The short version

  • Only ShipStation has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Deliverr the vendor's own pricing example page as captured by the Internet Archive on 2 January 2023 quoted all-inclusive fulfillment cost examples (receive, pick and pack, order handling, packaging, shipping to any US destination): a 5.6lb item at $12.04 standard or $14.22 for a Website Fast Tag shipment, and a 17lb computer monitor at $16.33 standard or $19.33 for a Website Fast Tag shipment; ShipStation pricing is banded by monthly shipment volume, so the headline rate covers only the lowest 50 shipment band
  • They diverge on capability: Deliverr covers 2-day fulfillment, ShipStation covers Multichannel order management.
