Per load or per user
The main difference is how each prices. A per-load plan suits an operation with a small, steady number of loads; a per-user plan suits one where the number of people matters more than the number of loads. Scope also differs by plan, so compare the same capabilities in each quote. Both appear on Defra's list, so either can meet the submission requirement.
