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.

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.
