About Easyship

Easyship is shipping software built for cross-border sellers. It compares more than 550 courier services and includes import tax and duty calculation on its free plan, with taxes and duties shown at checkout on higher plans and HS code tools in the dashboard. In the United States the free plan covers 50 shipments a month, Plus costs US$29 for 500, Premier US$69 for 2,500, and Scale US$99 to US$199 for 5,000 to 10,000. Enterprise is on request.

Why buyers compare Easyship alternatives

The free plan cannot link the seller’s own courier account; that starts on the US$29 plan. API access is tied to specific tiers, and calls beyond plan quotas are billed per call. Plan inclusions and prices vary by country. Sellers with mostly domestic volume or enterprise carrier contracts compare the tools below.

Vendor details and trade-offs

Potential strengths

  • Entry price, user counts and plan features are published
  • Unlimited store connections are included on every paid plan

Trade-offs

  • Bringing an existing carrier account starts at Standard, not Starter
  • Plan prices vary by geography and shipment volume, so the listed figure is a starting point

Consider forSmall ecommerce sellers that want a free starting plan with discounted USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL Express rates and a later path to a shipping API
Pricing notesFree plan up to 30 labels per month; Pro US$17 per month for 1 to 200 labels per month, with an annual option shown at a 10% saving; higher tiers by contact; API calls not tied to Shippo labels billed at API rates (checked Sep 2026)

Potential strengths

EasyPost

mid-marketeasypost.com ↗
Consider forEngineering teams and platforms that want a multi-carrier shipping API for labels, rate shopping, address verification, tracking and insurance, priced per label
Pricing notesFree for up to 3,000 labels on EasyPost wallet carriers, then a per-label fee; bring-your-own-carrier-accounts US$20 per month plus a per-label fee; Enterprise custom; Tracking API US$0.01 to US$0.03 per shipment; insurance 1% of value, minimum US$1.00 (checked Sep 2026)

It is free for up to 3,000 labels on EasyPost wallet carriers, then charges a per-label fee. Easyship is a dashboard with checkout rates, where EasyPost assumes developers.

Potential strengths

  • Label, tracking and insurance prices are published per unit
  • A no-code Shopify label app shares the same pricing as the API

Trade-offs

  • The per-label fee after the free allowance is not printed on the pricing page
  • The core product is an API, so a merchant without developers relies on the Shopify app or a partner

Sendcloud

mid-marketsendcloud.com ↗
Consider forEuropean ecommerce shops that want multi-carrier labels, checkout delivery options and returns with published plan and per-label prices
Pricing notesFree for up to 20 parcels per month; Lite €28 per month plus €0.10 per label; Growth €87 plus €0.09; Premium €175 plus €0.08; Pro €639 plus €0.07; Enterprise custom; yearly billing 20% lower (checked Sep 2026)

Potential strengths

  • Subscription fees, per-label fees and overage rates are all published
  • Service point pickers and delivery options at checkout sit in the same product as labels
