Shipi vs Shippo
Shippo is a strong choice for US domestic sellers who want discounted labels without their own carrier contracts. Shipi is for merchants shipping on their own carrier accounts, often across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, who want their shipping rules set up properly. Here is the fair comparison.

When Shippo is the better choice
- You ship US domestic and do not have your own carrier contracts, so their bundled discounts are real value.
- You ship a low volume of labels each month and want a free entry tier.
- Your carriers are the big US names and you are happy self-serving the setup.
When Shipi is the better choice
- You already have DHL, FedEx, UPS or regional carrier accounts with negotiated rates.
- You ship in Europe, the Middle East or Asia, or use lockers like BoxNow.
- Your shipping needs real rules: fragile goods, COD, zones, free-shipping thresholds, multiple origins.
- You would rather have someone configure it with you than read documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use my own carrier account with Shippo?
Yes. Both platforms let you connect your own carrier accounts. The practical difference is coverage: if your carrier is regional (Aramex, PostNord, DPD, BoxNow, SMSA, ACS, Israel Post), Shipi is likely to support it and Shippo may not.
Which is better for international shipping?
If you are shipping cross-border on your own carrier accounts, especially from Europe or the Middle East, Shipi is built for that case. If you need duty and tax calculated at checkout at high volume, look at Easyship as well. We would rather you pick the right tool.
Does Shipi have a free plan?
You can create an account and test rates and label generation before paying. Check the pricing page for current plans and limits.
How hard is it to switch?
There is nothing to migrate. Orders stay in your store and carrier accounts stay yours. Install Shipi, connect the same carriers, compare a few live rates and print one test label. Reply to any email and we will do it with you.
