Overview

EasyPost provides shipping APIs that let businesses integrate parcel shipping and logistics into their own systems, enabling rate comparison, label printing, tracking, and insurance across multiple carriers from one platform. Companies connect to the API, request quotes from carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, and process labels and tracking through a single integration; pricing includes a free tier and usage-based charges, plus optional insurance and data-driven optimization tools. Unlike some competitors, EasyPost combines multi-carrier access with a straightforward API and added services, while offering a generous free tier that appeals to small businesses and scales for large enterprises. The goal is to help businesses streamline shipping, cut costs, and ensure reliable delivery through easy-to-integrate, data-informed shipping capabilities.
