SeaRates’ exit has produced two new freight-tech projects linked to its former leadership. Qubictron was founded by SeaRates founder Sergey Dzhashytov; Navo24 was started by former SeaRates managers Alexei Shatunov and Stefan Rogovskiy. TimeToCargo comes from a different background and is narrower by design: container tracking and shipment-data delivery rather than a broad freight toolkit.
The products compared
Qubictron | Navo24 | TimeToCargo | |
Main focus | Logistics data and operational intelligence | Modular freight tools for software and AI | Multi-carrier container tracking and automation |
Tools | Ocean/air tracking, schedules, transit time, rates & booking, CO₂, load optimisation, freight intelligence | Tracking, schedules, loading, rates, air cargo | Container tracking, dashboard, API, webhooks |
Trial | 100 trackings / 4 days | 5 containers + 100 MCP calls/month, no expiry | 50 shipments / 7 days |
API | Separate product; test access available | REST + MCP; paid scale plans quoted | Included in trial and every paid plan |
MCP | No | Yes | In development |
Pricing | Quote-based | Product tiers plus quote-based scale pricing | Published shipment-based pricing |
The trial and API conditions above reflect our September 2026 review. Qubictron’s commercial terms confirm that paid pricing is individually quoted, while Navo24 currently presents five free tracked containers and 100 monthly MCP calls before moving larger volumes to sales.
Qubictron has the broadest scope. Tracking sits alongside rates, booking, schedules, emissions and loading. Its positioning also moves beyond status visibility towards exception management: identifying shipments where delays may lead to missed connections, storage costs or other operational risks.
Navo24 takes a modular route. TrackingMCP sits alongside schedules, loading, rates and air cargo, with REST and MCP interfaces. That is relevant for teams building internal software or AI agents rather than relying only on a tracking dashboard.
TimeToCargo is more focused. It supports 100+ ocean and rail carriers, standardises carrier data, refreshes tracked shipments twice daily, and includes API access and webhooks in the same shipment subscription. It does not try to replace a rate marketplace, schedule engine or load planner.
A note on Navo24’s benchmark
Navo24 published a 12-provider tracking benchmark based on three containers. It reported 220 ms average latency and 98.5% milestone coverage; Project44 was listed at 99% coverage.
Three containers are too small a sample for a market-wide accuracy conclusion, but the test shows Navo24’s priorities clearly: API speed, predictive ETA, AIS data, and transshipment detail.
Pricing by operating scale
Use case | Qubictron | Navo24 | TimeToCargo |
20 shipments/month | Quote required | $35/month for 20 managed shipments observed in our review; Starter workspace: $39/month for 25 containers | $30/month; $15 first month. Dashboard, API and webhooks included |
100/month + API | Quote required; API priced separately | Business: $299/month, up to 500 containers, API access and 25 seats; API limits may apply | $127.50/month; $63.75 first month. |
1,000+/month | Quote; suited to wider risk/intelligence projects | Scale/enterprise quote; SLA and priority support available | At 1,000/month: $1,050/month. Annual equivalent: $9,000/year; |
The Navo24 prices are the tiers observed during our review.
TimeToCargo uses a $1.50 base shipment price with volume discounts, a 50% discount on the first monthly billing period and an additional 20% discount for annual subscriptions. API calls and webhooks are not charged separately.
Who is each platform for?
Qubictron is the clearest fit for larger freight operators, logistics platforms and shippers that want tracking inside a wider layer of rates, schedules, booking and operational intelligence.
Navo24 stands out for developer-led teams testing MCP, AI agents or modular freight components, where software needs to call tracking, schedules or other tools directly.
TimeToCargo fits importers, exporters, forwarders and logistics software teams that mainly need container visibility and a predictable path from manual tracking to API automation without buying a broader freight stack.
The distinction is less about the longest feature list than product direction: Qubictron is building breadth and risk intelligence; Navo24 is betting on composable, MCP-native tools; TimeToCargo stays focused on container data, transparent shipment pricing and straightforward integration.
