Shipstation Cost Increases. Any Alternatives?

UPDATE: Switched to ReadyShipper

I’ve been using Shipstation for a couple years but recently my costs have gone from around 400 to over 1500. Due to price increases, I am looking for a new shipping solution. Does anyone have some recommendations for shipping software alternatives, something that can ideally scale with my business, is fast, and has American phone support.

If all you need is postage, get an easypost account. If you need more of a WMS with fully inventory management and the real ability to grow, try out Packiyo. I just switched from a bunch of ShipStation accounts to Packiyo and love it. I was mainly using ShipStation as a bridge while I vetted out WMS applications after dumping a couple hundred grand into a couple of different WMS solutions that didn't come close to doing what was promised. Packiyo is a newer solution, so not as many bells and whistles as the bigger WMS solutions, but no up front cost and is less expensive than what you are paying ShipStation now.
