Quick Answer: In 2024, Printify Premium cost $29/month billed monthly or $299/year (~$24.99/month) billed annually. The plan unlocked up to 20% off most catalog products, 10 connected stores, and priority support.
On February 17, 2026, Printify raised the monthly price to $39/month. The annual rate stayed at $299/year — so the gap between monthly and annual widened from ~14% to ~36%.
If you locked in the 2024 annual rate before the change, you're paying the same price. If you're new or on monthly, the break-even point on Premium just moved from ~12 orders/month to ~17 orders/month.
What Premium cost in 2024
Throughout 2024, Printify Premium had two billing options. There were no other tiers between Free and Premium, and Enterprise required a separate sales conversation.
| Billing | 2024 price | Effective monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $29/month | $29.00 |
| Annual | $299/year | ~$24.99 |
Annual billing saved you about 14% versus paying month-to-month. That gap was small enough that many sellers stayed on monthly to keep the flexibility to cancel.
Currency was charged in USD by default. Some regional accounts saw small tax surcharges (typically under $3), but the headline price was the same globally.
What changed between 2024 and 2026
The 2024 pricing held steady through most of 2025. The change announcement came in late 2025, with the new rate taking effect on existing accounts at their first billing cycle on or after February 17, 2026.
The monthly rate went up $10
Monthly Premium moved from $29 to $39. That's a 34% increase on the headline number. It applies to everyone on monthly billing — there is no grandfathering for monthly subscribers.
The annual rate stayed flat
Annual Premium remained at $299/year. The implied per-month rate stayed at $24.99.
The monthly-vs-annual gap widened
Before the change, annual saved you about 14% over monthly. After the change, annual saves about 36%. The pricing structure now strongly pushes you toward annual billing if you plan to stay Premium for more than a few months.
What didn't change
The discount benefits, store cap, and feature set are identical to what 2024 subscribers got. You still get up to 20% off most products, up to 33% off select new products, 10 connected stores, and the priority support lane.
What the membership actually unlocks
Premium isn't a feature unlock — most of Printify's tools are on Free too. It's a price-side membership. Here's what you actually get for the subscription fee.
Up to 20% off most products in the catalog
This is the headline benefit. A standard $12 base-cost Bella+Canvas 3001 t-shirt drops to about $9.60 with the Premium discount. Most apparel, mugs, accessories, and home decor are in scope.
Up to 33% off select new and branded products
Some newer SKUs and Printify's custom-branded fulfillment options carry deeper discounts — up to 33% off. The discount column in the catalog shows the per-SKU rate.
10 connected stores (up from 5 on Free)
Premium doubles the store cap. You can connect 10 Shopify, Etsy, eBay, TikTok Shop, Wix, or Squarespace stores to one Printify account. Useful if you run niche stores or agency accounts.
Priority merchant support
Free uses the standard 24/7 support queue. Premium routes you to the priority lane, which materially shortens response times on launch days and weekends when issues stack up.
Custom branding on select products
Premium subscribers can add custom branding (interior tags, hang tags, packaging inserts) to select products without paying setup fees. Free sellers either skip branding or pay per item.

