How we grade them
| 3.0GPAPirate ShipVery good | 3.0GPAVeeqoVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AThe software costs $0, with unlimited users and no monthly fee, markup or minimum volume, so 200 parcels a month costs only the postage. Free and this substantial is an A in any category. | AThe Shipping plan is $0 for unlimited shipments, users and warehouses, so 200 parcels a month costs only the postage. Carriers pay Veeqo a commission on each label instead. Free and substantial is an A. |
| Free plan and trial | AFree outright: every feature and unlimited users, with no paid plan to upgrade to. You pay each label's postage by card or PayPal, and return labels are charged only when used. | AFree outright for shipping: unlimited shipments, users, products and warehouses, bulk labels, reports and the rate shopping API. Only inventory sync, digital picking and unlimited listings cost money. |
| Features | CRates for every USPS and UPS service, batch labels from a spreadsheet or store, presets, custom tracking emails, reports, insurance and pay-on-use returns. The gap is carriers: no FedEx or DHL, and UPS discounts only for shipments from the US. | CRate shopping across six carriers, bulk labels for up to 100 orders a click, shipping rules, protection against A-to-z claims on Amazon orders and profit reports. But nothing in the listing sends tracking emails to buyers, and stock sync needs a paid plan. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You sign up free and can buy a label straight away, but for a shop the work is connecting the store and saving package presets, which is the ordinary setup here. | CNo store rating on record for its iPhone app, so we go by the listing: you connect your sales channels, carriers and shipping rules before the one-click batches pay off. Usual setup for this category. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no mobile app listed, but orders come in from Shopify, Etsy, eBay, WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce, Square and Wix, or from CSV, Excel and ODS files. Web with integrations is a B. | BWeb and iPhone, with Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Walmart, WooCommerce, Etsy, TikTok Shop and NetSuite, plus an API. No Android or desktop app is listed, so it stops at a B. |
