One is free forever. One is for power users.
Most teams never need to upgrade. The free dashboard already ships everything other platforms gate behind a subscription tier.

The competition
Same carriers, without the subscription games.
Carrier rates are roughly identical across consolidators. The difference is what the platform around them costs.

Plan ranges reflect publicly listed pricing at time of writing. We don't mark up the carrier rate itself; what you see on the calculator is the rate you pay.
Things people ask
Common questions.
The pricing model is unusually simple for this category, which means the answer is usually 'wait, really?' We mean it.
For developers
Building with the API?
Programmatic label creation through the API carries a small explicit per-label fee. Dashboard and storefront-sync labels are billed at the carrier rate only.
$0.08 per label, flat
Programmatic labels only.
The fee applies on a successful POST /labels/create. No monthly developer-tier, no rate-fetch fee on the first three quotes per shipment. Failed labels never charge.

Print your next label with
shiponline.app.
Sign up, paste a recipient, see the live rate. Nothing charges until you actually buy a label - and we don't bill you a cent for the dashboard around it.
