Freight audit companies, compared

Most of these firms are described as competitors to each other and sell noticeably different things. This is what each one says it does, where the facts were checked, and who it suits. No ranking. Every detail comes from each company’s own public material, checked 10 September 2026, and where a firm does not state something publicly this page says so. We are on the list too, described the same way.

Cass Information Systems

What they sell. Freight audit and payment at the largest scale in the market, plus freight accounting, invoice management and spend reporting. They pay your carriers and they own a bank.

Scale. $37bn of freight spend paid annually, 35 million invoices a year, more than 15,000 carriers in the network.

Model. Fee-based, with payment float part of the economics.

Suits. Enterprise shippers who want one provider owning invoice through payment. Source: cassinfo.com.

Intelligent Audit

What they sell. Automated audit and recovery with heavy parcel depth. In their own words, they identify discrepancies and resolve them automatically.

Scale. More than 2 billion shipments processed.

Model. Not stated publicly.

Model. Not stated publicly.

Suits. Shippers buying a TMS anyway who want fewer vendors. Source: ctsi-global.com.

An analyst in house

What it is. The alternative most mid-market shippers, 3PLs and brokers actually choose: post a freight audit, billing or payment analyst role and have one person check the bills. Continuous headcount, capped by one person’s hours and experience.

Scale. Posted salaries average about $72,000 a year, with quartiles from roughly $57,000 to $93,000. Around 600 freight billing analyst roles were open on Indeed when we looked.

Model. Salary, plus the six to ten weeks a seat like this usually takes to fill, in our experience of hiring for it.

Suits. Operations too small for the incumbents to serve and large enough to fund a salary. Sources: Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, September 2026.

Reivax

What we sell. The analyst’s desk, outsourced. People who know carrier billing audit every line against your contract and the per-carrier templates, run the disputes with the carrier, and hand back a report on what to change so the same lines stop arriving. LTL is where our depth is.

Scale. A small team, one operation at a time.

Model. Monthly, priced under the in-house analyst. Cancel any month.

Suits. Shippers, 3PLs and brokers about to hire for this, who want the disputes run, not flagged. How the desk runs.

The question that actually sorts them

Not who has the best technology. Ask who is responsible for the money after the error is found, and who gets paid whether or not any is recovered.

A provider paid a fee per invoice earns the same whether your recovery is large or zero. A provider paid from recovery does not. An analyst on salary is paid whether or not they find anything, and so are we on a monthly fee, which is why the report each week shows you exactly what was found. None of these is dishonest. They point in different directions, and it is worth knowing which direction your provider is pointed in.

Test any of them on one invoice

Including us. Take an invoice you already paid and ask what was billed against contract. Send us one and we tell you what we find.
