Stamps.com vs. Pitney Bowes
Pitney Bowes offers postage meters for high-volume senders, but users say maintaining a postage meter is expensive and time-consuming when sending from multiple locations. Stamps.com is a more affordable and comprehensive option for high-volume sending that doesn’t require expensive equipment.
Send IMI compliant with Stamps.com
USPS®’s software upgrade to Intelligent Mail Indicia (IMI) began over the summer of 2024, and if you didn’t take your Pitney Bowes postage meter in for an update, it stopped working on January 1, 2025. The good news? Stamps.com users don’t have to worry about IMI compliance because you’ll already be migrated to IMI before the deadline, meaning no interruptions to your business and workflow.

Save everywhere you send
Pitney Bowes requires a postage meter, and with the cost of leasing a postage meter every year and the cost of learning, troubleshooting, and updating hardware, you might not be saving as much as you think. With Stamps.com, you can get full visibility into how much you send across locations, allow multiple people to log in and print at the same time, and access discounted rates across more carriers with a team of shipping experts on your side.
