The $0.29 adds up
At 500 sales a month the per-sale fee is $145, plus the subscription. On the entry plan that passes $49 a month total at under 100 sales.
Being tied to one supplier
Printify-only routing means you cannot send an order to a cheaper or closer printer. POD OS routes by rules (cheapest, fastest, EU-first) across suppliers, starting with Printify and adding Printful and Gelato next.
Where HelloCustom is ahead
HelloCustom supports Amazon US. We do not, and it is not on our first-year roadmap.
