Short answer: TCG QuickShip is a full seller suite in one account: it sells USPS postage, scans cards, manages inventory and syncs orders and listings across marketplaces. TCG Speed Shipper does one job: it turns your order file into address labels, #10 envelopes and packing slips in your browser, with no account on the free plan and paid plans from $2.99 a month. If you need postage and multi-marketplace inventory in one place, QuickShip fits better. If you want fast, cheap labels and envelopes for TCGplayer orders, we do.

What TCG QuickShip does better
- Postage in the same place. Its home page: "Buy and print USPS postage from your desk — letters, flats and parcels — with insurance on the ones that need it." We don't sell postage.
- Many marketplaces. Standard ($10/mo) adds "One-click order sync from eBay, ManaPool & CardNexus"; Pro ($20/mo) can "Cross-list the same cards on eBay, ManaPool, CardNexus & TCGplayer" with "Live order sync". We read order files; we don't sync or list.
- Inventory and scanning. AI card scanning ("up to 500 a batch", 15 games, "Free during beta"), pricing rules and a TCGplayer upload CSV for your inventory. We don't do inventory.
- A big free allowance if you bring your own postage account. Its pricing page: "Bring your own EasyPost API keys — 3,000 free labels/month via EasyPost with zero Quick Ship fees (ManaPool & TCGplayer orders)".
- A picker with card images. "Card images, smart sorting and a running count."
What TCG Speed Shipper does better
- Price for label printing. $2.99 a month for 500 labels or $5.99 for unlimited, against $10, $20 or $40 a month for QuickShip's paid plans. (QuickShip's plans include more than labels, so this compares what a label-only seller pays.)
- No account, nothing uploaded. Drop the TCGplayer export and print; the file is read in your browser, so buyer addresses stay on your device. It keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
- Envelopes and sheets, not just 4x6. Print straight onto #10 envelopes or Avery 5160 sheets on a home printer, as well as 4x6 thermal labels.
- TCGplayer's own rules built in. Every order is sorted by TCGplayer's tracking tiers (over $20 recommended, over $49.99 required, over $250 signature), and TCGplayer's new free tracked packing slips print in the same run as your labels. See tracked slip or label.
- Labels that carry your brand. Premium puts your logo, a note and your store QR on the shipping label itself; QuickShip's pricing page lists logos and coupons on packing slips.
- Packing on your phone. Packing mode shows one order at a time to tick off, Combine merges two orders from the same buyer, and the tracking file marks the whole batch shipped on TCGplayer in one upload.
Which one should you pick?

What we didn't check
We read QuickShip's public pages only. We did not sign up, test its labels or measure its speed, and we found too little public seller feedback to say anything about reliability. Its prices and features can change; check its pricing page before you decide.
