Shippo shows three plans as of Nov 2026: Starter, which is free, Pro, which shows an entry price in the page text, and Premier, which is contact us. Higher Pro label bands sit in a selector on the page rather than in its text.
Shippo is a shipping app and API for discounted USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL Express labels, tracking, returns and automations. Its plan boxes look short, so here's the table first, then the small charges that sit around it. They're the part you'll feel once you're shipping every day.
Shippo's three plans as of Nov 2026
| Plan | Price as shown | Billing basis | Main limit | Who it suits |

Only the entry Pro figure appears in the page text. The higher label bands are priced in a selector, so we haven't quoted them; move the selector on the vendor's page to see the figure for your volume.
Two limits that trip up growing sellers
The tier is decided by two things. The first is labels: Starter is free up to 30 labels per month, so a store shipping a handful of orders a day passes that quickly. The second is your own carrier account. If you've negotiated your own rates with a carrier and connect that account, Starter charges 5c per label for it. Pro makes that connection free, and so does Premier.
Logins are the third divider, and the one people notice last: 1 user login on Starter, up to 5 on Pro and 15+ on Premier. If more than one person packs and ships, Starter won't stretch, and you'll be looking at Pro for that reason alone.
Charges that sit outside the plan
The FAQ states there are no hidden fees, and the page lists what you pay as separate items. You pay postage on top of any plan fee. Shipping insurance and global address validation are optional and charged per lookup. Non-US address validation is listed at 9c, 8c and 6c per validation depending on the plan.
If you use the API, calls not tied to Shippo labels, such as tracking, rating and address validation, and the Estimate API are billed separately at API Starter rates. That's most relevant for stores that run tracking pages or rate shopping through their own code.
Upgrading across Shippo plans
- Starter: carrier discounts, unlimited store connections, international shipping, automations, return labels, shipment tracking, reporting and analytics, and email support.
