Who looks for a Marcura alternative

Searches for a Marcura alternative often come from teams focused on the procurement and quoting step rather than Marcura's broader cost, payment and port-services suite. Marcura spans DA-Desk, PortLog, MarTrust and, through ShipServ, e-procurement; Tidal does one thing deeply.

Tidal reads inbound email RFQs, matches line items to IMPA and ISSA codes at 90%+ first-pass accuracy, applies your margin rules and returns a quote in under 30 minutes. It is publicly priced from $2,500 per month with no per-RFQ fees or volume caps and goes live in about a week.

When Marcura is still the right fit

Marcura still fits when you need disbursement accounting, port cost management or maritime payments, which Tidal does not provide. Tidal focuses only on turning RFQs into quotes and can run alongside those services.
