USPS® Click-N-Ship® and Stamps.com both allow you to print USPS shipping labels online. While Click-N-Ship makes it easy to print one-time labels at USPS rates, Stamps.com is intelligence mailing and shipping software that gives you access to discounted rates in order to print shipping labels, stamps, Certified Mail® and more from a single platform. Understand the differences so you can choose the best option based on how often you send and how much you need to save.
SAVING CUSTOMERS TIME AND MONEY EVERY DAY
Get the essentials you need to move packages quickly—easy label creation, reliable tracking, and at-home convenience—so you can focus on what matters most.
Stamps.com supports more USPS® mail classes than Click-N-Ship, including Ground Advantage® and Media Mail®, while also letting you print First Class Mail for everyday stamps and Certified Mail®. One platform handles both mailing and shipping without switching tools.
Instead of printing one-off labels, Stamps.com lets you batch print USPS shipping labels, save addresses, and reuse shipment details. Built in automation reduces manual steps and speeds up repeat shipping and mailing tasks.
Stamps.com is designed for businesses that rely on mailing and shipping to provide client services. With tools like integrated scales, contact management, centralized tracking, and analytics, it delivers efficiency and control as volume grows.
Click-N-Ship is ideal when you need to print a single USPS shipping label and schedule a USPS® Carrier Pickup without visiting the Post Office. It allows users to create shipping labels for services such as Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, Priority Mail International®, Priority Mail Express International®, and Global Express Guaranteed®, and includes USPS Tracking® on eligible shipments. Click-N-Ship does not support all USPS mail classes, including First Class Mail® or certain special services, and requires manual entry for each shipment.
Stamps.com is a USPS-approved licensed partner that gives customers access to nearly all USPS mail and shipping classes. Like Click-N-Ship, you can print official USPS shipping labels from your home or office using a standard printer. Unlike Click-N-Ship, Stamps.com gives you access to nearly all USPS mail classes and shipping services, at discounts you can’t in person or with a business account. Mailing and shipping is easy because you can print one or multiple labels in minutes, save contacts to your address book, schedule package pickups, and track everything you send from a single dashboard.
USPS® Click-N-Ship® focuses primarily on package shipping. Stamps.com supports both shipping and mailing.
With Stamps.com, you can print postage for letters, envelopes, flats, and packages from one system. This makes it well-suited for businesses that send invoices, legal documents, statements, marketing mail, and packages on a regular basis.
Professional services such as law firms, accounting firms, insurance agencies, and real estate offices benefit from managing all USPS® mailing and shipping needs in one place.
A key difference between USPS® Click-N-Ship® and Stamps.com is automation.
Click-N-Ship® requires each shipping label to be created individually. Stamps.com supports batch printing of USPS® shipping labels, which helps businesses process multiple shipments faster and with fewer steps.
These efficiencies make Stamps.com especially valuable for businesses that ship or mail frequently.
Both USPS® Click-N-Ship® and Stamps.com include USPS Tracking® on eligible services and allow users to schedule USPS® Carrier Pickup so shipments can be collected during regular mail delivery.
Stamps.com enhances visibility by automatically saving tracking numbers, storing shipment history, and providing reporting tools that help businesses understand mailing and shipping activity over time.
This added organization and visibility supports smoother operations as shipping volume increases.
Stamps.com supports Priority Mail®, Priority Mail Express®, USPS Ground Advantage®, Media Mail®, Certified Mail™, and includes USPS Tracking® across supported services. It also allows you to print stamps for everyday mail, making it a single solution for both mailing and shipping.
Stamps.com goes beyond USPS® by supporting multiple shipping carriers in one platform. You can manage USPS®, UPS, FedEx, and DHL shipments side by side, compare rates, and choose the best option for every package without changing systems.
If you only need to print a USPS® shipping label occasionally and prefer a simple, manual process, USPS® Click-N-Ship® is great for you. If you want to access carrier discounts and print stamps, labels, and even Certified Mail® in a way that saves you time, Stamps.com offers a more comprehensive and scalable solution.
USPS® Click-N-Ship® is designed for one time label creation, while Stamps.com is shipping and mailing software that offers more mail classes, automation, and other benefits like mailing and shipping analytics.
Click-N-Ship® is primarily focused on package shipping. Stamps.com supports both mailing and shipping.
No. Our negotiated carrier discounts ensure you pay less for First Class Mail® stamps and get up 88% off shipping services from USPS, UPS, and other top carriers. These are discounts you will not find at the Post Office as they are reserved for high volume enterprises. Check stamps.com/carriers for latest on carriers and rates.
