Which one is for you

Pick Sendcloud if

  • Fits if you sell from Europe and ship with DPD, GLS or DHL
  • Works for shops selling on Bol, Amazon and Etsy alongside their own store

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you ship a lot, since every label adds €0.10 on Lite on top of the plan, and €0.15 past the plan's limit
  • Not for you if you ship from the US, as its pages only name European countries and the UK
  • Tight if you want a branded tracking page or returns portal on Lite, since they start on Growth at €87
  • Tight if you stay free, as Free stops at 20 parcels a month, 1 user and 2 shop integrations
  • Watch out: Lite allows 3 users, 3 integrations and 5 shipping rules, and postage is paid on top

Pick ShippyPro if

  • Fits if you are a European online brand using several carriers
  • Works for businesses that need ERP or warehouse system connectors

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you ship small volumes: the entry plan is €159.20 a month annually for 2,000 shipments
  • Skip it if you need the multicarrier API below Enterprise, because it isn't included
  • Watch out: prices are in euros, and the page also showed a Professional table at €159 that doesn't match the plan names
  • Watch out: Enterprise has no published price and is billed annually

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.
