CargoEZ vs Freightify: which freight forwarding software should you choose?

Quick answer: CargoEZ or Freightify?

Start with the category, because these two tools do not really sit in the same one. That gap is the most important thing to know before you compare a single feature.

Freightify is a freight rate management and quoting platform. It centralizes carrier rates, pulls live ocean and air rates through APIs, and turns them into fast, accurate quotes. That one job, it does very well, and it stops there.

CargoEZ is an all-in-one freight forwarding platform. It runs the whole lifecycle in one system: enquiry, rate request, rate comparison, quote, approval, booking, shipment, exception handling, customer updates, billing, and profitability.

Choose Freightify if your only problem is messy, slow rate procurement and quoting, and you already run a separate operations or accounting system you are happy with.

Want one modern platform that handles rates and everything that happens after the quote, with no rate tool stitched to a TMS stitched to an accounting package? That is CargoEZ.

CargoEZ vs Freightify at a glance

Ratings checked September 2026. Both vendors price by custom quote; Freightify's reported starting figure comes from third-party listings, not a published price page, so treat it as directional.

Who CargoEZ and Freightify are really built for

Founded in 2016 and based in Singapore, Freightify set out to solve one expensive, annoying problem: freight rate procurement. Forwarders were living in spreadsheets, chasing carrier rates by email, taking hours to build a single quote. Freightify centralizes all of that, pulls live rates through carrier APIs, and lets a sales rep produce an accurate quote in seconds. By design, it sits alongside your other systems, and it integrates with TMS and ERP platforms, including CargoWise.

CargoEZ is built for the US small and mid-sized forwarder that does not want a stack of separate tools. A rate engine here, an operations system there, accounting in a third place: CargoEZ replaces all of that with one modern, web-based all-in-one freight forwarding platform, native accounting ledger and light warehouse module included.

So the real split is scope. Freightify goes deep on one slice of the job; CargoEZ covers the whole job. If rate management is genuinely the only thing broken for you, a specialist can make sense. But if you want quoting connected to booking, operations, billing, and margin in one place, that is a different kind of product.

CargoEZ vs Freightify: quotation and rate management compared

This is Freightify's home turf, and it is genuinely strong. When your team's pain is rate chaos, its rate management and instant quoting are purpose-built, and well regarded, for exactly that.

CargoEZ handles rate request, comparison, and quoting too, through its own rate management software, and its real advantage is what happens after the quote. An approved quote turns into a booking and a live shipment without ever leaving the platform. With Freightify, the quote is the finish line; the next step lives in another system.

CargoEZ vs Freightify: booking and shipment operations compared

Here the categories separate cleanly. Freightify is not a freight-forwarding operations system, and it does not claim to be. Booking management, full shipment execution, it runs neither, feeding those steps into whatever TMS or FMS you already use.

CargoEZ manages booking, shipment, and exception handling natively, all in the same flow that started with the enquiry. For a forwarder who wants one place to run a file from quote to delivery, that is the core difference.

CargoEZ vs Freightify: tracking and visibility compared

Both offer tracking. Freightify includes track-and-trace as part of its platform, useful for keeping a customer informed after a quote is won.

CargoEZ's tracking sits inside a live operational shipment, connected to the booking, the billing, and the customer record. Visibility becomes one part of a running file rather than a standalone feature. For a full operations team, that connected view usually matters more than tracking on its own.

CargoEZ vs Freightify: billing, accounting, and profitability compared

This is one of CargoEZ's biggest advantages, precisely because Freightify does not do it. Freightify manages margin at the quote, which is valuable, but it is not a billing or accounting system.

CargoEZ ships a full general ledger and chart of accounts natively, along with invoicing and per-file profitability. That means you can quote, operate, invoice, and see your margin in one system, instead of exporting to a separate accounting package. For a US SMB forwarder, having finance built in is often the deciding factor.

CargoEZ vs Freightify: customer portal and CRM compared

Both give customers a portal. Freightify's is oriented around rates and quote requests, which fits its purpose well.

