Where they're strong
Flexport does tracking. Here's where the intelligence gap opens up.
Satellite verification
Flexport visibility is tied to their forwarding data. CargoPilot independently verifies every vessel position via satellite AIS — carrier-agnostic truth.
Daily AI-powered email updates
Flexport sends operational notifications. CargoPilot sends AI-generated daily briefings that prioritize and summarize across all your shipments.
Accessible pricing
Flexport visibility requires using Flexport as your forwarder. CargoPilot works with any forwarder, any carrier, starting at $79/month.
When Flexport wins
If Flexport is your sole forwarder and you want booking, documentation, customs, tracking, and financing in one platform — Flexport's integrated experience is hard to beat. CargoPilot wins when you use multiple forwarders or want carrier-independent intelligence.
Who typically switches
Shipper using Flexport for some lanes but other forwarders for others, who needs unified intelligence across all their shipments regardless of who's forwarding.
