Frequently asked questions

How does billing work?

We bill monthly based on your usage. First 100 labels are always free. After that, you pay per label at your volume tier. No upfront costs or commitments.

What counts as a label?

Each successful API call to the /zeeplify endpoint counts as one label, regardless of the label size or complexity.

How did you calculate the $22,000-$46,000 in-house cost?

Based on 124-256 hours initial development + 60-120 hours/year maintenance at $75/hour loaded developer cost over 3 years. See our detailed analysis in the documentation.

Why is Zeepler cheaper than Shippo/EasyPost?

They're shipping APIs with carrier integrations, tracking, and rates. We're focused on one thing: converting JSON to ZPL. Less complexity = lower cost.
