Best for shipping API for developers
EasyPost is a shipping API for labels, rate comparison, tracking and insurance. The first 3,000 labels are free with its own carrier accounts, but postage is extra and the price after that is not on the page.
Who EasyPost is for
- Fits if you build your own checkout or app and need shipping labels from code
- Works for a shop that ships fewer than 3,000 labels and uses its carrier accounts
Who EasyPost is not for
- Not for you if you want a shipping dashboard with no code, as it is an API
- Watch out: the per-label fee after 3,000 free labels is not on the pricing page
- Pricey if you track a lot, as tracking costs $0.01 to $0.03 a shipment and Advanced Tracking $0.03
- Watch out: insurance costs 1% of shipment value, with a $1.00 minimum
Why EasyPost gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyFree for up to 3,000 labels on its own carrier accounts, then $20 a month plus a per-label fee for your own accounts. The per-label price is not shown, so it sits at B.
- BFree plan and trialFree Access covers up to 3,000 labels, with postage extra. Past that each label has a fee.
- CFeaturesLabels, rate shopping, tracking, insurance and client libraries. It is an API you build on, with no ready-made shipping app, which is a gap for non-developers.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You write code or use a connector to make it work.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb and API, with client libraries and seven integrations. No desktop or phone app.

Keep EasyPost, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace EasyPost you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 27 of the 33 other shipping software we grade. It costs $240 a year.
What you could not
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, USPS and UPS among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. EasyPost’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
