EasyPost
Multi-carrier shipping API and AI logistics platform that cuts parcel costs and automates delivery.
By EasyPost · 4.4/5 verified-buyer score
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- High-volume ecommerce and DTC shippers that want discounted multi-carrier rates without renegotiating each carrier contract
- Platforms, 3PLs and WMS vendors embedding shipping, tracking and insurance into their own product via one REST API
- Teams replacing manual label creation with no-code label printing plus API automation
- Operations that need address verification, tracking, insurance and claims across 100+ carriers in one workflow
- Shippers wanting AI-driven cost and delivery-date estimates (Luma AI) layered on their shipping data
Ideal size: 10–1,000+ people · Scale-up or enterprise with developer resources and meaningful parcel volume
Not for
- Shippers with a single dominant carrier contract and no need for multi-carrier rate shopping
- Very low-volume shippers sending a handful of parcels a month with no automation requirement
- Buyers seeking a full order management, ERP or WMS suite rather than a shipping API layer
- Enterprises that require published, self-serve pricing for high-volume tiers instead of custom quotes

AI features shipped
Luma AI is marketed as a 2026 shipping AI layer: a savings estimator that finds overpayment, AI-powered estimates for cost and delivery date, and Luma AI Supply Chain for real-time visibility and decisions. Sources do not describe the underlying models, data controls or logging, so governance details are unverified.

Bottom line
EasyPost is a shipping API and logistics platform: one REST API and no-code tools across 100+ carriers for labels, rate shopping, address verification, tracking, insurance and claims, plus Luma AI for savings estimates and delivery predictions. Pricing is usage-based — free access for up to 3,000 Wallet-carrier labels, $20/month to bring your own carrier accounts plus per-label fees, and custom enterprise pricing. The vendor cites rates up to 88% off retail and customer integrations in about two weeks.
Frequently asked questions
How does EasyPost charge for shipping?
Pricing is usage-based. Wallet carriers are free for up to 3,000 labels (postage not included), with a per-label fee beyond that. Bringing your own carrier accounts (BYOCA) costs $20 per month plus a per-label fee. Enterprise volume is custom-quoted. Tracking runs $0.01–$0.03 per shipment ($0.03 for advanced branded tracking), and insurance is 1% of shipment value with a $1.00 minimum.
How long does it take to go live?
EasyPost is API-first with client libraries and a no-code label option, so a basic integration is typically days rather than months; the vendor publishes a customer story citing a two-week integration and another customer noting it was quick to implement. Larger platform embeds with tracking, insurance or white-label branding take longer.
Which carriers are supported?
EasyPost documents access to 100+ carriers, domestic and international, through one API, plus Wallet carriers such as GOFO and Veho that can be enabled without signing a separate contract. Coverage includes labels, rate shopping, address verification, tracking, insurance and claims across those carriers.
What AI does EasyPost actually offer?
The vendor markets Luma AI as an AI layer for shipping: a savings estimator that identifies overpayment, AI-powered estimates for cost and delivery date, and Luma AI Supply Chain for real-time visibility and decisions. The sources reviewed do not disclose the models used, data handling or AI audit logging.
What does EasyPost not do well?
It is a shipping layer, not an ERP, WMS or order-management suite, so teams expecting end-to-end commerce operations will need other tools. Very low-volume shippers get limited benefit, and enterprises needing published high-volume pricing must go through sales for a custom quote.
