project44 pricing
project44 uses enterprise, quote-based pricing tied to shipment volume, carriers and modules — it's a visibility layer rather than an execution TMS.
project44 is excellent at what it does — visibility. But it doesn't plan or execute transport. Fleet plans routes, dispatches, manages delivery and runs your fleet, with visibility built in.

The bottom line
There's no single winner — the right platform depends on your priorities. project44 is the better fit if your priority is best-in-class real-time visibility across many carriers and modes, layered onto existing execution systems. Fleet is the better fit if you want to plan and execute transport, not just see where shipments are — plus manage your own fleet. For teams that would otherwise buy several separate tools, Fleet's all-in-one, AI-native approach usually wins on total cost and simplicity — but project44 is a genuinely strong choice for the scenario above, and we'll happily tell you so.
Frequently asked questions
Is project44 a TMS?
Not exactly — project44 is a real-time transportation visibility platform. It shows where freight is but doesn't plan or execute transport. Fleet is an execution TMS with visibility built in.
Is Fleet a good project44 alternative?
If you need to plan, dispatch and manage deliveries and your fleet — yes. Fleet does execution plus visibility; project44 is visibility-only.
Can Fleet track shipments in real time?
