iPacky | Pick, Pack & Fulfill and PostCo Returns & Exchanges are both highly-rated Shopify apps (5/5), but they address entirely different aspects of the shipping category. iPacky focuses on optimizing the fulfillment process *before* shipping, aiming to reduce packing errors and improve efficiency within the warehouse or fulfillment center. It targets merchants struggling with order accuracy and seeking to streamline their pick, pack, and fulfill operations using features like barcode scanning, bin location-based picking, and detailed reporting. PostCo Returns & Exchanges, on the other hand, is not described so the only valid assumption is it's about streamlining the *returns* and *exchanges* process post-shipment. Since the app description is missing, a detailed comparison is impossible, however it is clear that PostCo targets merchants focused on improving customer satisfaction and operational efficiency *related* to processing returns and exchanges. The difference between the apps is that iPacky optimizes the outbound shipping process, while PostCo (presumably) optimizes the inbound returns/exchanges process.

These apps serve very different needs. iPacky | Pick, Pack & Fulfill is the clear choice for merchants grappling with inefficient or error-prone fulfillment processes. If you're experiencing issues with order accuracy, shipping the wrong items, or slow packing times, iPacky's barcode scanning, picking optimization, and reporting features can provide significant value. If you're having issues with Returns and Exchanges or want to streamline that process, PostCo is a better fit. If you need both efficient outbound and returns/exchanges, you will need BOTH apps.
Based on the description, iPacky's primary focus is on the *outbound* fulfillment process – picking, packing, and shipping. It is unlikely it includes functionality for handling returns. That is most likely handled by PostCo.
Based on the information provided, PostCo focuses on *returns and exchanges*. If you need to improve order accuracy before shipping then iPacky is your app.
iPacky claims to have an "easy setup". There is no information provided on the set up of PostCo. Based on the lack of an app description, it is not possible to know.
iPacky explicitly mentions multi-user support in its description. No information about PostCo multi-user is present.
Neither app is universally 'better'. The choice depends entirely on the merchant's specific pain points. If fulfillment efficiency is the primary concern, iPacky is the better investment. If streamlining returns and exchanges is the primary concern, PostCo is the better investment. If both are a concern, then you need BOTH.
