Aftership vs Pixela

AfterShip's Tracking API aggregates delivery status from couriers worldwide behind a single as-api-key header, letting merchants create trackings, poll shipment checkpoints, and register webhooks instead of integrating each carrier separately. A free plan covers low-volume testing, with metered paid tiers billed as tracked-shipment volume grows.

Pixela is a single-developer, open-source habit- and effort-tracking service: every action goes through its REST API, turning daily counts, weight logs, or commit streaks into a GitHub-contribution-style graph. Callers register with a self-chosen token via `/v1/users`, then post daily values that render back as an embeddable SVG graph or badge — no dashboard beyond the API itself. Nearly every feature is free; a handful of extras (logo placement, priority support) are reserved for Patreon backers.
