what each tool costs once real volume arrives.
with sources, and with the parts we lose.
Most web-to-print and product-personalization tools charge you twice: a monthly subscription for access, and then a cut of each sale or a fee on each personalized item. The subscription is the number on the pricing page. The second charge is the one that decides what you actually pay, because it scales with the thing you are working to grow.
Print.App does not have the second charge. There is no commission, no percentage of revenue and no per-order fee. You pay $0.10 when you download a print file, after 100 free each month. That is a charge for work performed, and it is the same whether the job was worth $12 or $1,200.
Published plans, side by side.
| Subscription | Per-order / per-item fee | Product limit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zakeke | $69.90 to $299.90 per month | 1.5% to 1.9% of every sale made through Zakeke, minimum $0.02 | 10, 50 or 100 published products depending on plan |
| Customily | from $49 per month, per platform | $1.00 per unique personalized item for the first 100, then $0.50, $0.25 and $0.10 as volume rises | unlimited products and options on the paid plan |
| Print.App | None | None | Unlimited designs and projects |
Competitor figures are their published plans as of August 2026, taken from Zakeke listing on the Shopify App Store and Customily pricing page . Prices change, and plans can differ by platform and region. Check the current figures before making a decision. Print.App charges $0.10 per print file download after 100 free each month, with no subscription and no fee tied to your order value.
A worked example, because percentages are hard to feel. Assume 500 unique personalized items in a month at an average order value of $25, which is $12,500 of sales.
The Zakeke figure moves with your order values rather than your volume, so a shop selling signage or large-format work pays materially more than this example for the same number of files. The Print.App figure does not move at all.
Each comparison below names what the other tool does better. That is deliberate. A page that claims to win on every axis is not a comparison, it is an advert, and you would be right to discount everything else on it.
Zakeke charges a monthly subscription, caps how many products you may publish, and takes a percentage of every sale on top. The percentage means the same design costs you more to process on a high-value job than a low-value one.
Read the comparison → Print.App vs CustomilyCustomily charges a monthly subscription per platform and then a fee for each unique personalized item, starting at $1.00 and falling as volume grows. Only above 10,000 items a month does the per-item rate reach what Print.App charges from the first file.

Because one of them grows with you and the other does not. A subscription is predictable. A percentage of every sale, or a fee on every item, rises with the exact thing you are trying to increase. Two shops paying the same monthly fee can pay wildly different totals once volume arrives.
None. There is no commission, no percentage of revenue and no per-order charge on any plan. You pay $0.10 when you download a print file, after the first 100 each month, and nothing else. A $12 mug and a $1,200 signage job cost you the same to process.
They are the published plans as of August 2026, taken from each company's own listing or pricing page, and every figure links to its source. Prices change and can vary by platform and region, so check the current numbers before deciding.
No. Each comparison names the things the other tool does better, because that is more useful to you than a page claiming we win at everything. If you need 3D or AR product configuration, or you sell on Etsy and Amazon, the honest answer is on those pages.
