ShipBackHome › Compare › GoFreight

The ShipBackHome alternative to GoFreight: for barrel and container shippers, not forwarding teams.

GoFreight is software for freight forwarders, sold through a demo and a sales conversation. If you run a barrel and container shipping business, you need something smaller and more specific: bookings, invoices, the cash and Zelle you already collect, container cutoffs, and tracking your customers can check themselves. ShipBackHome does that, with published prices and a free plan.

  • You need a full forwarding system, including accounting, in one product
  • You are fine with a sales call and custom pricing

ShipBackHome fits if

  • You ship barrels, boxes and containers for families and small businesses
  • You want to start free and see the price up front
  • Your customers pay in cash, Zelle and card, and you want all of it in one place
  • You want customers to track by booking number, with fewer "where is my barrel?" calls

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ShipBackHome a GoFreight replacement?
Not for a full freight forwarding operation. ShipBackHome does not do general ledger accounting, payroll, tax or FMC compliance filings. It is built for barrel, box and container shippers who need bookings, invoices, payments, container fill and customer tracking in one place, without a sales call.
How much does ShipBackHome cost?
Free is $0. Pro is $59/mo or $649/yr. Premium is $129/mo or $1,419/yr. A platform fee applies only to card payments made through ShipBackHome. Cash and Zelle payments you collect directly have no fee.
Can I bring my customers over?
Yes. Export your customers and invoice history as a CSV and import it into ShipBackHome. Most shippers are set up in under 10 minutes. You can export your data at any time.