CargoEZ adds a customer portal plus a built-in CRM and sales pipeline, so enquiries, quotes, and won business live in the same place as your operations and billing. Want sales and delivery under one roof? CargoEZ covers more ground.

CargoEZ vs Freightify: customs and compliance compared

Customs is not what Freightify is for, and it does not position itself as a compliance tool.

CargoEZ names US AMS and ISF filing inside the same platform that runs the rest of the shipment. For a US forwarder that needs compliance handled where the operations already live, that is one less external system to manage.

CargoEZ vs Freightify pricing and implementation

Neither vendor publishes a full public price. Freightify sells a subscription; third-party listings report a starting figure around $999 per month, scaling with users, volume, and modules, but treat that as directional since it is not on an official price page.

CargoEZ prices by custom quote with a US SMB and mid-market model: no per-shipment fee, and your choice of four billing cadences. Because CargoEZ replaces several tools at once, the comparison is not just sticker price. With Freightify you are buying a rate layer and still paying for a separate operations and accounting system; with CargoEZ you are buying one platform that covers all of it.

On setup, CargoEZ goes live in under a month. A rate tool like Freightify can be quick to switch on for its own function. But standing up your full stack still means integrating it with the other systems that do booking, billing, and customs, work that a single all-in-one avoids.

What real users say about CargoEZ and Freightify

Freightify is well-reviewed for the job it does. It holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating on G2, where reviewers praise the platform for centralizing rate management, cutting manual data entry, and speeding up quoting, along with responsive support. Its Capterra listing, however, carries very few reviews, so the review base is concentrated on G2 and modest overall.

CargoEZ is also well-reviewed, holding a 4.8 out of 5 rating on G2, with users highlighting the value of running rates, operations, and finance in a single modern platform.

The honest read: Freightify earns its ratings for rate management specifically, while CargoEZ is rated on a much broader all-in-one scope. They are strong at different things.

Which one fits your team

Choose Freightify if rate procurement and quoting is your single biggest bottleneck, you have a high-volume pricing desk, and you are content to keep running your existing operations, billing, and customs systems around it.

Choose CargoEZ if you want one platform for the whole workflow, from enquiry and rate comparison to quote, booking, shipment, billing, and profitability, with native accounting and US customs filing included, and you would rather not maintain a separate tool for each stage.

For most US small and mid-sized forwarders who want to consolidate rather than add another point solution, CargoEZ is the more complete freight forwarding software, while Freightify remains a strong pick when all you need is a best-in-class rate layer.

Switching from Freightify to CargoEZ

Teams usually move from Freightify to CargoEZ for one reason: they realize a rate tool only solves part of the problem. Once quoting is fast, the next bottlenecks show up in booking, operations, invoicing, and margin visibility, and running those across separate systems creates its own drag. Consolidating into one platform removes the hand-offs.

Migration is straightforward because you are mostly bringing over what Freightify already organizes well: your carrier rates, rate sheets, quote templates, and customer records. That structured data maps cleanly into CargoEZ's rate request, comparison, and quoting flow, and from there it connects to the booking, billing, and accounting steps Freightify never handled.

Expect a fast timeline. CargoEZ goes live in under a month, and because you are gaining operations, finance, and customs in the same move, you are retiring more than one system rather than swapping one rate tool for another. The result is a single platform running the whole file instead of a rate engine bolted to everything else.

Final take

CargoEZ and Freightify are easy to line up side by side, but they answer different questions. Freightify is an excellent, well-reviewed rate management and quoting tool, and if that specific job is your pain, it does it very well. It is not, and does not claim to be, a full freight-forwarding operations or accounting platform.

CargoEZ is the modern all-in-one: rates, quoting, booking, shipment, tracking, billing, native accounting, a customer portal and CRM, and US customs filing, in one system that goes live in under a month. For a US SMB or mid-market forwarder who wants to run the whole business in one place, that breadth is the point.
