Shiprocket

Shiprocket is the largest and most widely used aggregator in India. It publishes four plans: Lite (free, average shipment cost ₹45), Business (₹199/month, ₹41), Advanced (₹499/month, ₹39) and Pro (₹799/month, ₹36). It also owns Pickrr, which it acquired in 2022. Its strengths are a wide courier panel and strong integrations; the most common seller complaints are weight disputes and the COD remittance cycle on lower plans.

NimbusPost

NimbusPost charges no platform fee and publishes per-500g starting rates by tier, from roughly ₹19 to ₹25.50 in August 2026. Independent reviews describe it as frequently cheaper than Shiprocket on base rates, with a smaller support team.

iThink Logistics

iThink Logistics works on custom rate cards, with third-party estimates around ₹24–38 per 500g. It is often recommended for sellers with a high share of COD orders because of its focus on remittance speed.

Shipyaari

Shipyaari lists subscription plans from ₹299 per month, with shipping from ₹28 per 500g. It suits smaller D2C brands that want a simple dashboard and multiple courier partners.

Shipway

Shipway positions itself as courier management software rather than a pure rate aggregator, with 20+ couriers and automated courier allocation and NDR follow-up. It is aimed at brands whose main problem is RTO and failed deliveries.

ShipPilot

ShipPilot issues custom rate cards built around your volume and lane mix, starting from ₹18 to ₹27 per 500g on domestic shipments, and also fetches live quotes from multiple courier partners at booking time so you can compare before you book. The same account handles domestic B2C, B2B freight and international export with KYC, plus one-click NDR actions, returns, and weight disputes where nothing is deducted until a real courier charge exists.

Headline rate vs real cost

A low 'starting from' rate rarely matches your invoice. Your real cost depends on your zone mix, COD fees (commonly ₹25–40 or 1.5–2.5% of order value, whichever is higher), weight disputes and RTO. The best way to choose is to run the same 50–100 orders through two platforms for a month and compare the total landed cost.
