There isn’t one “WooCommerce delivery date plugin” category — there are three different jobs that all get searched for with the same words. Some plugins show an automatic delivery estimate. Some let customers pick a delivery date or time slot. Some run a full scheduling system with capacity limits and carrier rules. Picking the wrong category is the most common reason people end up disappointed with whichever plugin they installed first.
This page compares QuickShipD against every major option in the space, split by what each one actually does and what it costs. We maintain a dedicated, deeper comparison against each competitor — linked below — if you want the full picture on any one of them.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between an “estimate” plugin and a “picker” plugin?
An estimate plugin calculates and shows a delivery date automatically — no customer input needed. A picker plugin adds a calendar at checkout so the customer chooses their own delivery date or time slot. They solve different problems, and a lot of plugin dissatisfaction traces back to buying the wrong category.
Is there a free WooCommerce delivery date plugin with no limits?
QuickShipD is fully free with no paid tier and no feature caps. WPC Estimated Delivery Date and Estimated delivery date per product are also free at the core, but each gates some functionality (deeper rule targeting, or unlimited holidays) behind a paid upgrade.
Which plugin should I choose if I don’t know yet what I need?
Start with QuickShipD or WPC if you just want to show shoppers an accurate delivery estimate — that covers most WooCommerce stores. Only move to a picker or scheduling plugin (Tyche, YITH) if customers specifically need to choose their own delivery date or slot.
