Pirate Ship alternative: keep pay-per-label.
Add the rest of the map.
Pirate Ship made USPS and UPS simple. GoatLabels keeps the no-monthly-minimum model and adds FedEx and DHL rate shopping, an international carrier network, Billy the AI label assistant, crypto-friendly wallet funding, and a real API.
Built for social-first sellers.
Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, and TikTok Shop sync to To Ship — tracking pushes back when you print. Paste an Instagram or Facebook DM and AI builds the label.
Switching is an afternoon, not a project
No monthly minimum on Free. Pay per label from your wallet.
Create a free account
No monthly minimum, no card required to look around. Your Pirate Ship muscle memory transfers instantly.
Fund your wallet
Card, Cash App Pay, Klarna, Amazon Pay, bank transfer, or crypto — then buy labels pay-as-you-go.
Ship your first label
Let Billy draft it from a pasted order, compare live rates across four carriers, and hit buy.
One tap, label in hand
Print from your phone or desktop straight to your thermal printer. Tracking syncs back to the store automatically. Refunds land in the wallet the same minute.
Everything you liked,
plus the things you emailed support about.
Pirate Ship is a genuinely good free tool for domestic USPS and UPS. Here is exactly where GoatLabels differs — no spin, no fabricated numbers.
Live all-in rate shopping
Every quote compares USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL side by side — the price you see is the price you pay.
Billy drafts the label
Paste an order, a DM, or a screenshot. Billy fills the addresses and package details so you just review and buy.
Wallet you fund your way
Top up with card, Cash App Pay, Klarna, Amazon Pay, bank transfer, or crypto — then pay per label from balance.
API when you outgrow the UI
A public REST API with webhooks, so your stack can buy labels without a human clicking through screens.
Worldwide carriers, prepaid duties
USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL — rated side-by-side in one quote. Ship internationally with duties + taxes paid at checkout, so your customer pays nothing on delivery. Most label sites still leave that bill at the door.
Billy, your personal shipping desk
A live AI assistant that actually knows your shipments. "Where's the package to Maya?" "What did I spend on UPS last week?" Billy remembers your preferences across chats and only ever sees your data — never anyone else's.
Why sellers switch
Whether you're shipping from your bedroom, a garage, or a small warehouse — same dashboard, same all-in prices, same one-tap mobile flow.
Pirate Ship switchers
Pay-per-label from your wallet. No monthly minimum — the model Pirate Ship users already trust.
International sellers
Beyond USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, the GoatLabels network reaches the carriers your overseas buyers actually recognize.
Sellers tired of retyping
Paste an order, drop a screenshot, or dictate an address. Billy — the built-in AI assistant — drafts the whole shipment: addresses, package details, and a rate-shopped service.
Shops outgrowing the UI
When your volume outgrows clicking, GoatLabels ships a public REST API with webhooks — buy labels, fetch rates, and get tracking events pushed to your stack.
What customers are saying.
"Kept the pay-per-label model, gained FedEx and DHL in the same rate screen. The switch took one afternoon."
"I came for the crypto top-ups, stayed because Billy retypes nothing. Screenshots become labels."
"International was the gap for us. Royal Mail, Canada Post, and Asendia rates in the same quote changed the math."
