FAQ

Traqo vs ShipsGo

Is Traqo a good ShipsGo alternative?

Yes — and for most teams a better-value one. Traqo tracks containers and bills of lading across 170+ carriers like ShipsGo, but adds built-in vessel tracking, demurrage and CO₂ analytics, and flat monthly pricing instead of a credit balance you keep refilling.

How does Traqo pricing compare to ShipsGo?

ShipsGo is credit-based — you top up and spend. Traqo gives you free daily lookups plus flat monthly plans (Starter $10, Professional $30, Business $65), so your cost is predictable no matter how active a month gets.

How is Traqo different from ShipsGo overall?

Both track containers and BLs across a broad carrier network. The difference is the model: ShipsGo charges credits and treats vessel tracking and analytics as secondary, while Traqo is a complete workspace — container, BL and vessel tracking, alerts and analytics — on flat monthly plans (from $10/mo) with free daily lookups to try it.

Can I move my ShipsGo shipments to Traqo easily?

Yes — bulk-upload your container/BL numbers from Excel or CSV and Traqo starts tracking them immediately, no migration project required.

Does Traqo have an API like ShipsGo?

Yes — a REST API for container, BL and vessel data so you can push tracking into your own TMS or ERP.

Is Traqo only a container tracking tool?

No. Traqo Ocean is the container-tracking product within Traqo — a Modern Logistics OS. The wider platform also covers FTL and PTL road-freight tracking, procurement (RFQ & reverse auctions, indent automation), 3D load planning, ERP integration, freight settlement and AI control-tower insights — so you can grow well beyond container tracking on one platform.

Where do I log in to ShipsGo?

ShipsGo’s login is on its official website (shipsgo.com). If you’re weighing up alternatives, Traqo lets you start tracking containers free in under two minutes — no long signup. Compare the two side by side above.

How do I track a container the way I would on ShipsGo?

Paste your container or bill-of-lading number into Traqo and it tracks across 170+ carriers, free — a quick way to see how Traqo’s tracking compares with ShipsGo before you decide.

The verdict

ShipsGo is fine for occasional, credit-based tracking. For steady volume, Traqo wins on predictable pricing, vessel tracking and analytics — free to start.
