How is Ellys different from a typical TMS?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ellys is one flat-priced platform with unlimited users and loads, an open API on every paid tier, AI built in, cross-border US–Mexico support, factoring in the same login, and data you can export for free — versus per-seat pricing, setup fees, gated APIs and separate vendors elsewhere.

Capability	Most TMS platforms	Ellys
Pricing	Per-seat or per-load — and quoted on a sales call	One flat monthly price, unlimited users and loads, published on the page
Getting started	Setup fees and multi-week implementations	Free and self-serve — a 30-day trial, moving loads the same day
Open API	Gated to the top plan or sold as an add-on	Open on every paid tier
Artificial intelligence	Bolted on later and billed as an upgrade	AI-native: reads your documents, drafts, audits billing, and confirms delivery — built in
Your data	Locked in — exporting costs extra	Export everything in a day, free — it is your data
What is included	A TMS — tracking, vetting, factoring, marketing and training sold separately	Load management, live tracking, carrier vetting, factoring, marketing and an academy — one login
Cross-border	US-only and English-only	Cross-border US–Mexico native, fully bilingual
Factoring	A separate vendor and a second login	Built in — fund an invoice without leaving the screen
Carrier trust & fraud	You vet every carrier yourself	Live FMCSA verification, trust scoring and double-broker detection, in-box
