

One-day tickets (~$9.70) fit a genuinely occasional shipper who plans a load once a quarter.

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. 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. 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 AI import of messy manifests and carton-level packing (Carton Fit), and swaps per-seat pricing for a flat workspace price starting at $19.90/mo.

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 $19.90/mo Starter to $129/mo Pro Plus, so multi-user teams don't multiply the bill.

When is EasyCargo the better choice?

For a genuinely occasional single user (its day tickets beat any subscription) or when you need one of its 14 UI languages that ContainerMath doesn't yet cover.
