Frequently asked questions
Starter is free, no platform fee, no upfront cost. You pay only when business closes through the platform: 3% on confirmed pre-bookings and 3% on accepted RFQ offers. Pro ($249/mo) and Business ($799/mo) unlock lower fees, more lanes, and better visibility. Both are free for the first 3 months.
When you publish rates, shippers can pre-book from search results, you review and confirm before anything is final. You control visibility: show your name, your price, both, or keep rates network-only for connected shippers. If you don't publish rates for a lane, shippers can still send RFQs, either a lane-wide request that goes to all forwarders on that route, or a direct request to you specifically. You respond with a custom offer.
Forwarders who publish rates get higher search visibility, more shipper engagement, and faster pre-booking conversions. On Pro and Business plans, confirmed pre-bookings carry a 0% platform fee, you keep 100%. You also control exactly what shippers see, name, price, or both. RFQ-only mode is always available, but published rates are the strongest way to win demand.
