Seeing lots of posts about how to quit ShipStation and where to turn instead, given that ShipStation is tripling our monthly fees starting in May '25 simply to maintain API access (the exact date seems to be different for each customer...another money grab technique).

Hoping to consolidate advice on ShipStation alternatives here...and maybe even get ShipStation's attention about how forcing customers into the Gold level subscription merely for API access is just one of many signs about how little they care about their customers.

Wonder how many likes and views this post can get to help steer potential customers away from ShipStation so they don't get hoodwinked with 3x monthly fees like we have...and also to help each other with the best ShipStation alternatives. Ready, go! 🙂

      We're going to Easypost as a result of this. Others have said: 

      The first three that come to mind are Shippo, Easyship, and Pirate Ship. Just FYI, Stamps<dot>com, Endicia, ShipEngine, ShippingEasy, ShipWorks, GlobalPost, Shipsi, Shipbot, and Metapack are all owned by Shipstation’s parent, Auctane. So any of their prices could easily triple overnight as well.

        I have used shiprush for 15 years now for another business.  I moved this current busines to shipstation as shipstation connected to my inventory software directly and this helped us with some sales platforms that did not auto connect to there.   Check out shiprush as i am sure it will meet the needs of a lot of people on here.

          Hey! What company did you end up changing to?
