PalletPlan review
Affordable 3D load planning with optimization, sequencing and driver-sheet exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PalletPlan is a browser-based 3D load planning application for trailer and container dispatchers. It supports manual pallet placement, automatic multi-pass optimization, stacking constraints, delivery-order sequencing and client grouping. Teams can plan standard, refrigerated and jumbo trailers, 20- and 40-foot containers, high-cube containers and custom vehicle footprints. Its feature set suits logistics teams that need practical load layouts and dispatch-ready documentation without a broader transportation management system.
Pricing is structured around a usable free tier and paid collaboration features. PP / Free costs €0 per account and includes the full 3D planner, auto-pack, PNG export and one saved plan. PP / Pro costs €14.99 per seat per month when billed monthly, adding unlimited plans and trailers, plan sharing, stacking rules, trailer presets, driver loading sheet PDFs, client groups and per-client manifests. PP / Team costs €9.99 per seat per month monthly or €7.99 per seat per month when billed annually, with centralized billing, organization management, volume discounts and the Pro feature set. According to the vendor's pricing page, VAT is added at checkout.
PalletPlan covers a broad set of physical loading requirements, including weight-related axle and kingpin calculations, delivery sequencing and mixed vehicle types. Browser autosave and saved plans support recurring planning work, while PNG and PDF exports help turn layouts into operational documents. The trade-off is ecosystem depth: the product is web-only, has no API access and does not provide native TMS integrations or JSON export. Small dispatch teams that prioritize visual planning and controlled costs should consider it; mature connected operations needing automated system-to-system workflows should choose an alternative.
