How did we compare Customily, Teeinblue and Printcart?
We compared Customily, Teeinblue and Printcart as Shopify personalisation apps on seven criteria: plan and per-item fee, free plan or trial, print-on-demand providers, personalisation options, production files, other sales channels, and support. Every competitor statement links to the vendor's own pricing page, site or Shopify App Store listing, checked on 20 October 2026; claims we could not read there were left out.
The comparison then sorts the three by type of shop, because the right app depends more on who prints the order than on the editor. No app is ranked first overall: each one fits a different kind of seller, and Printcart is the less suitable choice for a seller who relies on a print-on-demand provider today. Our wider Shopify product customizer comparison adds Zakeke and Inkybay, and the Zakeke alternatives for print shops adds Kickflip.
How do Customily and Teeinblue differ on price?
Customily and Teeinblue both list a $49 monthly plan on Shopify and charge a fee per personalised item, but the fees start differently. Teeinblue's pricing page charges no transaction fee on the first 100 orders a month, while Customily's pricing page charges $1 per item for the first 100 items, as of 20 October 2026.
Above 100, both fees fall by volume tier on the two pricing pages: Customily lists $0.50, $0.25 and $0.10 per item, and Teeinblue $0.40, $0.20 and $0.10, at the same 1,000 and 10,000 thresholds. Customily counts unique personalised items, so five identical copies of one design pay one fee, and its tiers reset each calendar month.
| Personalised items in a month | Customily (plan + fees) | Teeinblue (plan + fees) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | $49 | $49 | Customily pricing, Teeinblue pricing |
| 50 | $99 ($49 + 50 × $1) | $49 (no fee on the first 100 orders) | Customily pricing, Teeinblue pricing |
| 100 | $149 ($49 + 100 × $1) | $49 (no fee on the first 100 orders) | Customily pricing, Teeinblue pricing |
Customily also charges its $49 per platform, so a seller on Shopify and Etsy pays two subscriptions, according to the same pricing page. Printcart's prices are on its store-plans page, which lists a Free plan.
What does Printcart offer for personalised products on Shopify?
Printcart's Shopify app adds an online design tool to Shopify products: buyers personalise items with templates, text and image uploads on any device, and the store receives print-ready files in SVG, PDF, PNG and JPG. It is built for print shops, print-on-demand sellers and B2B suppliers, and a Free plan is available.
Products and their variations are imported from the Shopify store, and the merchant turns on the design tool or customer upload for each product, sets the design area on each side and reuses side templates across products. Orders and uploaded files are reviewed in the Printcart Dashboard, and the Printcart API gives access to order and design data for a CRM or ERP system. The Printcart store-plans page lists community support on the Free plan and priority support on Premium.
Which print-on-demand providers can each app send orders to?
Customily and Teeinblue both send personalised orders to print-on-demand providers, which matters for a seller who does not print. Customily lists Printful, Printify, Gelato, ShineOn and CustomCat on its print-on-demand page; Teeinblue's Shopify listing names Printify, Printful, merchOne, ShineOn and Gelato, as of 20 October 2026.
Printcart works differently. Printcart Connect lets a seller browse a POD catalog, design a product and prepare the files, and says that sending orders to a print partner through an API is planned and not live. A Printcart store therefore suits a shop that prints the orders itself, or one that hands the print-ready files to its own printer.
What can customers personalise in each app?
All three apps let customers add text and upload photos on Shopify, and the differences are in the extras. Customily's listing names street and star maps, calendars and AI filters, with file upload in PNG, JPEG, PSD and PDF; Teeinblue's listing names custom fields, clipart and AI photo effects such as background removal, face cutout and sketch.
Printcart's Shopify app offers templates, text and image uploads inside design areas the merchant sets, side templates reused across products, and options such as swatches, fonts and dimensions. With artwork upload, the merchant decides which files a customer may send. Every personalised order returns print-ready files in SVG, PDF, PNG and JPG.
Which app fits which type of shop?
The right app follows who prints the order and where the shop sells. A print-on-demand seller without a press needs the POD connection that Customily and Teeinblue both list; a seller who prints in house needs clean files and upload rules more than POD routing. The table sorts six common shop types by what each vendor's own pages say.
| Type of shop | Leans toward | Why, from the vendor's own page |
|---|---|---|
| New POD gift shop on Shopify, under 100 orders a month | Teeinblue | No transaction fee on the first 100 orders a month (pricing) |
| POD seller on Shopify plus Etsy, Amazon or Walmart | Customily | Lists Etsy, Amazon and Walmart DSV among its platforms (platforms) |
| Photo gifts with AI effects | Customily or Teeinblue | AI filters, or AI photo effects (Customily, Teeinblue) |
| Map, star-sky or calendar products | Customily | Street and star maps and calendars listed (listing) |
| Print shop producing in house | Printcart | Print-ready SVG, PDF, PNG and JPG files with every order (app page) |
| Seller who wants a whole branded store | Printcart | Full Shopify stores, from the Shopify T-shirt store to the print shop store |
Printcart's full stores include the Shopify print shop store and the Shopify T-shirt store; the full-store packages start at USD 799 a year.

All three apps include help with set-up, in different forms. Customily's Shopify listing names a multi-language support team with live chat, onboarding calls and training included; Teeinblue's listing names free live training and dedicated support on its plan, and its pricing page lists support and onboarding as included.
Printcart lists community support on the Free plan and priority support on paid plans, and sells set-up as a service: Printcart setup for Shopify installs and configures the app, imports products and options, and trains the team, with a written scope and quote. A seller with many products to configure should count set-up time, from either the vendor or the team, next to the monthly price.
What should you check before choosing or switching?
Before choosing, estimate your monthly personalised items, since the per-item fee is what separates Customily and Teeinblue as you grow. Confirm that your print-on-demand provider is on the app's list, and on the trial place one test order to see the file and the order that reach the provider or your press.
If you are moving between apps, plan to rebuild templates, options and product links, and switch products in batches so the store keeps selling during the move. Keep the old app installed until the last product is live in the new one, and check a few past orders still open their files. Printcart runs migration services from Customily and from Teeinblue. For other platforms and tools, see Customer's Canvas alternatives.
