Switching guide
If you're comparing ShipHero alternatives, this is the honest version of our pitch: what each system is built around, what actually changes when a 3PL moves to Teamship, and how migration really works.
Brands like Fujifilm, Garland Commercial Ranges, and DRiV are fulfilled through Teamship every day.
Nobody researches a ShipHero alternative because everything is fine. When operators running ShipHero reach us, the conversation usually starts in one of three places: the bill grows every time they add a picker or a shift; their client mix has grown past D2C parcels into wholesale, retail or regulated goods; or they want to know their real all-in cost without another quote cycle. If any of that sounds familiar, here's what changes.
Teamship's pricing is published on our website: $400, $500, $925 or $1,740 per month, with unlimited users and unlimited clients on every plan. Adding seasonal staff, a second shift or a new client doesn't change the bill. ShipHero quotes privately; third-party buyer guides report its 3PL plan at roughly $2,145 to $2,295 per month with 5 seats, about $150 per extra seat and an order minimum. For a 3PL with 15 people on the floor, that seat math alone is worth checking against your last invoice. Our 3PL WMS pricing guide lays out every number we could verify.
ShipHero's floor workflows run through its own mobile app and a desktop print app. Teamship runs in a browser on any phone or tablet, Android or iOS. There's nothing to install, update or troubleshoot per device, so a seasonal hire can be scanning on a cheap Android phone the afternoon they start. Across a team, that's frequently a bigger saving than the software itself.
ShipHero is built around ecommerce fulfilment. Teamship is built around the 3PL business itself: high-volume D2C parcels alongside pallet-in pallet-out wholesale, retail routing, lot and expiry tracking with FEFO for food and regulated goods, storage billing any way you charge for space, and automated per-client billing across all of it. When a prospect walks in with an order profile unlike your current clients, you shouldn't have to wonder whether your WMS can take the business.
Teamship covers the 3PL core: client portals, receiving, putaway, barcode-verified picking with batch and wave support, packing, shipping with live rate shopping, inventory counts, and 300+ integrations. And it adds:
This is the part that keeps 3PLs with us, and it's the hardest part for any platform to copy:
When something's wrong at 9am, you talk to someone who knows your operation and cares whether you hit your shipping cutoff. 3PLs live and die on fast action; so does our support.
Need a report customized or a workflow tweaked to match a client contract? We build it. If the change makes Teamship better for the whole community, there's often no charge at all. Otherwise it's a transparent hourly rate, quoted up front.
We aim to build every feature correctly the first time, so most operations run on Teamship as it ships. And when a genuine operational need comes up, the platform is designed so enhancements can be added cleanly, not bolted on.
Issues get worked quickly, fixes ship fast, and you're never left explaining to a client why your software vendor hasn't gotten back to you.
You already know what running your current system costs and feels like. The fastest way to evaluate a switch is to pull your real numbers and set them beside our answers:
| What to compare | Teamship's answer | Check it against what you have today |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | Published flat pricing from $400/mo. Unlimited users and clients on every plan. | Pull your last invoice and add every line: base plan, extra seats, order minimums, add-ons, onboarding. |
| Users | Unlimited. Peak season and new shifts cost nothing extra. | Count everyone who logs in during your busiest month, then price each seat above your plan's limit. |
| Devices | Any phone or tablet, Android or iOS, in a browser. Nothing to install. | List what each new scanning device costs you to buy, set up and keep on the right app version. |
| Order profile coverage | B2B, D2C, retail and regulated goods in one warehouse, per-client billing on all of it. | List the last three prospects you quoted. Could your current system take all three? |
| Support | A real person who knows your operation, with fast action on problems. | Think about your last urgent ticket: how many hand-offs before someone owned it? |
Every Teamship customer inherits us as a pro-bono IT WMS consultant. When you're bidding on a new client's RFP, we help you answer the technical sections. When a prospect demands an integration you don't have, we build it. When you need documentation completed or a solution designed, we're in the meeting with you, at no cost.
Your WMS vendor should help you win business, not just process it. How the partnership works.
The switch is the scary part, so here's the whole process. Our team does the heavy lifting, and most 3PLs are live in weeks:
If you're surveying every ShipHero competitor before deciding, our buyer's guide to 3PL software compares eleven systems across tier, total cost and fit, and the 3PL WMS pricing guide puts every published and reported price side by side. Also weighing others? See what Extensiv and Logiwa switchers compare.
But if what you want is one system that runs your whole book of business, published pricing that doesn't grow with your headcount, and a vendor that treats your problems as urgent, that's what Teamship was built for, and the demo will show it faster than any comparison page.
A 20-minute demo built around your clients, your billing rules and your order profile. Bring your current invoice; we'll show you the all-in comparison for your real headcount.
Request a DemoYes. Teamship runs the whole 3PL book of business on one platform: high-volume D2C parcels alongside B2B, wholesale and regulated goods, with multi-client inventory, client portals, lot and expiry tracking and automated per-client billing.

Teamship publishes flat monthly pricing from $400 per month, with unlimited users and clients on every plan. ShipHero quotes privately; third-party buyer guides report its 3PL plan at roughly $2,145 to $2,295 per month with 5 seats and about $150 per extra seat. Whatever you compare, get an all-in year-one number for your real headcount.
No. Teamship runs in a web browser on any phone or tablet, Android or iOS, so there is no app to install or update per device and no proprietary scanner to buy. Standard barcode scanners and printers are supported too.
Easier than most operators expect. Clients, SKUs, locations and inventory balances are imported from standard exports, integrations are reconnected, and most 3PLs run a short parallel period on one client before cutting over. Our team does the heavy lifting, and most operations go live in weeks.
Yes, and we recommend it. A short parallel run on one client or workflow is the lowest-risk way to switch: you keep shipping from your current system while your team validates the same work in Teamship, then cut over client by client.