The discount math: 2024 vs 2026 per-order savings
The discount itself didn't change — only the subscription price did. So the per-order savings on a given product are identical to what they were in 2024. What changed is how many orders you need to fulfill before that saving covers the subscription.
Take a standard apparel example: a $12 base-cost t-shirt. With Premium's 20% discount, your cost drops to $9.60. That's $2.40 saved per unit.
| Order volume | Per-order savings | Monthly savings |
|---|---|---|
| 10 orders/month | $2.40 | $24.00 |
| 25 orders/month | $2.40 | $60.00 |
| 50 orders/month | $2.40 | $120.00 |
| 100 orders/month | $2.40 | $240.00 |
Hoodies make the math swing harder. A $20 base-cost hoodie saves $4 per unit on Premium — meaning 10 hoodie orders/month is $40 in savings, the same as 17 t-shirt orders.
Mugs and stickers swing it the other way. A $6 base-cost mug saves $1.20 per unit. You'd need 33 mug orders/month to match the savings of 17 t-shirt orders.
Break-even at 2024 vs 2026 prices
Here's the most concrete way to see the impact of the February 2026 change: how many orders you need each month before the discount pays back the subscription.
| Scenario | 2024 monthly ($29) | 2026 monthly ($39) | Annual ($299/yr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $12 base tee ($2.40/unit saved) | ~13 orders | ~17 orders | ~11 orders |
| $20 base hoodie ($4/unit saved) | ~8 orders | ~10 orders | ~7 orders |
| $6 base mug ($1.20/unit saved) | ~25 orders | ~33 orders | ~21 orders |
The annual column hasn't changed because the annual price didn't change. That's the most important takeaway: annual Premium is structurally a better deal than it was in 2024, because it's now the same price while the alternative got more expensive.
If your monthly volume sits comfortably above the break-even row for your product mix, Premium is worth it. If you're below, stay Free and revisit when volume grows.
If you signed up in 2024 — what you're paying now
Whether you're affected by the change depends on which plan you were on going into February 17, 2026.
2024 monthly subscribers
You moved to $39/month at your first billing cycle on or after February 17, 2026. No grandfathering. If you were paying $29 in January 2026, you started paying $39 in February.
2024 annual subscribers
You weren't affected mid-cycle. Your $299 prepaid year ran out at its original expiration. On renewal, you renewed at $299/year — same price.
Subscribers who switched billing in early 2026
If you were on monthly in early 2026 and switched to annual before Feb 17, you locked in $299/year. Anyone who switched after Feb 17 still pays $299/year — the annual rate didn't change either way.
The practical implication: if you've been on monthly since 2024 and you're confident you'll stay subscribed for at least 8 months in the next year, switching to annual saves you the equivalent of about 4 months of subscription. The longer you've been on monthly, the more obvious the move.
Monthly vs annual after the change
The economics of monthly vs annual look very different now than they did in 2024.
2024 framing
Annual cost $299 vs monthly's $348/year. Savings of about $49/year or 14%. The flexibility of monthly cancellation was often worth more than the saving for sellers testing a new business.
2026 framing
Annual still costs $299. Monthly now costs $468/year. Savings of $169/year or 36%. The flexibility of monthly cancellation is much harder to justify unless you genuinely expect to cancel within 8 months.
If you're net new to Premium in 2026 and reasonably sure POD is a long-term play, annual is now the default. The case for monthly is narrow: you're explicitly trial-running Premium for one or two months, or you anticipate seasonal churn.
How to decide for your store
Three diagnostic questions get you to the right plan choice.
1. What's your trailing 90-day average orders per month?
Use actual order data, not a forecast. If you averaged 5 orders/month in Q1 2026, you're not yet at a volume where Premium pays for itself on monthly billing. Stay Free.
2. What's your product mix?
If 70%+ of revenue comes from apparel, the per-order savings are higher and Premium pays off sooner. If you're heavy on mugs, stickers, and low-base-cost items, the math is less favorable.
3. How long do you plan to stay subscribed?
If the honest answer is "12 months or more," annual is the right pick. If it's "I want to test for a month," monthly. There's no in-between case where monthly beats annual on cost.

Hidden friction in the pricing fine print
The discount isn't a flat 20% across the catalog
"Up to 20%" is the marketing number. Specific products vary. Some carry 5–15% discounts, some carry the full 20%, and select branded items carry 33%. Check the discount column per SKU before doing your projected math.
Premium doesn't change shipping rates
Shipping is set per print provider and destination. Premium does not get cheaper shipping. The only Premium-related cost saving is on base cost.
Currency surcharges aren't well-advertised
Some non-USD billing currencies attach a small surcharge ($1–$3). It's listed in the billing fine print, not the headline price.
The store-cap math is sneakier than it looks
Premium allows 10 stores. That includes stores you abandoned, test sandboxes, and inactive accounts. The cap doesn't filter by activity.

FAQs
Is Printify Premium still $29 per month in 2026?
No. Monthly Premium moved from $29 to $39 on February 17, 2026. Annual Premium stayed at $299/year (~$24.99/month).
Was I grandfathered if I subscribed at the 2024 price?
Annual subscribers were unaffected mid-cycle — your prepaid year ran out at the original price, then renewed at $299/year (same rate). Monthly subscribers were not grandfathered; you moved to $39 at your first billing cycle on or after February 17, 2026.
What's the discount on Premium?
Up to 20% off most products in the catalog, with up to 33% off select new products and Printify's branded fulfillment options. The discount didn't change — only the monthly subscription price did.
Does Premium include shipping discounts?
No. Shipping is set per print provider and destination. Premium only discounts base product costs.
How many orders do I need for Premium to pay for itself in 2026?
On monthly billing at $39, roughly 17 orders/month for an average $12 base-cost t-shirt. On annual billing at $299/year, the break-even drops to about 11 orders/month. Hoodies and higher-base-cost items reduce that count; mugs and stickers increase it.
Can I downgrade to Free if I'm not getting value from Premium?
Yes. Cancellation is one click in your account settings. You keep all your products, designs, and integrations — only the discount and the extra 5 store slots go away. The downgrade takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
Why did Printify raise the monthly price?
Printify hasn't published a detailed reasoning beyond standard inflation language. The practical effect is that the company is pushing customers toward annual billing — annual now saves 36% versus monthly, up from 14%.
Is the 2024 pricing relevant anymore?
Only for historical context and to understand grandfathering. If you're researching whether to subscribe now, the 2026 prices ($39/month or $299/year) are what apply.
