Pricing
Pay for the API. Never the postage.
Bring the courier accounts you already hold. Shipstack shows your own negotiated rates, never a marked-up one. You pay for the software that connects them, and nothing else.

Questions about pricing.
Do you mark up carrier rates?
No. You bring your own carrier accounts and Shipstack quotes your negotiated rates exactly as the carrier returns them. We charge for the API, not for the postage, which is what separates us from a shipping platform that resells its own.
What counts as a label?
One successful call to POST /v1/shipments. A voided label is not refunded, and a multi-piece consignment counts as one label however many parcels it carries.
What happens if I go over my quota?
Nothing breaks. Labels keep being issued and the overage appears on your next invoice at your plan’s rate, from 1.8p on Starter down to 0.7p on Enterprise. If you are consistently over, moving up a tier costs less.
Should I take Flexible or a monthly plan?
Flexible has no monthly fee and is cheapest below roughly 2,800 labels a month, which suits a shop still finding its volume. Past that a committed plan costs less and the gap widens quickly: at 25,000 labels Flexible is GBP 875 and Growth is GBP 299. You can move between them from Shipstack Manager at the start of any billing period.
