iShipTo vs ScanPower
ScanPower is the cheapest FBA prep tool on the market. iShipTo is a multi-tenant WMS for operators ready to grow beyond FBA-only — DTC clients, white-label portals, real receiving.
The three things that matter when you outgrow FBA-only
Multi-tenant client portal
iShipTo
Yes
ScanPower
No
iShipTo gives each client their own white-label portal. ScanPower is single-tenant FBA tooling.
DTC fulfillment workflows
iShipTo
Yes
ScanPower
No
Your first DTC client needs pick/pack and shipping — ScanPower's FBA flow does not extend.
10-client monthly bill
iShipTo
$179/mo
ScanPower
$299/mo
iShipTo Growth flat vs ScanPower $199 + 10 × $10. ScanPower wins at 1–2 clients; iShipTo wins above.

Why operators move
Real conversations with operators outgrowing ScanPower. Same pattern: it worked great until they took on the first DTC client.
ScanPower's flow ends at the FBA shipment plan. Your first non-Amazon client needs pick/pack, address validation, carrier label generation, tracking sync — none of which ScanPower extends to cleanly. Operators tell us they kept ScanPower for FBA and bolted a second tool on for DTC, then realized they were paying for two systems doing one job badly.
Your sellers want to log in, see live inventory, request inbound appointments, and pull invoices. ScanPower is single-tenant — there is no client-facing surface. iShipTo gives each client a white-label portal on your subdomain, with their inventory, their shipments, their invoices. Clients never see iShipTo branding.
When a seller pushes back on a damage claim, you need the photo timestamped at receiving. iShipTo requires a photo upload before a damaged line can save — receipt, dock-floor proof, audit trail. ScanPower does not have damage-photo capture in its receiving flow; you defend chargebacks from memory.
ScanPower wins on price at 1–2 clients. At 3 clients you are at $229/mo; at 5 you are at $249/mo; at 10 you are at $299/mo — and you still do not have a portal or DTC. iShipTo Growth at $179 flat for up to 10 clients is the natural step the moment you cross 3.
Pricing
Both column headers are real. iShipTo publishes three flat tiers — pick one. ScanPower publishes a base plus per-client fees that scale linearly with client count.
No per-client fees. Annual prepay: 2 months free.
Base price plus a per-client surcharge that scales linearly.
+ $10/client/month
Pricing pulled from ScanPower’s public pricing page, May 2026. Annual prepay terms not published.
The crossover point: ScanPower beats iShipTo on monthly cost at 1–2 FBA-only clients. At 3+ clients, or the day you sign your first DTC seller, iShipTo wins on both price and capability.
Honest take
We’re not the right answer for every operator. If all three of these describe your business today, ScanPower is probably the cheaper fit — and we’ll tell you that on a sales call rather than waste your time:
100% of your volume goes into Amazon's network. Zero DTC, zero B2B carton picking, zero non-Amazon flows on the horizon. ScanPower's tooling is purpose-built for that single workflow and is the deepest at it.
If you are a one-person shop with two long-term recurring sellers and no plans to add more, ScanPower is cheaper at that scale ($199 + $20 = $219/mo vs iShipTo Starter $59 or Growth $179).
Your clients are happy with weekly email updates and a shared Google Sheet. They have not asked for a portal, will not ask for one, and you do not want to maintain one. ScanPower's single-tenant model fits that operator profile.
For everyone else — anyone with a DTC client on the horizon, a portal request from a seller, plans to grow past 3 clients, or a chargeback they couldn’t defend — iShipTo is the natural next step.
