What You Actually Pay Each Month

Shippo's Starter plan is "free" but charges $0.05 per label. Their Professional plan is $49/month. Here is what that looks like at different shipping volumes.

Labels / MonthShippo Costatoship CostYou Save
100 labels$5$0$5/mo
500 labels$25$0$25/mo
1,000 labels$19/mo or $50$0$19/mo
5,000 labels$49/mo or $250$0$49/mo
10,000 labels$49/mo or $500$0$49/mo

Shippo costs shown are for Starter plan ($0.05/label) or Professional plan ($49/mo for unlimited labels), whichever is lower. atoship is free at any volume.

Why Sellers Switch from Shippo

Shippo is a decent platform. But once you start scaling, the costs and limitations show up.

Per-label fees add up fast

Shippo charges $0.05 per label on the Starter plan. That sounds small until you ship 1,000 packages a month and realize you just spent $50 on... nothing. No extra features, no better service. Just a fee for printing a label. With atoship, label creation is free. Period.

Better carrier discounts

Shippo offers solid USPS discounts, but their UPS and FedEx rates leave money on the table. atoship negotiates deeper discounts across all major carriers. For sellers who ship a mix of lightweight and heavy packages, the savings on UPS and FedEx alone can be significant.

More carriers, more options

Shippo covers the basics well. But if you need specialty carriers, regional options, or Asian logistics providers, you will hit a wall. atoship connects to 14+ carriers, giving you access to services that Shippo simply does not offer.

No feature gates behind paid plans

Shippo locks branded tracking pages and automation rules behind the $49/month Professional plan. At atoship, every feature is available from day one. You should not have to pay $49/month just to put your logo on a tracking page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is atoship really free? What is the catch?

There is no catch. atoship is free to use with no monthly fees and no per-label charges. We make money through carrier rate margins, the same way most shipping platforms work. The difference is we do not add subscription fees or per-label charges on top of that.

Can I import my Shippo data into atoship?

Yes. You can connect the same store integrations (Shopify, eBay, Amazon, etc.) to atoship and your orders will sync automatically. Your shipping history stays in Shippo, but all new orders flow into atoship immediately.

Does atoship have an API like Shippo?

Yes. atoship offers a full REST API for rates, label creation, tracking, and address validation. Unlike Shippo, API access is included on all plans at no extra cost. The API supports the same core workflows: get rates, purchase labels, track shipments.

How do the carrier discounts compare?

atoship offers up to 89% off USPS, up to 78% off UPS, and up to 72% off FedEx retail rates. Shippo offers up to 67% off USPS and lower discounts on UPS and FedEx. The exact discount depends on the service and package details, but atoship consistently comes in lower on rate comparisons.

What about Shippo features like insurance and returns?

atoship supports shipping insurance through carrier-provided coverage and third-party insurance options. Return label creation is supported as well. If you use these features on Shippo, you will find equivalent functionality on atoship.

Do I need to sign a contract or commit to a minimum volume?

No. There are no contracts, no minimum shipping volume, and no commitment. You can start using atoship today and stop anytime. There is nothing to cancel because there is nothing to subscribe to.

How long does it take to switch from Shippo?

Most sellers are up and running within 15 minutes. Connect your stores, set your ship-from address, and start printing labels. There is no migration process because atoship syncs directly with your sales channels.
