Best for shipping labels with rate shopping

Who ShipRush is for
- Fits if you sell on several marketplaces and want cheaper carrier rates in one place
- Works for small shops that start on Express with 3 users
Who ShipRush is not for
- Tight if you have your own carrier deals: that needs Speedy at $29.95
- Not for you if you want live shipping rates at checkout: it does not show them
- Pricey if you add staff: extra users come in bundles of 3 at the plan price
- Watch out: a service fee may apply when buying labels by credit card

Keep ShipRush, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace ShipRush 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 $119.40 a year.
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.
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
What this rests on. ShipRush’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.
