Dispatch-centric TMS for small to mid-sized asset-based carriers.
Numeo One (TMS) compared with Truckbase (TMS)
Truckbase is the closest competitor on this list to Numeo One by buyer: “a dispatch-centric TMS for small to mid-sized carriers”, asset-based only, roughly 5 to 50+ trucks. Both publish a price, which makes this one of the few honest cost comparisons available in the category. The difference is the shape of the price — Truckbase publishes a $290/month floor and quotes the rest, while Numeo One publishes a per-truck rate all the way up.
Numeo One
Truckbase
Side-by-side on the eight criteria that matter most for dispatch automation.
| Feature | Numeo One | Truckbase |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | TMS for carriers under ~100 trucks | Dispatch-centric TMS, asset-based carriers, 5–50+ trucks |
| Published pricing | Full per-truck rate — $10 and $15 | Floor only — “minimum $290/month (billed annually)” |
| Cost at 5 trucks | $50/mo (Basic) | $290/mo floor |
| Cost at 10 trucks | $100/mo (Basic) | $290/mo floor |
| Cost at 29 trucks | $435/mo (Pro) | $290/mo floor — crossover is around here |
| Driver settlements / payroll | Yes — on every plan | Yes |
| EDI | No | Yes |
| AI in the product | Agents for track & trace, documents, broker email | AI-powered PDF load importer |
| Driver app | Native iOS + Android, 4.9★ | Mobile-friendly web; dispatch by text, no app required |
| Serves brokers | No — carrier side only | No — asset-based carriers only |
These aim at almost exactly the same carrier, which makes the comparison unusually clean — and it comes down to price and automation, because the capability lists now match. Truckbase does driver settlements and so does Numeo One, on every plan, alongside invoicing, factoring, IFTA, fleet and safety. Their published floor is $290/month billed annually. Numeo One is $50 at five trucks and $100 at ten, and publishes the full per-truck rate rather than a minimum plus a quote. On automation it is not close: Truckbase's AI is a PDF load importer, while Numeo One runs agents that read rate confirmations, chase track-and-trace, verify BOLs and PODs, handle invoice disputes and draft broker replies. Truckbase is a good, focused system of record and its no-app dispatch is a smart answer to driver adoption. If you want more than a system of record for less than a third of the entry price, Numeo One.
They publish a floor: “our new minimum price is $290 / month (billed annually)”. Above that they name five billing models — per truck, per driver, per load, flat annual and custom — without attaching rates to any of them, so the real number comes from a sales conversation. Numeo One publishes the full rate: $10/truck/mo on Basic and $15/truck/mo on Pro.
Around 29 trucks, where Numeo One Pro at $15 per truck reaches their $290 floor. Below that Numeo One is cheaper — $100 a month at ten trucks against $290. Above it, we cannot say for certain, because Truckbase does not publish what it charges beyond the minimum.
Driver settlements and EDI. Both are genuine gaps on our side and we would rather say so than let you discover it after signing. They also let drivers work without installing anything, dispatching over plain text and email, which matters if driver app adoption has failed for you before.
Publishes its complete pricing rather than a floor, and runs AI agents across the operation — track and trace, document abstraction, rate-confirmation reading, POD-to-rate-con matching, and drafting replies to broker email. Truckbase’s AI is one feature: a PDF load importer.
