| Pricing | Not published · free tier: None | From $17/mo (App Pro), or $205/year annually (vendor labels this '10% savings') · free tier: App Starter: free, up to 30 labels/month, 1 user, unlimited store connections, email support only. API Starter: 30 labels/month free, then 7¢/label. |
| Pricing model | Custom (quote-based) | Freemium subscription plus usage-based per-label and per-API-call fees |
| Best for | Established D2C brands with predictable volume high enough to clear a negotiated monthly minimum, especially subscription-box and kitting-heavy operations or sellers needing owned-warehouse control plus international/B2B fulfilment. | Small-to-mid US e-commerce merchants shipping roughly 30–2,500 parcels a month on Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, Wix, BigCommerce or Squarespace who want discounted carrier rates and branded tracking without a warehouse system — plus developers and platforms who need a published per-call shipping price list. |
| Avoid if | You have low or highly seasonal volume (the minimum is charged on projected volume regardless), need to compare published prices before talking to sales, want a short and easily exited commitment, or want shipping software without outsourcing warehousing. | You need inventory management or barcode/peripheral hardware in the same system, consistently ship above 10,000 parcels a month, are Canada- or non-US-heavy, or require phone support at the entry price point. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
