The post's 'over 4 million businesses' figure is not reliably supported. One unrated 2026 pricing page says Stamps.com 'serves more than 4 million customers,' but the company's own testimonials page cites nearly 732,000 customers (2025), and a 2026 partner listing cites over 750,000.

An ad makes this claim. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Contradicts. Stamps.com's own customer testimonials page (published 2025-10-21) says it has nearly 732,000 satisfied customers, far below the claimed figure of over 4 million.[6]

Contradicts. A 2026 partner listing says Stamps.com serves over 750,000 customers, also well below 4 million.[7]

Supports. A 2026 pricing page says Stamps.com has been in business 28 years and serves more than 4 million customers, but this unrated source appears to echo the company's marketing rather than an independent record.[8]

Context. The company's SEC 10-K filing lists 4.5 million small businesses with 1 to 9 employees as addressable targets. This describes market opportunity, not businesses that have used the service, so it neither confirms nor refutes the claim.[5]

Context. Fact-checkers in the provided set (Full Fact, PolitiFact, Snopes, Reuters) do not address Stamps.com customer counts.[1][2][3][4]
