EasyPost connects developers to 100+ shipping carriers via one API for rates, labels, and tracking. Compare its free and paid shipping plans.
EasyPost is a shipping logistics API founded in 2012 in Lehi, Utah by Jarrett Streebin, built around the idea of giving any online retailer Amazon-level shipping capability through a single RESTful integration. Instead of connecting separately to each carrier's own system, developers integrate once with EasyPost and gain access to more than 100 carriers worldwide.
The company has grown into a broader shipping intelligence platform used by companies ranging from small merchants to large enterprises like Walmart, Dell, and eBay, adding tracking, insurance, address verification, and AI-assisted shipping optimization on top of its original core rating and label API.
EasyPost's core Shipping API lets developers compare rates and generate labels across 100+ carriers from one integration, with add-on APIs for address verification and real-time tracking. Shipping insurance and claims management are built into the platform, reducing the need for separate insurance providers.
The platform also includes Luma, an AI assistant that recommends carrier and rate choices to optimize for cost or delivery speed, EasyPost Forge for building white-label shipping experiences, and EasyPost GlobalShip for handling the complexities of international shipments, alongside no-code label creation tools for non-developer users.
EasyPost's free Developer plan covers small to mid-sized businesses shipping up to 120,000 shipments per year with no monthly fee, making it accessible to growing merchants without upfront cost. This plan includes core rate comparison, label generation, and tracking functionality.
