Short answer: TCGTracking is a free shipping suite built around tracked envelopes: it prints envelopes with a USPS Intelligent Mail barcode, shows the USPS scans for free, imports orders from many marketplaces and sells postage and insurance. 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 buyer addresses kept on your device. If you want envelope tracking and postage in one free account, TCGTracking fits better. If you want fast label printing that never sends your buyers' addresses anywhere, we do.

What TCGTracking does better
- A much broader free plan. Its Free plan is $0 with "no credit card required" and lists unlimited tracking, order management, all marketplace imports, envelope and label printing, API access and a card scanner (checked November 2, 2026). Our free plan is 15 labels a month.
- Tracking for stamped envelopes. "Real-time USPS Informed Visibility tracking for all your envelopes at no cost," with delivery date predictions. We don't track envelopes. (TCGplayer's own free tracked slip now covers eligible TCGplayer orders; see how it works.)
- Postage, insurance and customs in the same place. It sells USPS e-stamps and Ground Advantage labels through EasyPost, offers PIP insurance up to $50 an envelope, and makes CN22 customs forms for APO, FPO and DPO addresses. We print address labels only.
- More marketplaces. Imports from TCGplayer, Manapool, Cardsphere, eBay, Amazon and Shopify, by CSV, packing slip PDF or "direct API sync". We read order files only, and Mana Pool has no seller order file for us to read yet.
- Tools beyond shipping. A free card scanner, Manapool repricing against TCG Market and other prices, and a REST API.
What TCG Speed Shipper does better
- No account, nothing uploaded. Drop the TCGplayer export and print; the file is read in your browser, so buyer addresses stay on your device. TCGTracking's privacy policy says sender and receiver addresses and complete order information are stored for reprinting and order management.
- Print formats for any printer. 4x6 thermal labels, 8.5x11 sheets with 1 to 4 labels a page, Avery 5160 sheets and #10 envelopes on a home printer, each on the free plan. TCGTracking's home page lists "multiple envelope sizes" without naming them.
- TCGplayer's slip workflow built in. Add TCGplayer's packing slip PDF and each label is followed by its own TCGplayer slip on a thermal printer, and TCGplayer's free tracked slips print in the same run, with labels only for the orders that need one. See tracked slip or label.
- TCGplayer's tracking rules on every order. Orders are sorted by TCGplayer's tiers (over $20 recommended, over $49.99 required, over $250 signature), so you see which ones need a tracked label before you print.
- Labels that carry your brand. Premium puts your logo, a note and your store QR on the shipping label itself.
- 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?
- You want scans on stamped envelopes for every marketplace, free: TCGTracking.

- Not sure? Both have free plans. Try a real batch in each.
What we didn't check
We read TCGTracking's public home page and privacy policy only. We did not sign up, print with it or measure its speed. It has no separate pricing or FAQ page that we found; its prices are on the home page. The usage numbers on its home page are its own and we did not verify them. Its prices and features can change; check its home page before you decide.
