Printify vs Printful
Printify and Printful both have a free plan, but they charge for the upgrade differently. Printify sells Premium from $39 a month, or from $24.99 billed yearly, and routes orders across 141 facilities in a network that delivers to 209 countries. Printful's Growth plan is $24.99 a month, becomes free once you reach $12K in sales per year, and comes with a 14-day trial. Printful also publishes its add-on prices, which Printify's pricing page does not show in the pages we read. Neither site states a European owner, so the choice is mostly about discounts and add-ons.
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 Printify ifyou want to test many products across several stores on a free plan and are happy with a routed network of print partners. You will pay for Premium if discounts matter.
Choose Printful ifyou want a 14-day trial, a published add-on price list and a Growth fee that drops away once annual sales reach $12K. You accept that shipping and taxes come on top of the item price.

Where they differ
Printify 2 · Printful 4 · open 0- 01
Premium against Growth
Printify Premium costs from $39 per month, or from $24.99 per month billed yearly, which it says saves 36%. It brings 10 stores, up to 33% off new products and up to 20% off all products. Printful Growth is $24.99 per month billed monthly, with up to 33% off product pricing, 9% off branding and 25% off samples. Printful's monthly rate is the lower of the two monthly numbers, though Printify's yearly rate matches it exactly.

When the upgrade fee disappears
Printful says Growth is free once the seller reaches $12K in sales per year. Printify's pricing page does not describe a comparable waiver in the pages we read, so Premium is a fee you keep paying. A store that grows past $12K on Printful stops paying for the upgrade, and a store that grows on Printify keeps its monthly or yearly Premium bill. That favours Printful for a seller who expects steady growth.

Reach of the print network
Printify describes a global network of 141 facilities that delivers to 209 countries and territories, with a catalogue of over 2,000 products. Printful's pages we read give a catalogue of 599 custom products on the free plan and name no facility count or delivery footprint. For a seller who wants to know how many production sites stand behind an order, Printify gives the figure and Printful does not in what we read.

Free plan side by side
Printify's free plan costs $0 and allows 5 stores per account with unlimited product designs. Printful's free plan costs $0, lists unlimited stores and 10 Quick Stores, sells on 20+ platforms and marketplaces, and gives sample orders at 20% off, one per month, up to 3 items. Printful's list is longer in what it promises, and the store cap is the clearest difference. A seller with six shops stays free only on Printful.

Add-ons and extras on the bill
Printful publishes add-on prices: labels at $0.99 or $2.49, premium images at $1 each, embroidery digitization at $2.95 to $6.50 per design and extra embroidery placements at $2.95. Its per-item price includes one print or embroidery placement, with shipping and taxes charged separately. Printify's pages we read show no add-on price list. Printful is more transparent about the extras that raise an order total, so a seller can model the cost of an embroidered, labelled item before opening a store.

Who writes the terms
Printify's Terms of Service are issued by Printify, Inc. at Wilmington, Delaware under Delaware law, and also name Printify Development SIA, founded in 2015 in Riga, Latvia, with addresses in Riga and Tallinn. Printful's about page names no headquarters, owner or legal entity, and its terms-of-service URL returned a 404. Printify is the one that tells you who the contracting party is, though that party is American and the Latvian company appears only as a named development entity.
Edge: Printify
When neither fits
If you want a single named printer instead of a routed network, or a focus on books and photo products, look at Prodigi and Lulu Direct. Neither Printify nor Printful states a European parent, so a buyer who needs one should check those two.
