Pick Delhivery if

Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price list, as no rates are published

- Works for developers who want labels and tracking inside their own app through an API

- Watch out: branded tracking emails, pick lists and phone support need Pro, and postage is paid on top
How we grade them
| 1.6GPADelhiveryWeak | 2.4GPAShippoFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published on the pages read. A carrier is also a different kind of thing from the software in this category, so there is no like-for-like figure. | C200 labels a month means Pro: $17 a month billed yearly ($19 monthly), with no label fee listed on top. That's a little under the middle of what this category charges, but not in its cheapest quarter. It climbs with volume, to $179 a month at 10,000 labels. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on record, so you pay before you use it. | CStarter is free for up to 30 labels a month and 1 user, with discounted rates, tracking and return labels. A shop that ships most days is past 30 well inside the month, and labels on your own carrier account cost 5¢ each. |
| Features | CExpress parcel, truckload freight, warehousing, international and a return-risk predictor. It is a carrier, so it needs shipping software or your own system to book. | BRates from 40+ carriers, orders pulled in from Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Amazon and more, bulk labels with shipping rules, customs forms, return labels and, on Pro, branded tracking emails and pick lists. That's the whole job, plus an API. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You set up an account and rates with its sales team. | CNo store rating on record. It's a web app, and you connect your stores and set shipping rules before batch printing earns its keep. That's the ordinary amount of setup for this category. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only on the listing, with no integrations named. | BWeb only, with no phone or desktop app listed, but it connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Wix, BigCommerce, Etsy, eBay and Amazon, and there's a shipping API. Web with integrations is a B here. |
| Best for | parcel delivery and logistics in India | multi-carrier labels for small online shops |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
