Pricing checked on the [Sendcloud pricing page](https://www.sendcloud.com/fr/tarifs/) on Oct 18, 2026. The page shows -25% for annual billing. Above the monthly quota, each label costs €0.15 more than the plan's displayed price (€0.26 on Lite, for example).

What to know:

- **Free plan**: usable with no time limit, you only pay for labels, at Sendcloud's negotiated rates. Using your own carrier contract requires a paid plan.
- **Lite**: your own carrier contract, pickup, customs documents, pickup-point map, tracking emails, SMS and WhatsApp in 2 languages.
- **Growth**: custom returns portal, tracking page with promotions, notifications in 8 languages, automatic review requests, phone support.
- **Premium and Pro**: advanced returns management, white label, analytics, then checkout delivery options and a dedicated account manager on Pro.

### Boxtal

**Boxtal** pools volumes from many businesses to negotiate lower rates with major carriers, including Mondial Relay and Chronopost. Its multi-carrier pickup service is advertised with no commitment, and shipping insurance starts at €0.85. Boxtal claims about 30,000 active clients and offers free connectors, according to its [website](https://www.boxtal.com/fr/fr). Prices depend on the parcel and destination: use the quote tool on the site. Its website doesn't name Shopify among its connectors, so check compatibility with your store before you start.

### Shippingbo

**Shippingbo** brings three modules into one platform: OMS to centralize orders from all your channels, WMS for receiving, stock and picking in the warehouse, and TMS for shipments and carriers. The vendor advertises 200+ plug-and-play integrations (CMS, marketplaces, private sales, carriers, ERP), including a [Shopify integration](https://www.shippingbo.com/en/integrations/cms-shopify/). The [pricing page](https://www.shippingbo.com/fr/tarifs/) presents packs without public amounts, a questionnaire to find the right pack, a free trial and demos.

### What about Cubyn?

**Cubyn** was often recommended for outsourcing storage, picking and shipping. Its [website](https://www.cubyn.com) now states that the company has permanently closed: leave it off your shortlist.

## How to choose

- You pack your own parcels and want to automate labels, tracking and returns: **Sendcloud**. The free plan is enough to test, Lite (400 labels a month) once you have your own carrier contract.
- You ship few parcels and don't have a carrier contract: **Boxtal**, to benefit from pooled rates with no commitment.
- You sell on your store and on marketplaces, with your own warehouse: **Shippingbo**, which handles orders, stock and transport in one place.
