Shipping Platform Alternatives, Compared by Feature

What each label platform does and does not do. Postage is priced by the carrier, not the platform, so these comparisons are about tooling.

Every platform on this page resells the same carrier postage, so the rate is not what separates them. What separates them is the tooling: whether there is a native mobile app, how bulk imports work, what happens when a carrier reweighs a parcel, and how much of the workflow you have to do twice.

These 8 comparisons go feature by feature against the platforms sellers most often weigh I'd Ship That against. I'd Ship That prints discounted USPS and UPS labels from a web app and from native iOS and Android apps.

If you are choosing a carrier rather than a platform, the carrier comparisons answer that question instead.
