How each price is calculated
- Zippendo: the cheapest plan at the volume - plan price plus per-label overage beyond the included shipments.
- Sendcloud: Cheapest plan at the volume, where every label is billed on top of the subscription (Lite €28 + €0.10/label up to Pro €639 + €0.07/label), with published overage rates beyond each plan's cap.
The plan price is the price
Zippendo Standard is €79 a month with 2,500 shipments in it, Growth €159 with 7,500, Pro €239 with 15,000. Past the included volume it is €0.02 to €0.04 a shipment. There is no second meter.
Sendcloud bills a monthly plan and then a fee on each label on top, from €0.10 down to €0.07 as you move up the plans, with an annual label ceiling on each tier. A shop sending 2,500 a month clears the Growth plan's 12,000-a-year ceiling, so it sits on Premium: €175 a month plus €200 of label fees - €375 all told.
Your own agreements from the first day
Zippendo is built on the assumption that the rates are yours. You add your PostNord, GLS, DAO, Bring or DHL Express account with your own credentials, you settle freight with the carrier, and we never sit in the middle of that transaction - on any plan, including the free one.
Sendcloud's free tier ships on Sendcloud's own rates; using your own carrier contracts starts on their Lite plan.
The Nordics are the home market, not a region
DAO, PostNord, GLS, Bring, Budbee, Instabox, Porterbuddy and Matkahuolto are integrated here as first-class carriers, with service points at checkout, live tracking on every shipment and the customs documents a cross-border shipment needs returned alongside the label. When a carrier changes something, keeping your labels printing is our job, not yours.
Sendcloud's home market is the Netherlands and its network is built out broadly across Western Europe.
An API in the language you already write
Free client libraries for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Go, Ruby, Java and C#. Plus an MCP server, so an AI agent can send a shipment or chase a tracking number for you.
Sendcloud publishes a REST API.
Where Zippendo is the better fit
You fit us if you already have your own carrier agreements, or intend to. Zippendo never sits between you and the carrier: you add your PostNord, GLS, DAO, Bring or DHL Express account with your own credentials and settle the freight directly, on every plan including the free one. Sendcloud's free tier ships on Sendcloud's own rates, and your own contracts start on their Lite plan. You fit us if you send enough that a per-label fee stops being rounding. At 2,500 shipments a month, Sendcloud's own ceilings put you on Premium - €175 plus €200 of label fees, €375 in total. Our Standard plan is €79 with those 2,500 shipments in it and no second meter. And you fit us if your volume is Nordic. DAO, PostNord, GLS, Bring, Budbee, Instabox, Porterbuddy and Matkahuolto are first-class here, with service points at checkout and the customs documents a cross-border shipment needs returned alongside the label. When a carrier changes something, keeping your labels printing is our job, not yours.
FAQ
Questions about switching
Yes. Zippendo does not resell freight, so you bring your own accounts with PostNord, GLS, DAO, Bring, DHL Express and the rest, and you keep settling the freight bill with them. If you do not have agreements yet, most Nordic carriers will set one up for a shop doing real volume, and we can point you at the right people.
No. The plan includes the shipments - 2,500 on Standard, 7,500 on Growth, 15,000 on Pro - and past that it is €0.02 to €0.04 a shipment. Creating a label costs nothing extra, and neither does connecting a carrier within your plan.
Standard connects one, Growth two and Pro five, and extra order channels are a paid add-on on any of them. If you run several webshops, tell us how many and we will tell you honestly which plan lands cheapest.
Tracking keeps running through Zippendo, and every shipment gets a tracking timeline. On every plan, tracking events flow into Klaviyo, Mailchimp, SendGrid, Customer.io or your own system, so your tracking emails go out in your own brand from the tools you already use.
