Which one is for you
Pick Easyship if
- Fits if you ship abroad and want duties and taxes worked out before the parcel leaves
- Works for crowdfunding campaigns sending rewards to backers in many countries
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as Free stops at 50 shipments a month and 1 team member and can't link your own courier account
- Pricey if you ship on your own courier account, since Plus adds $0.05 a label for it
- Skip it if you want duties shown at checkout on a low plan, since that starts on Premier at $55
- Watch out: plan contents and prices vary by country, and postage is paid on top; the savings figure is Easyship's own
- Watch out: each plan caps shipments, from 500 on Plus to 10,000 on Scale, and there's no phone or desktop app
Pick Parcel2Go if
- Fits if you send the odd parcel from the UK and want to compare prices
- Works for eBay and Amazon sellers who want discounted labels
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want one fixed price, since cost depends on courier, size, weight and destination
- Watch out: Parcel Protection is an extra and not in the base price
- Watch out: the £30 PrePay credit has terms and conditions
- Tight if you send heavy items, as the from-price covers parcels up to 20 kg

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.
