Best for / Not for
Best for
SMB to enterprise ecommerce brands shipping at scale, multi-carrier/cross-border merchants wanting branded tracking plus returns in one stack.
Not for
Very low-volume stores with one carrier (native carrier tracking suffices); merchants wanting just a basic returns flow (cheaper single-purpose apps); brands on lowest plans needing enterprise-only features such as custom tracking domains.
