Where It Actually Matters

The rows in the table that decide whether this is the right switch for you.

Pricing: $5,000/Month Before You Dispatch a Single Load

Turvo's published minimum is $5,000 per month — that's the floor, not the ceiling. Setup fees, training, and data migration are additional costs layered on top. For a freight brokerage still building its book of business, that's a six-figure annual commitment before you've proven the model. HatchOS prices per seat with no setup fees, no data migration charge, and no annual contract. You pay for what you use.

Onboarding: 1+ Year Is Not a Feature

Multiple G2 and Capterra reviewers cite 1+ year onboarding timelines with Turvo. Turvo's own customer case study describes a 6–8 week mandatory training program. HatchOS deploys in 14 days through a concierge-led process. Your carriers, customers, and load history move over while your team keeps running ops. The migration doesn't require you to pause your brokerage.

AI: Native vs. Bolted On

Turvo's AI story is a patchwork of third-party integrations — Vooma handles email quoting, Augment provides the AI automation layer, Highway handles carrier identity. Each is a separate vendor, a separate contract, and a separate point of failure. HatchOS ships AI employees as a native layer: six defined roles (dispatch, carrier management, compliance, etc.) that run inside the same system where your loads live. No integration work required.

White-Label: Who Owns Your Brand?

Turvo does not offer white-label. Your customers and sub-agents see the Turvo interface and brand. If you're building a branded freight operation — whether as a 3PL, an agency model, or a branded sub-agent network — Turvo keeps your brand out of the equation. HatchOS supports full white-label: your logo, your domain, your brand inside the platform.

Agent Commissions: The Invisible Complexity

Freight brokerages using an agent model — where independent agents bring in freight under your authority — need commission automation. Turvo doesn't natively handle this. HatchOS auto-calculates agent commissions per load based on configurable split rules, gives agents real-time visibility into their own earnings, and lets managers override on a per-load basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from brokers switching from Turvo.

Can we keep our existing carrier relationships when switching from Turvo?

Yes. HatchOS imports your carrier database during migration. All 724+ carriers in our current customer's network came over through the same process. Your carrier relationships, rates, and scorecard history migrate with you.

How long does migration from Turvo take?

14 days or less. Our concierge migration team handles the data move — carriers, customers, load history, and active shipments. You continue dispatching throughout. There's no blackout window.

What about our existing EDI connections with carriers?

HatchOS supports EDI 204, 214, 990, and 210 — the same set Turvo uses. Existing EDI carrier relationships transfer to HatchOS without renegotiation.

Does HatchOS integrate with Turvo if we're not ready to fully switch?

Yes. HatchOS and Turvo can run in parallel during a transition. We currently sync live with Turvo for shipment data — our customer HTG ran a parallel period before fully migrating ops to HatchOS.

How is HatchOS pricing different from Turvo's $5,000/month?

Turvo's $5,000/month is a flat floor, independent of headcount. HatchOS is per-seat — you pay only for active users. For a 15-seat team, HatchOS Starter runs $2,985/month — that's 40% of Turvo's minimum, with no setup fees, no training surcharge, no annual contract.
