Print postage, stamps and discounted shipping labels from the office
Stamps.com report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for offices printing postage and Certified Mail
Stamps.com is a postage meter replacement first: stamps on your office printer, Certified and Registered Mail, and discounted labels for USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL Express. Basic at $14.99 stops at 10 labels a month, so a shop sending 200 parcels needs Professional at $29.99. And the listing shows no store connections, only QuickBooks Online.
Who Stamps.com is for
- Great if your office sends Certified or Registered Mail every week
- Handy when you mail letters as well as parcels and want stamps from your own printer
- Good for organisations replacing a postage meter across a couple of offices
Who Stamps.com is not for
- Skip it if you sell online and want orders pulled in from your store, as no store links are listed
- Tight if you stay on Basic, which allows 10 labels and 25 stamps a month
- Not for you if you ship from outside the continental US, where the advertised discounts don't apply
Why Stamps.com gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyBasic's 10 labels a month won't cover 200 parcels, so the figure is Professional at $29.99 a month, with unlimited labels and no label fee listed. That's above the dearer quarter of this category, short of its dearest, and no yearly price is on record.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan. There's a 30-day trial with no charge until it ends, and then it bills monthly. The listing doesn't say whether it needs a card.
- CFeaturesStamps and postage at your desk, labels for USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express and GlobalPost, Certified Mail, pickups and address checks. But tracking emails need Professional, and the listing shows no store or marketplace connections for online orders.
- CEase of use4.11 from 625 App Store ratings for its mobile app, which is the middle band. Basic users get a chatbot and the help centre only; phone support starts on Professional.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, so it's on everything. But QuickBooks Online is the one integration listed and no API is on record, so it can't reach an A.

Keep Stamps.com, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Stamps.com 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: 7 of the 10 other shipping software grade higher. It costs $179.88 a year.
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.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Stamps.com’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.
