Checklist

8 questions before you decide.

Under each question you'll find PostConnect's answer. Simply put other apps' answers next to it.

  1. 1

    Can I try the app for free?

    A free plan without an expiry date shows you in real day-to-day work whether the workflow fits – not just during a short trial.

    PostConnect: Free plan with 10 labels per month, plus a test mode with Austrian Post test credentials.
  2. 2

    Do the included labels match my volume?

    Calculate with your typical month and your busiest one. What matters is the price of a label beyond the quota and whether there is a cost cap.

    PostConnect: 100, 300 or 1,000 labels included. Extra labels cost approx. €0.16 to €0.10, with a monthly cost cap.
  3. 3

    Does the app print directly to my thermal printer?

    Direct printing without a PDF detour saves a few clicks per parcel – noticeable when you ship many parcels a day.

    PostConnect: Thermal printer support from Startup, e.g. Zebra, DYMO and Brother. Laser printing on A4/A5 works on every plan.
  4. 4

    Can I create many labels at once?

    If you ship many orders every day, you want to select them and process them in one run rather than one by one.

    PostConnect: Batch processing of up to 10 labels (Startup) or 50 labels (Growth) per run.
  5. 5

    Are returns and day-end closing included?

    Return labels and the daily closing for Austrian Post are part of everyday shipping – without them you're back in the Post portal.

    PostConnect: Return labels and day-end closing from the Startup plan.
  6. 6

    Does tracking run automatically?

    Automatic status updates save you from checking – and your customers from asking.

    PostConnect: Automatic tracking every 4 hours (Startup) or every 2 hours (Growth); customer notifications and a branded tracking page from Growth.
  7. 7

    Does shipping outside the EU work?

    For Switzerland or the UK you need customs documents. The more the app creates itself, the less manual work.

    PostConnect: Automatic customs documents (CN22/CN23) on the Advanced plan.
  8. 8

    Does the app help with “Where is my parcel?” enquiries?

    These emails take a lot of customer service time, although the answer is usually in the tracking.

    PostConnect: Optional AI Mail assistant that answers such enquiries with order and tracking data.

Plan details and prices are on the pricing page.
