Discounted multi-carrier shipping and Certified Mail.

Our verdict
PitneyShip consolidates parcel shipping, USPS stamp printing, and Certified Mail into one tool with strong USPS/UPS/FedEx discounts and marketplace connections. The Premium plan at $34.99/mo suits growing teams thanks to rate shopping, Ship Requests, and up to 10 users, though it’s restricted to a single location and caps Certified Mail to 50 per month with a $0.15 ERR overage. The Pay‑as‑you‑go tier is handy but the 5% per‑label fee can erode savings for micro‑shippers. Enterprise unlocks what operations teams want—unlimited users/locations, SSO, automation, API access, and BYO carrier accounts including DHL—but it’s custom‑priced. Overall, PitneyShip is compelling for ecommerce sellers and offices that need Certified Mail, but teams with multiple locations or heavy international needs may outgrow Premium quickly.
