Deposco vs ShipHero (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Deposco if

• Fits if you run a warehouse and want orders, shipping and planning together
• Works for 3PLs that want a client portal

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you are a small single-location seller, as it spans warehouse, orders and planning
• Not for you if you want a price, as the site routes to a demo
• Skip it if you want to try first, since no trial is listed
• Watch out: our listing only covered the platform overview, so plan limits are not confirmed

Pick ShipHero if

• Fits if you ship more than 25,000 parcels a year from your own warehouse
• Works for 3PLs who need client billing and unmetered users and SKUs

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you are small: $15,000 a year is where Core starts, before onboarding
• Tight if you ship past the 25,000 allotment, as extra shipments are $0.24 each pay as you go
• Skip it if you want a trial, because none is offered
• Watch out: SSO is $500 a month on Core, and EDI and hardware are paid extras
• Watch out: wholesale orders over the allotment are $2.10 each

Deposco

• No prices are published; the site routes to a demo request.
• The platform is broad (warehouse, orders, shipping, planning), so small single-location sellers may need only part of it.
• The vendor lists more than 150 integrations; the popular ones include NetSuite, Shopify and Amazon Seller Central.
• Pages were limited to a platform overview, so plan-level detail and limits are not confirmed.

ShipHero

• Plans start at $15,000 a year, plus a one-time onboarding fee typically starting around $5,000.
• Shipments over the allotment cost $0.24 each pay-as-you-go; wholesale orders over it cost $2.10 each.
• SSO is a $500 a month add-on on Core; EDI, label library, light-directed hardware and NetSuite are paid extras.
• Renewal increases are capped at 10% across every charge on the agreement.
