Which one is for you
Pick ShippingEasy if

- Skip it if you want to know the marketing add-on's price up front, as the pricing page doesn't show it
- Pricey if you bring your own carrier account, which adds a monthly fee on top
- Watch out: the plan rises with volume, from $19.99 at 200 shipments to $29.99 at 500, and postage is on top
- Not for you if you need an API or a phone app, as neither is on record
Pick ShipRush if

- Pricey if you add staff: extra users come in bundles of 3 at the plan price
- Watch out: a service fee may apply when buying labels by credit card

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.
