MPA EDDM Tool vs USPS EDDM Online: Which Route Planner Should You Use?

When planning an Every Door Direct Mail campaign, you have two main options for selecting carrier routes: MPA's free EDDM tool or USPS EDDM Online. Both let you choose routes and calculate postage, but they serve different needs.

Here's a direct comparison to help you decide which tool is right for your campaign.

Time test: We timed both tools starting from a fresh browser. MPA: ZIP code entered and routes visible in 8 seconds. USPS: Account creation plus login took 2 minutes 47 seconds before seeing any routes. If you value speed, the difference is significant.
