   9.1overall

   Print on demand marketplace that routes each product to one of 70+ independent print providers, with a catalog of 2,000+ customizable products.

   Best forSellers who want the widest product range and the option to pick the cheapest print provider per product

   Adoption data

   10 millionPrintify says more than 10 million people sell and earn with its platform, a figure the company publishes on its own pricing page.

   Printify, Pricing, Printify (2026): “Join over 10 million people selling and earning with Printify”

   Printify works as a marketplace of print providers rather than a single factory. Its pricing page lists 2,000+ products, 70+ print providers and 140+ print facilities, and a seller chooses the provider for each product, which is the main way to lower base cost. The free plan covers 5 stores per account and unlimited designs. Premium costs $39 per month, or $24.99 per month billed yearly, and adds up to 20% off all products, up to 33% off new products, 10 stores and order management through Printify Connect. Printify's own example puts a tee at an $8.77 fulfillment cost before shipping. Integrations cover Etsy, Shopify, TikTok Shop, Amazon, eBay and WooCommerce. The trade-off is consistency: two orders from different providers can differ in print quality and delivery time, so sellers should order samples from the provider they plan to use. Merchant Protection covers a reprint or refund within 30 days when an order arrives with a manufacturing error.

   Strengths

   • +Largest published catalog on this list at 2,000+ products
   • +Choice of print provider per product lets sellers compare base costs
   • +Merchant Protection covers a free reprint or refund within 30 days for manufacturing errors

   Limitations

   • −Quality and shipping times depend on which of the 70+ providers you pick
   • −Premium costs $39 per month unless billed yearly
   • −Custom API integration and a dedicated account manager are Enterprise only

   SummaryPrintify is the best choice for sellers comparing base costs because each product can be routed to one of 70+ print providers. Order samples before committing to a provider.

Printful reports 149.3 million items delivered since 2013. The catalog is about a third the size of Printify's, so sellers chasing niche product types may find gaps.

   7.7overall

   US-based print on demand fulfillment company with Lite, PRO and Enterprise plans that set product pricing by plan.

   Best forUS sellers with steady volume who want lower base costs through a flat subscription

   CustomCat ties product pricing to its plan. Its help center lists three plans: Lite is free with standard wholesale pricing, PRO costs $30 per month or $300 per year with discounted pricing and promo product pricing, and Enterprise uses custom terms with volume discounts, an SLA and API technical support. The help center prints sample prices: a T-shirt costs $9.58 on Lite and $6.90 on PRO, an 11oz mug $6.82 versus $3.75, and a 60x80 blanket $35.00 versus $28.00. CustomCat says selling 10 to 15 items a month typically covers the PRO fee, and sellers can switch between Lite and PRO at any time. Production is US-based, and integrations cover Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, an API and CSV upload. CustomCat does not publish customer or order totals on the pages we could reach, and its main site blocked our checks, so the adoption score is conservative.

   Strengths

   • +PRO price example: T-shirt $6.90 versus $9.58 on Lite
   • +CustomCat says 10 to 15 items a month typically cover the PRO cost
   • +Switch between Lite and PRO at any time

   • −No published seller or order count

   Best forArtists and photographers selling prints and wall art

The homepage lists 250+ products, with orders placed through a Shopify app, Etsy and other integrations, a print API, a CSV bulk importer or a manual order form. The Core account is free forever and includes 50% off the first sample order, branded packing slips, free 3D mockups and email and live chat support. Prodigi Pro adds 15% off products, 10% off apparel, 75% savings on custom packaging inserts and a dedicated account manager, but the page we fetched listed its price in GBP, so we mark the USD price as pending. Prodigi has offices and labs in the UK, the US and the Netherlands and over 100 staff. It is a narrower choice for apparel-led brands than Printful or Printify.

   Strengths

   • +Deep range of art papers, canvas, framed and metal prints
   • +Complimentary branded packing slips on the free plan
   • +Offices and labs across the UK, US and Europe

   Limitations

   Best forClothing brands that want sewn-in labels and retail-style finishing

   Apliiq is a Los Angeles apparel maker that markets itself as brand-first print on demand. Alongside front, back and sleeve printing, it offers woven labels, private label neck prints and patches, which most print on demand services do not.

A free account covers print on demand; the VIP membership saves 20% on dropship orders and an Unlimited Digitization membership removes embroidery digitization fees, but neither price appears on public pages, so we mark pricing as pending.

   • +No minimums on print on demand orders
   • +Bulk buying and warehousing available as a brand grows

   Limitations
