Which POD Supplier Is Cheapest?

No supplier wins on everything. This is how often each one holds the lowest verified price on products where a rival is also priced — a rate rather than a count, because a supplier listing 191 products would otherwise out-score one listing 7 by default.

Supplier Cheapest on Win rate Median price From
CustomCat 58 of 60 97% $10.05 $2.94
Teelaunch 15 of 33 45% $9.62 $3.65
Fourthwall 14 of 31 45% $15.81 $8.75
Gelato 25 of 60 42% $16.89 $6.26
Gooten 25 of 72 35% $14.40 $7.90

Printify 28 of 191 15% $19.80 $6.98

merchOne 0 of 7 0% $16.49 $8.79

Reference price is one printed unit with a single front print, size L where apparel is sized. Ties are credited to every supplier holding the low price. Products only one supplier prices are excluded — being cheapest unopposed says nothing about price.

Where These Prices Come From

Most POD comparison articles quote figures with no source and no date. Ours carry both, because a price you can't trace is worse than no price at all.

1

Pulled from supplier APIs

We query each supplier's own API for the production cost of one printed unit. Printify publishes cost only on a product inside a shop, so we create a draft, read the cost, and delete it.

2

Matched to one product

Suppliers name the same blank differently — CustomCat's "3001C" is Bella + Canvas 3001. We resolve those to a single model so the prices you see really are like for like.

3

Dated, or not shown

Every price carries its source and the date it was checked. Where a supplier gives us no way to verify, we show no price — you'll see "not verified" rather than a guess.

Print on Demand Pricing FAQ

Which print on demand supplier is cheapest?

Across the 505 products we price via supplier APIs, CustomCat offers the lowest price on 58 of the 60 products where a rival is also priced — the highest rate of any supplier we track. No single supplier is cheapest for everything, which is why we compare per product rather than naming one overall winner. The cheapest verified price on the site right now is $2.34 per printed unit.

How are these print on demand prices verified?

Every price comes from the supplier's own API, not a scraped page or an estimate. We record the cost of one printed unit with a single front print, along with the source and the date it was checked. Prices last refreshed Oct 9, 2026. Where a supplier does not expose pricing programmatically, we show no price at all rather than a guess.

Do these prices include printing?

Yes. Each figure is the total production cost of one finished, printed unit — the blank plus a single front print — which is what you actually pay the supplier. It excludes shipping, which varies by destination, and any subscription discount such as Printful Growth or Printify Premium.

How many print on demand suppliers do you compare?

Our directory profiles 14 print on demand suppliers. We currently pull live pricing from 10 of them — CustomCat, Fourthwall, Gelato, Gooten, merchOne, Printful, Printify, ShineOn, SPOD, Teelaunch — covering 505 products. The remaining suppliers are listed with their products, integrations and trust scores, but without prices until they expose an API we can verify against.

Why do prices differ so much between POD suppliers for the same product?

The same blank can vary by several dollars between suppliers because of where it is printed, which decoration method is used, and what volume the supplier buys at. Print provider matters too — Printify alone routes one blank through up to 20 different providers, each with its own price. That spread is the reason a comparison is worth doing.
