Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 2 of the 80 other shipping software we grade
ProShip is multi-carrier parcel shipping software for large shippers such as retailers, manufacturers and 3PLs. It does rate shopping, label printing and carrier compliance, and plugs into warehouse, order and ERP systems. A smaller edition, WorldLink, targets small and mid-size shippers.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about ProShip, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No prices are published and it is sold through discovery calls and implementations.
- 1
Best for parcel shipping software for high-volume shippers

- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Rate shopping across carriers
Supports more than 250 domestic and international parcel and LTL freight services, and compares rates to choose the cheapest service per shipment.
- 4
Carrier connectivity options
Connects through carrier APIs, on-platform carrier engines or a mix of both, depending on the speed and stability a shipper needs.
- 5
Automatic carrier compliance
Tracks changing rates, surcharges, service updates and labeling requirements, and the platform updates without version upgrades.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 2 of 80
That is against the other shipping software we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace ProShip 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.

The report card
Best for parcel shipping software for high-volume shippers
ProShip is parcel shipping software for large shippers, covering rate shopping, carrier connectivity and carrier compliance. No prices are published and it is sold through discovery calls and implementations. WorldLink, the smaller-shipper product, covers North America only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; it is sold through a demo or a quote, so it sits in the middle by default. The vendor says WorldLink pricing depends on complexity, engineering, an annual maintenance agreement and licence type. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are listed, so nothing is free to try. |
| Features | C | Rate shopping, carrier connectivity, automatic carrier compliance and enterprise integrations. WorldLink covers North America only, and other regions need the Enterprise product. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is sold through discovery calls and implemented with you, not signed up for. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web login with Manhattan Associates, Cubiscan and Banyan Technologies listed. No desktop or phone app on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who ProShip is for
- Fits if you are a high-volume shipper that wants rate shopping and carrier compliance handled for you
- Works for a business that already runs Manhattan Associates
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you are a small seller: it is sold through discovery calls and implementations
- Not for you if you want a published price: it depends on complexity, engineering and an annual maintenance agreement
- Skip it if you ship outside North America on WorldLink: other regions need Enterprise
- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial: none is listed
Good to know
Good for
- Large retailers and distributors shipping tens of thousands of parcels a day
- IT teams wiring parcel shipping into an existing WMS, OMS or ERP
- Mid-size North American shippers that want a licensed system (WorldLink)
Worth knowing
- No prices are published. The vendor says WorldLink pricing depends on software complexity, engineering needs, an annual maintenance agreement and license type.
- ProShip is sold through discovery calls and implementations, so it is not a self-serve app for small sellers.
- WorldLink covers North American shipping; the vendor points shippers needing other regions to the Enterprise product.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
ProShip's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published; it is sold through a demo or a quote, so it sits in the middle by default.
We could not confirm ProShip’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. proshipinc.com has them.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
2/80
Other shipping software it is graded above
ProShip's GPA of 1.6 is higher than 2 of the 80 other shipping software we grade, and level with 9.
It stands best on value for money (C, above 10 of 80) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 81 shipping software we grade, cut by the letter each got. ProShip’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 10 of 80
- FFree plan and trialAbove 0 of 80
- CFeaturesAbove 0 of 80
- CEase of useAbove 1 of 80
- CPlatforms and integrationsAbove 1 of 80
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace ProShip 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.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 80 other shipping software grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
What this rests on. ProShip’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.
