## Key features

- **Stamps and postage at your desk:** Print USPS stamps and postage for letters and envelopes on an office printer, with custom envelopes and labels.
- **Discounted multi-carrier labels:** Compares USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express and GlobalPost rates. Stamps.com advertises up to 90% off carrier rates; that is its own claim.
- **Certified and Registered Mail:** Professional and higher send Certified Mail and Registered Mail, with tracking and proof of delivery built in.
- **Pickups and address checks:** Schedule free pickups with UPS, USPS and FedEx and verify addresses before printing, on every plan.
- **Tracking, history and reports:** Track shipments across carriers in one place; Professional adds recipient notification emails, print history, reports and analytics.
- **Desktop and mobile apps:** Apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android, plus a classic PC program for XML import and export and packing slips.

## Good for

- Law, accounting and insurance offices that send Certified Mail
- Small businesses that mail letters as well as ship parcels
- Organizations replacing a postage meter across several offices

## Worth knowing

- Basic allows only 25 stamps and 10 labels a month and has no live support; Professional removes the caps.
- Postage, insurance and special services are charged on top of the monthly fee.
- The advertised discounts (up to 90% off on the pricing page) apply only to shipments from the continental US.
- Multi-Location has a listed starting price but is bought by contacting sales.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Basic'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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No 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.
- **Features: C.** Stamps 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** 4.11 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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.

These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Stamps.com's own pages on 18 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.

## Where it stands among shipping software

- Stamps.com's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 1 of the 10 other shipping software we grade, and level with 2.
- It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 1 of 10) and worst on free plan and trial (C, above 0).
- Its paid plans start at $14.99 a month, against a middle price of $19.49 for the category: 1 of the 9 others that charge start lower.
- On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
