Easyship is a multi-carrier platform whose plans page is organized around cross-border work, with import tax and duty calculation and customs documentation running through the tiers (per easyship.com/plans, checked 2026-07-28). SMKlog sells international labels online to exactly four countries — Canada, the UK, Germany and Australia — and routes the rest of the world to a manual review, so a seller shipping to many borders will still find Easyship the right answer before this comparison starts.
The same 5 lb carton sent four different distances, quoted the same afternoon, showing what the domestic core actually costs across the map.
From easyship.com/plans on 2026-07-28. We are quoting what rendered and skipping what did not, rather than filling in numbers we could not read.

That last bullet is the standard we hold ourselves to on every competitor page here. If a figure cannot be read off the vendor's own page on a stated date, it does not go on ours.
Here is the US side of the coverage in practice. The same 12 × 10 × 6 in carton at 5 lb left Newark for four destinations on the same afternoon, and the spread between nearest and furthest is the whole story of domestic zone pricing.
| Destination | Cheapest all-in | Service behind it | Fastest window in the same quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoboken, NJ 07030 | $10.37 | UPS Ground Saver | 1 business day, UPS Ground at $11.24 |
| Atlanta, GA 30303 | $13.52 | UPS Ground Saver | 2-3 business days, UPS Ground at $14.05 |
| Dallas, TX 75201 | $15.49 | UPS Ground Saver | 2-3 business days, UPS 2nd Day Air at $23.99 |
| Seattle, WA 98101 | $19.14 | UPS Ground Saver | 2-3 business days, UPS 2nd Day Air at $31.43 |
Two things fall out of that table. Crossing the entire country roughly doubled the floor price, from $10.37 to $19.14, which is a gentler curve than most people expect. And the cheapest row was the same service every time while the fastest was not, so the second and third columns are answering genuinely different questions.
This is the only page in this set where a competitor covers a whole category we have chosen not to enter. It seems worth being exact about the boundary.
What is left after all that is a narrow product: describe the parcel, compare live rates, pay, print, and get a tracking number — USPS, UPS and FedEx on domestic lanes, and the four online countries with the customs form done at checkout. Our services page sets out how a request gets routed between that path and the review path.
Easyship's Free tier and our Free plan both cost nothing and both meter something. Theirs is described around core small-business features; ours allows 15 quotes a month with three of them before any account exists. Read both limits against your own month rather than the headline word.
Once a border is out of the picture, price comes down to weight, box volume and the distance between two ZIP codes. That is why our calculator asks what the item is before anything else, so the box can be estimated properly.
Landed cost, HS codes and import tax rules are specialist work and worth paying for when you need them. We would rather send you to a platform built for it than bolt on a version that gets it half right.
Yes. Its plans page lists a Free tier described as core features for small business shipping, with no credit card required, checked at easyship.com/plans on 2026-07-28. Paid tiers named Plus, Premier, Scale and Enterprise sit above it.
To Canada, the UK, Germany and Australia, yes: checkout sells those lanes with live carrier rates and the customs declaration completed before payment. Every other cross-border request is routed to a review path for contents, restrictions and customs details, and no other international label is sold through the calculator.
For a 12 x 10 x 6 in carton at 5 lb leaving Newark on 2026-07-28, the cheapest live rate was $10.37 to Hoboken and $19.14 to Seattle. Atlanta came in at $13.52 and Dallas at $15.49, all figures complete at checkout.
Because we could not read them. The price cells on their plans page did not render when we fetched it on 2026-07-28, and our rule on these pages is that any figure we publish about another company has to come off that company's own page on a named date.
