A Customily alternative that does not charge you per item
Customily costs $49 a month per platform, then up to $1 for every unique personalized item you sell. POD OS is the same $49 with no per-order fees, and we move your products over for you.

Why sellers look for a Customily alternative
The per-item fee is the line sellers complain about most. One 1-star Shopify review puts it plainly: "charge you for the service then charge you again when the customer uses it." At 1,000 unique items a month the published schedule adds $550 on top of the $49 subscription.
The other recurring themes in 1-2 star reviews are speed ("20 minutes to render a file, does not work if you are doing 20+ orders per day"), the interface ("clunky and poorly designed, tools feel disconnected") and support.
Where Customily is still ahead
Customily has a wider element set today: crosswords, word clouds, calendars and Spotify codes are live there and on our roadmap here. It also supports WooCommerce, Amazon and Shoplazza, which we do not. If you depend on those, stay until we ship them.
