Gelato Personalization Studio vs POD OS

Gelato gives personalization away to sellers who print with Gelato. POD OS is a personalizer that is not tied to any one printer. Which is right depends on whether Gelato is your only supplier.

When Gelato's studio is the right call

If Gelato prints everything you sell and its element set covers your designs, its studio costs you nothing extra. Use it.

When a supplier-neutral personalizer matters

If you want to keep Printify for some products, or route by cost or region, a personalizer owned by one printer works against you. POD OS keeps your templates independent of who prints them.
