EasyPost vs Ship&Co (2026): which should you pick?

Pick EasyPost if

• Fits if you build your own checkout or app and need shipping labels from code
• Works for a shop that ships fewer than 3,000 labels and uses its carrier accounts

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a shipping dashboard with no code, as it is an API
• Watch out: the per-label fee after 3,000 free labels is not on the pricing page
• Pricey if you track a lot, as tracking costs $0.01 to $0.03 a shipment and Advanced Tracking $0.03
• Watch out: insurance costs 1% of shipment value, with a $1.00 minimum

Pick Ship&Co if

• Fits if you ship from Japan and want labels and customs forms from one place
• Works for small sellers with a few dozen parcels a month

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you ship from outside Japan: the site is built around it
• Watch out: carriers are billed separately, using your own accounts
• Pricey if volume grows: the monthly fee steps from $8 to $25 at 51 labels
• Watch out: prices are tax included and the dollar figures are converted from yen

EasyPost

• The per-label fee after 3,000 free labels is not shown on the pricing page.
• Tracking API costs $0.01 to $0.03 per shipment and Advanced Tracking $0.03; sales sets terms.
• Insurance costs 1% of shipment value, with a $1.00 minimum.
• Bringing your own carrier accounts costs $20 a month plus a per-label fee.

Ship&Co

• Pricing combines a monthly infrastructure fee with a per-label charge, so the monthly cost rises with volume; the page states prices tax included.
• Carriers are billed separately: the sender uses their own carrier accounts, apart from Japan Post International, which needs no carrier contract.
• The site is built around shipping from Japan, and which label and bulk features work depends on the carrier and service.
• The pricing page shows yen, dollar and euro figures; the dollar prices are used here.
