Switch and recover more than the plan cost

Why merchants switch from Easyship
Easyship is a capable label printer with strong DDP pricing. ShippyPro adds the post-purchase and financial layer that Easyship leaves to other tools.
The ShippyPro advantage
-
WhatsApp included — Easyship has none
100 msgs/mo in the Pro plan. Easyship has zero WhatsApp at any tier — customers get email with a ~20% open rate instead of 90%.
-
Carrier Invoice Analysis recovers 3–8%
ShippyPro flags carrier overbilling automatically in ~90s with one-click dispute exports. Easyship has no invoice audit module at any plan level.
-
0% markup, no per-label fees, all plans
Bring your own carrier rates at 0% markup on every ShippyPro plan. Easyship's €0.03/label fee adds €120/mo at 4,000 shipments.
-
Full API from day one
ShippyPro's REST API is available on all plans. Easyship restricts API access to Enterprise tier — a significant blocker for merchants who need automation early.
Where Easyship falls short
-
Zero WhatsApp — every plan
No WhatsApp notifications anywhere in Easyship. Email-only post-purchase flow means lower open rates and higher WISMO ticket volume.
-
Per-label fees compound at volume
€0.03/label feels small. At 4,000 shipments/month it's €120/mo, €1,440/yr. Easyship becomes significantly more expensive as you scale.
-
Label-printing focus, no post-purchase layer
Built around rate comparison and label generation. No invoice recovery, no review prompts, no failed delivery alerts. Post-purchase growth requires separate tools.
