I Tried and Tested Gearbubble vs Printify in 2025

Articles Print on Demand Print on Demand Comparisons

As an online seller I have tried out several print on demand platforms to streamline my business. Two that come up often are GearBubble and Printify. Both have their own features for creating and selling custom products.

When comparing pricing and profit margins my experience shows that costs can vary depending on the products and print providers chosen.

I would recommend checking out both options and see which one fits your business goals and target market.

Bonfire vs Teespring: Comparing Top Print-on-Demand Platforms

Articles Print on Demand Comparisons

I’ve compared Bonfire and Teespring, two print-on-demand platforms for creating and selling custom merchandise. Both allow creators to design and sell without inventory but they have some differences.

Bonfire is more focused on fundraising campaigns and social causes while Teespring (now Spring) is for a wider range of sellers and products.

I found Bonfire’s interface easier to use with an emphasis on t-shirts and apparel for events or charities. Spring has more customization options and more products to sell.

Pricing is different too. Bonfire takes a percentage of sales but offers free shipping on many orders. Spring charges listing fees on some products but gives sellers more control over pricing and profit margins.

I’ll dive into that more to help you decide which one is right for you.
