The apps, one by one

1. CWILL (ParcelPanel)

Easy pick8/8 checks passed
At 2,000 orders
$59/mo

Most stores that want a cheap branded tracking page with shipping notifications should start here: it costs $16 a month at 300 orders and $59 at 2,0001,2. The catch is that notifications need a paid plan, CSV export and the API start at Professional, and recent reviews from merchants moved over from TrackingMore report a bumpy switch1,6.

Fails: nothing. Full review

2. AfterShip

Good, with caveats6/8 checks passed
At 2,000 orders
$109/mo

Stores shipping up to 5,000 orders a month that want a branded tracking page with email and SMS updates should install it; Essentials covers 300 orders for $23 a month2. The catch is the bill: every shipment counts toward a quota, CSV export needs Premium, and above 5,000 shipments a month every plan is priced by quote2,4.

Fails: prices public at every size, rated 4.7 or higher. Full review

3. ShipStation

Read the fine print4/8 checks passed
At 2,000 orders
$119.99/mo

Stores that pack and ship their own orders, especially across several sales channels and carriers, should try it; Starter covers 300 orders for $39.99 a month2. The catch is that the price climbs with every shipment tier, Starter stops at 5,000 shipments, and recent reviews report connection and sync problems1,2.

Fails: built for shopify, rated 4.7 or higher, works with shopify flow, security report named. Full review
