About Sendcloud
Sendcloud is multi-carrier shipping software for European online shops, covering labels, checkout delivery options and returns. Every plan, annual label cap and per-label fee is published: free for up to 20 parcels a month, Lite at €28 a month plus €0.10 per label, Growth at €87 plus €0.09, Premium at €175 plus €0.08 and Pro at €639 plus €0.07. Higher plans reach more than 170 couriers with multiple contracts per courier, and yearly billing is 20% lower.
Why buyers compare Sendcloud alternatives
Each plan carries an annual label cap, and labels above the monthly limit cost a €0.15 surcharge. Branded tracking pages and return portals start at Growth, not Lite. The per-label fee adds up as volume grows. Sellers who want flat fees, US carrier discounts or enterprise integration compare the tools below.
Vendor details and trade-offs
ShipStation prices by monthly shipment band rather than per label, from US$14.99 a month for 50 shipments on Starter.

Own carrier accounts start at Standard, and prices vary by geography.
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

Potential strengths
- A free plan and a low published paid entry price
- Connecting the seller's own carrier account is free on Pro
Trade-offs

EasyPost is a shipping API for engineering teams and platforms, covering labels, rate shopping, address verification, tracking and insurance.

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
