Why Teams Switch from AfterShip
Brands outgrow AfterShip when tracking alone isn't enough:
- No email auto import — you have to manually add every tracking number from purchases
- No shipping optimization, exception prediction, or cost optimization
- No option to buy discounted labels across 100+ carriers
- Features gated behind add-on modules and higher tiers
- Built around post-purchase marketing, not shipping operations
You don't need a post-purchase marketing suite.
You need shipping, reimagined.
Feature Breakdown
Use Any Labels — Or Ours
Shipyu
Bring your own labels from any carrier and track everything in one dashboard. You can also purchase discounted labels across 100+ carriers with instant rate comparison.
AfterShip
AfterShip accepts tracking numbers from external labels but does not sell labels or offer free tracking on any shipments.
Operational Insights
Shipyu
Shipyu gives you clear operational insights with delivery trend visibility, exception monitoring, and cost reporting across carriers.
AfterShip
AfterShip provides basic delivery analytics and estimated delivery dates with less operational depth.
100+ Carrier Tracking
Shipyu
UPS, USPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon Shipping, and 100+ more in one operations-focused dashboard. Real-time status updates, inbound and outbound, with proactive alerts.
AfterShip
AfterShip supports many carriers but wraps tracking inside post-purchase marketing workflows rather than shipping operations.
Email Auto Import
Shipyu
Connect your email and Shipyu automatically pulls tracking numbers from order confirmation emails. Every marketplace purchase — eBay, StockX, GOAT, retail sites — tracked without manual entry.
AfterShip
AfterShip has no email integration. Tracking numbers must be added manually or through supported storefront integrations only.
Transparent Pricing
Shipyu
Every feature included on every paid plan. No add-on modules, no feature gating, no per-carrier charges. Labels are transparent costs.
AfterShip
Features split across separate products (Tracking, Returns, Warranty, etc.) with tiered pricing and add-on modules.
Real-Time Alerts
Pricing That Makes Sense

AfterShip splits capabilities across separate products — Tracking, Returns, Warranty, Shipping — each with its own pricing tier and add-on modules.
Shipyu starts at $14/month. No surprises.
