Which one is for you
Pick Shippo if
- Fits if you ship from a Shopify, Etsy or eBay store and want several carriers' rates side by side
- Works for developers who want labels and tracking inside their own app through an API
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to print labels from a phone, since the listing shows a web app only
- Tight if you stay free, as Starter stops at 30 labels a month and 1 user, and labels on your own carrier account cost 5¢ each
- Pricey if you grow well past 200 labels, since Pro rises to $179 a month at 10,000 and $0.08 a label beyond that
- Watch out: non-US address checks cost 6¢ to 9¢ each, and tracking or rating calls outside Shippo labels are billed at API rates
- Watch out: branded tracking emails, pick lists and phone support need Pro, 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

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C200 labels a month means Pro: $17 a month billed yearly ($19 monthly), with no label fee listed on top.

It climbs with volume, to $179 a month at 10,000 labels. | D€159.20 a month on annual billing (€199 monthly) for 2,000 shipments. The category's dearer quarter starts at $75, so this is near the top. |
| Free plan and trial | CStarter is free for up to 30 labels a month and 1 user, with discounted rates, tracking and return labels. A shop that ships most days is past 30 well inside the month, and labels on your own carrier account cost 5¢ each. | D14-day free trial included; the listing doesn't say whether it needs a 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.
