How we grade them
| 2.4GPAEasyshipFair | 2.4GPAPitneyShipFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C200 shipments a month means Plus: $23 a month billed yearly ($29 monthly), for up to 500. That's at the dearer quarter of this category. On Easyship's own rates no label fee is listed, but labels on your own courier account add $0.05 each. | CPremium is $34.99 a month with no usage fee and 10 users. Pay-as-you-go costs nothing a month but adds 5% to every label, which adds up fast over 200 parcels. We graded the $34.99: above the dearer quarter of this category, short of its very dearest. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree covers 50 shipments a month for 1 team member, with discounted rates and duty estimates. A shop sending 200 a month passes that quickly, and Free can't link your own courier account. | CPay-as-you-go has no monthly fee, but 5% goes on every label, so it's never really free. Premium has a 30-day trial that rolls into $34.99 a month unless you cancel. |
| Features | B550+ courier services, duty and tax estimates on every plan, customs documents, rules and bulk labels, branded tracking emails, prepaid return labels, and live rates at checkout from Plus. The whole job, with an API. | BDiscounted USPS, UPS and FedEx rates compared by price or delivery date, batch labels, orders pulled from Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Etsy, and tracking shared with recipients. Stamps and Certified Mail come on top, which few rivals here do. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It's a web app where you connect a store and set rules and box sizes before it runs on its own, which is the usual setup for this category. | CNo store rating on record for its iPhone and Android apps, so we go by the listing: you connect your stores and compare carriers, which is the ordinary setup for shipping software. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Wix and TikTok Shop, plus an open API and webhooks. No phone or desktop app is listed, so it stops at a B. | BWeb, iPhone, iPad and Android, with orders from Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Etsy and your own DHL Express account. No desktop app is listed, and the API needs a quoted Enterprise plan. |
| Best for | international shipping with duty estimates | small US businesses mailing letters and parcels |

Worth knowing
Easyship

- Postage, carrier charges and supplies are paid on top of any plan, and the discounted rates apply to shipping from the US only.
