How To Manage Your Subscription Plan In Carrier TMS

Introduction

Choosing the right subscription plan in Carrier TMS can make a big difference in how efficiently your business runs. While the Lite Plan gives you a foundation to start moving loads, the Pro Plan is designed for carriers who are ready to scale, simplify operations, and unlock full visibility across every part of their business.

In this article, we'll explain the differences between each plan, what you get with each tier, and most importantly, why upgrading to Carrier TMS Pro helps you save time, reduce manual work, and grow faster.

Carrier TMS Lite Plan (Free Plan)

Lite vs. Pro Plan Comparison

Understanding Carrier TMS Pro Pricing

Super Dispatch uses a seat-based pricing model for Carrier TMS Pro. Your per-seat rate depends on how many seats you have invited or activated.

Pricing Breakdown

• 1 invited/activated seat: $55/month
• 2 or more invited/activated seats: $50/seat/month

When you invite or activate a second seat, all seats update to $50/seat/month — including your first.

Examples:

• 1 invited/activated seat → $55/month
• 2 invited/activated seats × $50 → $100/month
• 3 invited/activated seats × $50 → $150/month

Plan Adjustments

• Adding Seats: Adding a new driver or dispatcher automatically updates your plan. If adding a seat brings your total to 2 or more, all seats update to $50/seat/month. You'll be charged a prorated amount for the remainder of the billing cycle. If your account has a past-due balance, the new seat isn't added until you confirm payment. You're never charged for a seat without confirming it first.
• Deactivating Seats: If deactivating a seat reduces your total to 1, that seat updates to $55/month. Seat changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. Mid-cycle credits are not issued.

Viewing and Managing Your Plan

To view your subscription or update payment details:

1. Log into Carrier TMS.
2. Go to Settings > Subscription to view your active plan and payment options.

From there, you can add a new payment method, update existing information, or adjust your seat count as your team changes.

Admins can also choose the Subscription Contact, the person who gets subscription invoices, receipts, and failed-payment emails. If a payment fails or your card will expire before your next charge, you'll see a warning banner in Carrier TMS. Learn more in Subscription Details & Billing in Carrier TMS.
