Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 31 of the 80 other shipping software we grade
Shipium is a shipping platform for retailers, 3PLs, healthcare and B2B shippers with complex networks. It covers shipping execution, delivery promises shown to customers, carrier rating and labels, shipping analytics and automated invoice audit, driven by a rules engine and an AI layer. Sold through demos.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Shipium, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The site has no pricing page and every call to action is a request for a demo.
- 1
Best for shipping rules and delivery promises for big retailers
Shipium is a shipping platform for complex supply chains: delivery promises, a rules engine, audit and simulation.

It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Shipping Management System
Handles shipping execution across a fulfillment network, covering any node, carrier or system, including rating and label engines and a pack station.
- 4
Delivery promise
Customer Experience Suite shows exact delivery dates and replaces static transit times with improved estimates.
- 5
Rules engine and console
A no-code console manages carriers, packaging and network properties, and rules such as carrier selection apply by origin or across the network.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 31 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 Shipium 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 shipping rules and delivery promises for big retailers
Shipium is a shipping platform for complex supply chains: delivery promises, a rules engine, audit and simulation. The site has no pricing page and every call to action is a request for a demo. It is not a label printer for small sellers.
| 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 site has no pricing page and asks for a demo. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial are listed, so nothing is free to try. |
| Features | B | A shipping management system, delivery promises, a rules engine, always-on audit and simulation. The listing names no gap, though carrier coverage depends on region and contracts. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is aimed at complex supply chains and set up with the vendor. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web platform with UPS, FedEx, Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, Kibo and Google listed, and a directory of more than 220 carriers. |
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 Shipium is for
- Fits if you run a large, complex supply chain and want delivery promises tied to shipping rules
- Works for teams that already use Manhattan Associates or Blue Yonder
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a price: there is no pricing page and every call to action is a demo
- Skip it if you are a small seller who needs to print labels
- Watch out: carrier coverage depends on your region and contracts
- Not for you if you want a free plan or trial: none is listed
Good to know
Good for
- Enterprise retailers and 3PLs with several fulfillment nodes
- Teams that want accurate delivery dates shown at checkout
- Shippers that want shipping execution and billing audit in one system
Worth knowing
- No prices are published and the site has no pricing page; every call to action is a request for a demo.
- It is aimed at complex supply chains, so it is not a simple label-printing app for small sellers.
- The site lists a carrier directory of more than 220 carriers; coverage depends on your region and contracts.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Shipium'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 Shipium’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. shipium.com has them.

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 Shipium 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.
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.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Shipium’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.
