Are there monthly minimums?

No monthly fee on Free, which covers 50 shipments a month. You fund a prepaid wallet and pay per label, so a slow month costs you nothing. Past 50 a month, Pro is one flat $40 monthly plan with unlimited shipments and cheaper label pricing.

How does GoatLabels get me to the cheapest rate?

Every domestic shipment is quoted against USPS, UPS and FedEx at the same time, and DHL joins on international lanes. You see the all-in price and the delivery window for each and buy the one that fits — there is no default carrier and no loyalty tax for staying with one.

Is the quoted price the final price?

Yes. Each quote is a single all-in number, and that exact amount leaves your wallet balance when you buy. Nothing is added at checkout, and if you void a label, the amount is credited back to the wallet after the carrier accepts the void.

What can I fund my balance with?

Credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH bank transfer, or crypto. The balance is prepaid and spent label by label, so you are never billed for a month you did not ship in.

Do I have to connect a store to get these rates?

No. Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart and the rest of the 13 connected stores can sync orders into the To Ship queue, but you can also paste a DM, drop in an order screenshot, or type the address yourself and get exactly the same rates.

Does the AI assistant cost extra?

No. Billy drafts the label from a pasted order, a screenshot, or a spoken address before you buy. If you would rather automate it, the API is REST and JSON with unlimited calls on every plan.

How the price drops

Every order rate-shopped. You keep the difference.

Nothing here is a discount you have to qualify for. The label gets cheaper because the order stops being retyped, the carriers get compared instead of assumed, and on Free no subscription runs in a month you did not ship in. One screen of all-in prices and delivery windows: take the cheapest service that still hits the date. There is no default carrier and no loyalty tax for staying with one.

What actually makes a label cheap

Three things move the number, and only one of them is the sticker rate. Which carrier wins changes parcel by parcel — weight, zone, and the date you promised all shift it — so any standing default is a bet you lose some of the time. The second is the cost of being wrong: a mistyped address is the most expensive line item in shipping, and a carrier re-weigh lands as its own ledger entry. The third is the minutes each order eats before the label even exists. How the three ground services trade places by weight and zone is on the cheapest ground shipping services page, and how re-weighs are billed and disputed is on carrier billing adjustments. Printer software can add a fourth cost: some apps charge for every label printed, which is the caseprinting on a Rollo without the app's feeworks through.

What the prepaid wallet actually changes

Fund it with a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, an ACH bank transfer, or crypto — whichever moves your money with the least friction — and every carrier draws from that same balance, so a cheap FedEx quote and a cheap USPS one are paid for identically. Void a label and, after the carrier accepts the void, the credit lands back in the balance, ready for the next one, instead of sitting on a card refund you have to chase. The rail you funded with never changes the rates you are shown. None of the four needs a carrier account of your own either, which is the gap anXPS Ship alternative without carrier applicationsfills for sellers asked to connect their own UPS or FedEx account.

When Pro becomes the cheaper option

Pro is a flat monthly plan with unlimited shipments and cheaper label pricing. It only pays off past a certain volume, which is exactly why it is optional: ship a handful of orders a week and pay-per-label is the cheaper path. When the volume shows up, the flat plan takes over and your per-label cost drops with it. The two plans are compared onthe pricing page. Low, uneven volume is also the usual shape ofshipping labels for print-on-demand sellers, where the provider ships the catalogue and you ship the rest.

Five features that move the per-label number.

Everything that makes a label cheaper.
Nothing that makes it pricier.

No seat fees, no monthly fee on Free (up to 50 shipments a month), no add-on modules. The features below are the ones that show up in the per-label number.

Every shipment rate-shopped,
DDP where offered

USPS, UPS and FedEx quoted against the same domestic parcel, every time, with DHL on international lanes. Separate browser tabs collapse into one row of prices, which is the difference between rate-shopping in theory and doing it on order number forty. Where an international service supports DDP and you choose it, duties and taxes are quoted inside that same all-in number, so a cheap quote is still cheap at your customer's door instead of becoming a surprise bill on delivery.

Rate-shop from wherever you packed it

The cheapest label, two taps away.

Comparing carriers only saves money if you will actually do it on every order, and on order number forty, at the kitchen table, you will not open a laptop to do it. The queue, the quotes, and the buy button all fit on the phone in your hand. There is no desktop leg of the trip.

Paste or snap an Instagram DM, a TikTok message, or a handwritten note — Billy pulls the name, address, and item and validates it.

USPS, UPS and FedEx come back with all-in prices side by side on one screen, DHL on international lanes.

Buy the cheapest service that still meets the date; it debits your prepaid balance on the spot.

One-tap print to your phone's share sheet or a thermal printer over Wi-Fi.

Hands full of tape? Hold the mic, speak the address, and Billy quotes it and queues the label.

Billy is included, not a paid tier

Rate-shop every carrier without touching the keyboard.

Comparing carriers only saves money on the orders you actually compare. Hold the mic, say where the parcel is going, and Billy quotes USPS, UPS and FedEx on the box in your hands (DHL too when it is going abroad), reads the all-in prices back out loud, and queues the one you pick. It remembers repeat buyers and saved box sizes, so the cheap quote is also the right quote — and it answers for the label afterwards. This is the real product, not a render.

The cheap price is the final price.

A rate is only cheap if it survives to the invoice. The same parcel is quoted against every carrier at once and each column is one all-in number locked at quote time — no fuel line, no residential line, no carrier bill arriving the day after to undo the saving.

Pricing for someone shopping on price

Two plans. No monthly fee to print.

You do not have to pick a plan to get a cheap label. Free covers 50 shipments a month, with the API, store sync, webhooks and team seats unlimited, and Pro is a flat monthly plan with unlimited shipments and cheaper pricing on every label. Below that volume, pay-per-label is simply the cheaper option — which is why it is the default.

Who the per-label price really matters to

For a lot of sellers the label is the margin.

Same carriers, same wallet, same one-tap flow, whether that is four orders a week or forty. These are the four shapes of seller where a default carrier quietly costs the most.

Sellers with thin margins

TikTok Shop & live commerce

Per-label margin

When a sale nets a few dollars, the label decides whether it was worth packing — and a hundred orders overnight should not mean a hundred manual quotes. UPS and FedEx are quoted side by side on TikTok orders instead of defaulting to one and hoping; USPS for TikTok orders stays in TikTok Shipping, and DHL quotes international parcels.

side-by-side quotes all-in pricing bulk print

GoatLabels shipments queue with purchased labels

Etsy and Depop makers

Etsy & independent creators

Low and uneven volume, and boxes that are bulky rather than heavy — exactly where a single-carrier habit costs the most. On Free (up to 50 shipments a month), pay-per-label means a quiet month bills you nothing at all.
