Switching from another shipping platform?
Keep your carrier accounts. Drop the per-label tax.
Most shipping software makes money on your postage. SHIP-OS doesn't sell labels at all: you connect the accounts you already pay for, rate-shop across all of them at your negotiated rates, and pay us once — $10 — for the platform. The cheapest label wins on merit, because we don't take a cut of it.
| What matters | Label-reselling platforms | SHIP-OS |
|---|---|---|
| Postage | Rates they broker — the spread is the business model | Your own accounts, at your negotiated rates |
| Platform fee | Monthly tiers that rise, or per-label fees | $10, once. Then 6 months free |
| Rate shopping | Within their carrier network | Across Shippo, ShipEngine, EasyPost, Stamps.com, and direct — side by side |
| Warehouse depth | Outbound label focus | The whole loop: inbound, put away, pick, pack, ship, track, return, bill |
| 3PL features | Rarely | Multi-client stock, available-to-sell to client storefronts, storage billing from a trusted ledger |
| The floor | Web-portal scanning at best | Four native iPhone apps with Android parity, offline-tolerant, lock-and-dwell scanning |
| Printing | Print and pray | Durable outcomes — only a confirmed print marks shipped |
| AI | Bolted on, if anything | Bots in your chat, on your own keys — any provider, Western, Chinese, or local |
Comparison describes common label-reselling platform economics, not any specific vendor's current pricing.
Switching keeps everything
- Your existing platform account becomes a rate source.
- Keep the account, keep the rates — SHIP-OS shops it alongside your Stamps.com and EasyPost accounts instead of replacing them.
- Orders keep flowing from every channel.
- Shopify, TikTok, CSV — one clean intake, same as before, with your rules deciding carrier, service, box, and printer.
- Six months to be sure.
- Run it through real work before pricing is even a conversation. Your data and history stay yours either way.
