## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. PitneyShip is Pitney Bowes's shipping app for small US businesses, and its pull is the mix: discounted USPS, UPS and FedEx labels next to stamps and Certified Mail. Pay-as-you-go has no monthly fee but adds 5% to every label. A shop sending 200 parcels a month will probably want Premium at $34.99, which is dear for this category.

- **Value for money: C.** Premium is $34.99 a month with no usage fee and 10 users. Pay-as-you-go costs nothing a month but adds 5% to every label, which adds up fast over 200 parcels. We graded the $34.99: above the dearer quarter of this category, short of its very dearest.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Pay-as-you-go has no monthly fee, but 5% goes on every label, so it's never really free. Premium has a 30-day trial that rolls into $34.99 a month unless you cancel.
- **Features: B.** Discounted USPS, UPS and FedEx rates compared by price or delivery date, batch labels, orders pulled from Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Etsy, and tracking shared with recipients. Stamps and Certified Mail come on top, which few rivals here do.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record for its iPhone and Android apps, so we go by the listing: you connect your stores and compare carriers, which is the ordinary setup for shipping software.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone, iPad and Android, with orders from Amazon, eBay, Shopify and Etsy and your own DHL Express account. No desktop app is listed, and the API needs a quoted Enterprise plan.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace PitneyShip 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 costs $419.88 a year.

- You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Amazon, eBay and Shopify among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
