}'EasyPost's per-shipment fees seem small individually, but they add up. Here's what it looks like across different volumes.
Estimates based on EasyPost's published per-label fees ($0.01-0.02). Does not include additional EasyPost charges for address verification or tracking. Both platforms charge carrier postage rates separately.
We believe in being straightforward. EasyPost is a good platform, and there are scenarios where it could be a better fit.
If you ship through regional carriers, freight forwarders, or international carriers that atoship doesn't support yet, EasyPost's broader carrier network covers more options.
If you're building a shipping product and only need a backend API with no UI, EasyPost's focused API approach has years of maturity in that space.
Migration has a real cost. If EasyPost is working well for your team and the per-shipment fees aren't a concern, switching may not be worth the effort.
