How the two models compare
No trash talk — TrueCommerce is a real product with real strengths. This is about which model fits you. Verify their column against your own quote or agreement; ours is published on the pricing page and rendered here live from the same schedule that bills.
| TrueCommerce | EDISQ | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Quote-based — publicly, buyers describe subscription plans plus onboarding and integration fees, varying by partner count, volume, and integrations. Get the full picture in writing. | Published: first 25 documents each month free, then a marginal ladder from $0.50 per document down to $0.10 at volume — no monthly fee on Self-Serve. |
| Onboarding speed | Managed onboarding by their team, typically following a sales and scoping cycle. | Self-serve: sign up today, connect, and send a sandbox document the same day — no sales cycle in the critical path. |
| Per-partner fees | Terms vary by partner count and plan — ask specifically what adding a trading partner changes on your invoice. | None on Self-Serve. On Production, the $100/mo minimum includes your first live partner, +$50/mo per additional live partner — and the minimum applies in full to document usage. |
| GS1-128 labels | Labeling is offered; what's bundled versus billed varies by plan — confirm in your quote. | Free on every plan — generated from the same SSCC-18 allocation as the 856, so the carton barcode always matches the ASN. |
| Sandbox | Testing is part of their managed onboarding — ask what self-directed testing is available. | Unlimited and free on every plan — test documents never bill. |
| Contract terms | Subscription terms vary by agreement — check your renewal date and notice window before switching. | Month to month. No term, no cancellation fee, no setup or mapping fees. |
What would EDISQ cost you?
Your EDISQ cost: /month — compare that to your current invoice.
We won't guess your TrueCommerce invoice — pricing there is scoped per agreement. As a frame: mid-market managed-EDI invoices commonly land in the hundreds to thousands per month once per-partner and change fees stack — check your latest invoice.
The switching path
- Sign up free. No card, no contract — your workspace and unlimited sandbox exist in minutes.
- We mirror your partner list. Add the trading partners you run today; certified maps for 2,200+ partners already exist.
- Parallel-run in sandbox. Trade test documents against each partner's companion guide while TrueCommerce keeps carrying production.
- Certify. Complete each partner's testing or certification steps — we handle the connectivity and validation.
- Cut over partner by partner. Keep your old contract until you're satisfied; there's no EDISQ term forcing your timing.
No setup, mapping, or connectivity fees at any step — and EDISQ itself is month to month, so the risk of trying is a test document, not a contract.
Switching FAQ
What does TrueCommerce do well?
Genuine one-vendor coverage: EDI translation, a large trading-partner network, packaged integrations for systems like NetSuite, Dynamics, and Sage, plus adjacent commerce services. The managed model means someone else builds and maintains your maps.
Why do companies switch from TrueCommerce to EDISQ?
The usual triggers are wanting published pricing instead of a quote, faster self-serve onboarding, per-document billing, and month-to-month terms. EDISQ publishes its whole ladder and starts free.
Will my trading partners notice the switch?
No — partners care that documents keep flowing and validating. EDISQ mirrors your partner list, you parallel-run in sandbox, certify, and cut over one partner at a time.
Do I have to cancel TrueCommerce first?
No. EDISQ signup is free with no monthly fee, so run both in parallel and keep your existing contract until you're satisfied every partner is stable.
What does switching cost?
Nothing up front: no setup, mapping, or connectivity fees, and sandbox documents never bill. You pay only for live documents on the published ladder.
