Which one is for you
Pick AfterShip if
- Fits if your inbox fills up with "where is my order?" messages
- Works for Shopify brands that buy labels elsewhere and want one tracking page across carriers
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need to buy labels, as it only tracks parcels and sells labels as a separate product
- Tight if you stay free, since Free sends no customer emails, has no branded page and stops at 50 shipments
- Pricey if you need the API, webhooks or your own domain, which start on Premium at $70 a month
- Watch out: each shipment over the quota costs $0.08 on Essentials or $0.12 on Premium, and the $1 first month then goes to $11
- Not for you if you want a phone or desktop app, as it runs on the web only
Pick TrackingMore if
- Fits if you want a branded tracking page for a small store
- Works for developers who need a tracking API and webhooks
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need notifications on a free plan, because they start on Basic at $9
- Tight if you ship more than 50 parcels a month for free, since credits run out
- Watch out: the credit steps above the entry size are not shown without choosing a plan
- Watch out: air cargo tracking is a separate product with its own plans
- Pricey if you want carrier analytics or team roles, which sit on Pro at $59

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
