Gooten vs Prodigi
Both print and ship for you, and neither lists product prices on its home page for a seller to read. Prodigi says it is 100% free to use, with no set-up fees, subscriptions or hidden costs, and it prints close to the buyer in the UK, EU and USA. Gooten sells itself on a wide catalogue, over 500 custom products with about 200 exclusive ones, and offers a sample order plus Contact Sales. The Prodigi terms put the company in the United Kingdom, while Gooten's terms point to a Minnesota corporation in Mankato.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Choose Gooten ifyou want a broad catalogue with exclusive products and a Custom API, and you will order samples to learn your costs. You are comfortable that prices come through sales and a sample, not a page.
Choose Prodigi ifyou sell art, canvas or wall decor and want no subscription, with printing near buyers in Europe and the US. You will check unit margins inside the account after signing up.

Where they differ
Gooten 1 · Prodigi 3 · open 2- 01
What a seller pays to get started
Prodigi states that it is 100% free to use, with no set-up fees, monthly subscriptions or hidden costs, and sign-up is free with no trial needed. Gooten's home page shows no prices, plans or currency, and offers only Sign up, Sample and Contact Sales buttons, and its pricing page returned a 404 when we tried it. The Shopify link is a free app in the Shopify App Store, but the service itself carries no stated terms, so cost stays open until you ask.

Catalogue claims side by side
Gooten says it has over 500 custom products, over 200 of them exclusive, and over 30 apparel brands, across apparel, drinkware, wall art and accessories. Prodigi's home page cites 500,000+ customisable products in one place and over 250 products in another, so the real size is unclear. Prodigi covers wall art, prints, canvas, framed prints, stickers, stationery, homewares and apparel. Gooten's figures are at least internally consistent, which makes the catalogue easier to judge, and for that it takes the round.

Where the printing happens
Prodigi describes in-house print facilities in the UK, EU and USA plus more than 50 print partners in over 10 countries, with orders routed to sites near the customer. Gooten says it routes, produces and ships orders with 99% accuracy and an under 3 day SLA, across a managed network of vetted suppliers, yet nothing we read says in which countries those suppliers sit. Prodigi shows its geography, and local printing shortens delivery for buyers in those regions.

Store links and ordering routes
Gooten names Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, TikTok Shop and BigCommerce plus a Custom API. Prodigi names Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Wix and BigCommerce, a Print API, a manual online order form and a bulk CSV importer. Prodigi adds a free mockup generator for product images. Gooten adds TikTok Shop, where Prodigi's list has Squarespace and Wix, so check the match before choosing. Which list is better depends on your storefront, so we call it level.
Depends on the buyer

Speed and help on offer
Prodigi states that over 80% of custom products are ready for dropshipping within 24-48 hours, and lists 24-hour email support with live chat also available. Gooten's page gives an under 3 day SLA for orders but names no support channel or hours on the pages we read. Neither states numeric usage limits for orders or accounts, and neither mentions self-hosting. Prodigi at least tells you what to expect when something goes wrong, so it takes this one.

Company name and country on record
Gooten's terms name OrderMesh, Inc., doing business as Gooten, a Minnesota corporation based in Mankato and governed by Minnesota law, though the country is not written out. Prodigi's terms state that Prodigi Group Ltd is registered in the United Kingdom under English law, with affiliates including Prodigi BV, Prodigi USA Inc and Peecho BV. Prodigi is the more explicit about its legal home, and neither names a parent company or owner, so we call it level.
Depends on the buyer
When neither fits
If you want published per-item prices before signing up, neither page gives them. Printify and Printful are the two we would look at next in our print on demand ranking.
