ALPHA LOADING review
Broad 3D planning coverage with a practical free tier and low-cost Pro entry.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ALPHA LOADING is browser-based 3D load planning software for freight forwarders, industrial exporters, sales teams, e-commerce businesses, and logistics teams. It imports item lists from Excel, recognises mixed units, calculates placements across trucks, containers, and pallets, and applies stacking, orientation, fragility, and weight constraints. Interactive 3D plans, manual editing, numbered loading sequences, multi-container planning, and mixed 20'/40' fleets make it suitable for teams handling varied freight rather than a single container format.
The plan structure gives smaller teams several ways to start. Discovery is free and includes 3 load simulations per month, 15 SKUs and 1 container per plan, full 3D viewing and manual editing, 3 watermarked PDF exports per month, and 30-day history. Pro adds unlimited simulations, references, or SKUs and containers depending on the billing presentation, plus mixed fleets, palletisation, unlimited exports, and permanent 3D share links; pricing is €79.99 per year or €9.99 per month. Business adds shared libraries, roles, permissions, axle load and centre-of-gravity calculations, multi-stop planning, non-standard shapes, ADR, REST API, webhooks, and client workspaces, at €479.90 per year or €49.99 per month. A €4.99 72-hour Pass provides full Pro access.
Its strongest fit is teams that need planning depth without committing immediately to an enterprise deployment. Exports include PDF, Excel/CSV, PNG, and glTF, while REST API, webhooks, Make, and n8n support workflow connections. Enterprise extends the platform with unlimited users and client workspaces, SAML/OIDC SSO, native ERP/WMS/TMS connectors, on-premise or private-cloud deployment, and a contractual SLA. Teams needing those controls should consider Enterprise; smaller operators focused on basic plans may find Discovery’s simulation, capacity, and watermarked-export limits restrictive.
ALPHA LOADING pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Plans trucks, containers, pallets, mixed fleets, and multi-stop loads
- Supports constraints, palletisation, loading sequences, and rich exports
- Offers REST API, webhooks, Make, n8n, and enterprise connectors
- Where it doesn't
- Discovery limits plans to 3 simulations, 15 SKUs, and 1 container monthly
- Discovery PDF exports are watermarked and limited to 3 per month
- SSO, native connectors, private deployment, and SLA require Enterprise
