What EasyPost does

EasyPost (legal entity Simpler Postage) is a US-based shipping technology platform, founded in 2012 and headquartered in San Francisco, that provides developers and businesses with a unified RESTful API for multi-carrier shipping. Through a single integration, customers access rate shopping, label generation, CASS-certified address verification, real-time tracking, and shipping insurance across 100+ domestic and international carriers including USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon Shipping. The platform is sold both through a self-service, free-tier developer signup and through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting large retailers, ecommerce brands, 3PLs, healthcare and pharmacy shippers, and white-label platform partners.

The core offering, EasyPost Suite, bundles the Shipping API, Address Verification API, Tracking API, Shipping Insurance API, and EasyPost Wallet—latter providing instant access to pre-negotiated carrier discounts of up to 83% off retail rates without volume minimums. Layered on top is EasyPost's AI platform, Luma AI, with Insights, Advisor, Select, and Supply Chain modules trained on the company's proprietary dataset of billions of shipments, supporting predictive analytics, automated carrier selection, anomaly detection, and a shipping-native LLM. Adjacent product lines include Advanced Tracking and EasyPost Track for post-purchase experiences, EasyPost Guard for insurance and USPS/FedEx claims automation, EasyPost Forge for white-label partner embedding with FlexRate, and GlobalShip as a higher-performance tier for fast-growing businesses.

EasyPost earns revenue primarily through transaction fees on labels and on the spread between negotiated and retail carrier rates, augmented by recurring fees for insurance, subscription-based Enterprise plans, and platform licensing through Forge (including self-managed billing for partner sub-accounts). The company has cumulatively raised approximately $88.7M in disclosed venture funding, including a 2021 growth round led by Eastward Capital Partners with Initialized Capital, Marbruck, Maropost Ventures, and Toy Ventures. It serves 10,000+ shippers globally, with named enterprise customers spanning Walmart, Nestle, Dell, The Home Depot, eBay, Johnson & Johnson, Starbucks, Carhartt, Warby Parker, Procter & Gamble, Poshmark, Roche, Mayo Clinic, CVS Pharmacy, and Costco, and operates through a distribution network that includes Shopify, NetSuite, Salesforce, Manhattan Associates, Körber, Google Cloud, and Maersk.

Revenue model

1. Shipping API Transaction Fees: EasyPost charges transaction fees when customers purchase shipping labels through the platform. Customers access discounted carrier rates and pay per transaction for label generation, tracking, and insurance services.
2. Pre-negotiated Carrier Rate Access: EasyPost provides access to pre-negotiated discounted carrier rates (up to 83% off retail) through EasyPost Wallet Carriers, charging customers the difference between negotiated rates and retail rates on each shipment.
3. Shipping Insurance: Flat 1% rate on declared product value for shipping insurance coverage across any carrier, generating revenue on the spread between the flat rate and actual claims cost.
4. Forge White-Label Platform: Platform licensing and sub-account management fees for partners embedding EasyPost shipping capabilities, including FlexRate adjustments and consolidated billing features.
5. USPS Claims Automation: Automated claims filing service for USPS shipments, recovering funds from built-in carrier insurance and facilitating refunds to customer accounts.

Direct peers

• Ordoro: Ordoro provides shipping, inventory, and dropshipping software for SMB ecommerce brands. It competes in label generation and multi-carrier rate shopping, and is also listed as an EasyPost integration partner — a common dynamic in shipping software ecosystems.
• Shippo: Shippo is a direct competitor offering multi-carrier shipping APIs and discounted USPS/UPS rates for SMBs and developers. It targets the same rate-shopping and label-generation use case as EasyPost's Suite product and competes head-to-head in the developer-first segment.
• ShipStation (Auctane): ShipStation is a leading multi-carrier shipping management platform for ecommerce shippers, offering label generation, rate shopping, and automation. It is EasyPost's closest direct competitor at the SMB/mid-market layer, though ShipStation is more UI-led versus EasyPost's API-first approach.
• Pirate Ship: Pirate Ship offers pre-negotiated USPS and UPS discounts with no monthly fees, directly competing with EasyPost Wallet for SMBs seeking low-cost label printing. It is also an EasyPost integration partner, illustrating the overlap between competitor and channel partner.
• AfterShip: AfterShip is a post-purchase shipment tracking and returns platform used by major ecommerce brands. It overlaps directly with EasyPost Track / Advanced Tracking, competing for branded tracking pages, notifications, and analytics spend.

Broad incumbents

• Flexport: Flexport is a tech-enabled global freight forwarder and logistics platform. While primarily focused on international freight forwarding versus EasyPost's small-parcel focus, both compete to digitize shipping operations for enterprise supply-chain teams.
• Shopify (Shopify Shipping): Shopify Shipping is an embedded shipping solution within Shopify's commerce platform, offering pre-negotiated carrier rates to merchants. While Shopify is an EasyPost integration partner, Shopify Shipping competes for the same merchant wallet and reduces EasyPost's leverage on Shopify-hosted merchants.
• FedEx Developer Portal: FedEx, UPS, and USPS each operate direct shipping APIs (FedEx Developer Portal, UPS Developer Portal, USPS Web Tools) that compete with EasyPost at the enterprise direct-integration layer. EasyPost's value proposition of one integration across 100+ carriers is positioned directly against these direct carrier APIs.
• Stamps.com (Auctane): Stamps.com is a USPS-focused shipping and mailing platform under Auctane, with broader small-business mailing workflows than EasyPost. It competes on USPS label generation and discounted rates, sitting in EasyPost's core USPS Wallet lane.

Regional players

• ShipBob: ShipBob is a global fulfillment and 3PL network for DTC brands and an EasyPost integration partner. It competes where EasyPost's fulfillment/3PL customers aggregate shipping volume, though ShipBob owns the warehouse layer while EasyPost owns the API layer.
