Which one is for you
Pick Easyship if
- Fits if you ship abroad and want duties and taxes worked out before the parcel leaves

- 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 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

Worth knowing
Easyship
- Postage is paid on top of the plan; the "up to 91% off" figure is Easyship's own comparison with retail rates.
- Labels on your own courier account cost $0.05 each on Plus, falling to $0.03 on Scale, and Free cannot link one.
- Each plan caps monthly shipments, from 50 on Free to 10,000 on the top Scale step; more needs Enterprise.
- Easyship says plan contents and prices vary by country; these are the US figures from its plans page.
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.

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.
