Quick Answer: Printify prices fall into three layers — plan price ($0 Free, $39/month or $24.99/month annual Premium, custom Enterprise), base product price ($4–$25 per unit by category), and shipping price ($3.99–$18 per order by zone).
Premium discounts base product prices by ~20% across most providers, which pays back the plan fee at roughly 17 orders/month on monthly billing or 11 on annual.
This breakdown shows every price tier and what changed in February 2026.
The Three Price Layers
Most “Printify prices” articles lump everything into one number. That hides where your margin actually goes.
Printify charges you on three separate price layers, and each one moves differently. Pricing your store correctly means tracking all three.
- Plan price — what you pay Printify each month for the platform itself. Flat, predictable.
- Product price — what each unit costs you when a customer orders it. Varies by product, provider, and plan.
- Shipping price — what Printify charges to ship the order. Varies by zone, product, and provider.
The trap: most sellers price their listings off product price alone, forget shipping isn’t baked in, and discover the plan fee eats their first 16 orders every month.
Plan Prices: Free, Premium, Enterprise
Printify runs three plan tiers as of 2026. Here’s what each one actually costs.
Free plan — $0/month
No subscription fee, ever. You get the full product catalog, unlimited designs, and up to 5 connected storefronts (Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, eBay, TikTok Shop).
The trade-off: you pay full base product price on every order — no Premium discount. For sellers under ~10 orders/month, this is the right plan.
Premium plan — $39/month or $24.99/month annual
Monthly billing is $39 as of February 17, 2026 (up from $29 before). Annual billing held at $299/year, which works out to $24.99/month effective.
You get the same product catalog as Free, plus up to 10 connected storefronts and roughly 20% off base product price across most providers. Some new SKUs run up to 33% off on Premium.
For the detailed Premium math, see our Printify Premium cost full breakdown.
Enterprise plan — custom pricing
Printify doesn’t publish Enterprise prices. It’s contract-based for high-volume merchants and includes unlimited stores, dedicated support, and additional product discounts above the Premium 20%.
Practical threshold: sellers usually move to Enterprise around 10,000+ orders/month or $500k+ annual GMV. Below that, Premium annual carries the same per-unit discount on most SKUs.
Product Prices by Category
Base product price is what Printify charges you per unit when a customer orders. Different product categories sit in different price bands.
Typical 2026 base prices on Free vs Premium for popular SKUs (US-based providers, single-color print):
| Product | Free price | Premium price | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bella+Canvas 3001 tee | $11.69 | $9.34 | ~20% |
| Gildan 18000 sweatshirt | $17.50 | $14.00 | ~20% |
| Gildan 18500 hoodie | $22.50 | $18.00 | ~20% |
| 11oz ceramic mug | $5.50 | $4.40 | ~20% |
| Canvas poster 18×24 | $15.00 | $12.00 | ~20% |
| Samsung Galaxy case | $10.50 | $8.40 | ~20% |
| All-over-print tee | $18.00 | $14.40 | ~20% |
Two things to flag here. First, prices vary 10–20% between providers for the same SKU. A Bella+Canvas 3001 from Monster Digital costs differently than the same SKU from Print Geek — same garment, same plan, different provider.
Second, all-over-print and cut-and-sew products cost more than basic apparel because they’re produced from scratch rather than printed on stock blanks. Budget accordingly.
Shipping Prices by Zone
Shipping is a separate price line per order, computed from the provider’s carrier rate plus Printify’s markup.
Rough 2026 shipping prices:
| Zone | First item | Additional items |
|---|---|---|
| US (US-based provider) | $3.99–$7.99 | $1.99–$3.99 |
| Canada (US-based provider) | $8.50–$14.00 | $3.50–$6.00 |
| EU (EU-based provider) | $4.50–$8.50 | $2.00–$4.00 |
| UK (UK-based provider) | $4.00–$7.50 | $1.50–$3.50 |
| International (US to EU) | $8–$18 | $4–$8 |
| International (US to AU) | $10–$22 | $5–$10 |
The biggest lever is geographic routing. If you sell to EU customers and you’re still fulfilling from a US provider, you’re paying international prices on every order. Route through an EU provider and the same order ships at local rates.

February 2026 Premium Price Change
On February 17, 2026, Printify raised monthly Premium from $29 to $39. Annual Premium stayed at $299/year ($24.99/month effective).
Nothing else changed. Same product discount, same store count, same features. Only the monthly subscription price moved — about 35% in one step.
The practical effect: monthly Premium now needs ~17 orders/month to break even on the discount, up from ~12 before. Annual is unchanged at ~11 orders/month.
If you’re currently on monthly Premium and you do 12–17 orders/month, the math now says switch to annual or move down to Free. The Chayaani 2026 Printify pricing guide has a before/after view of the change.
If you’re looking for ways to soften the Premium price, see our Printify Premium coupon breakdown and the Premium coupon code breakdown.
Premium Discount Math: When It Pays Back
The Premium discount is roughly 20% on base product price across most providers. Whether it pays for the plan depends on your average order base price.
Quick formula: break-even orders = plan price / (avg base product price × 0.20).
For a $10 average base product (a basic tee), the 20% discount saves $2 per order. Monthly Premium at $39 breaks even at ~20 orders/month. Annual Premium at $24.99 breaks even at ~13.
For a $20 average base (hoodies, all-over-print), the discount saves $4 per order. Monthly breaks even at ~10 orders/month, annual at ~6.
So the answer to “is Premium worth it” depends entirely on what you sell. Hoodie sellers cross the break-even fast. Pure mug stores almost never do.
A Real Order, Priced Out
Here’s what a single typical order actually looks like on Premium, including all three price layers:
A US customer orders one Bella+Canvas 3001 tee from your Shopify store. Retail price: $24.99.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Retail (what customer pays) | $24.99 |
| Base product price (Premium) | −$9.34 |
| Shipping price (US, first item) | −$4.99 |
| Sales tax pass-through (6%) | −$1.50 |
| Shopify Payments fee (2.9% + $0.30) | −$1.02 |
| Gross margin before plan + ads | $8.14 |
From that $8.14, you still have to absorb your Premium plan amortized over the month (~$0.50 per order if you do 50 orders), your design tooling, and your ad spend.
If you’re paying $4 of CAC on that order, you’re left with around $3.60 of operating profit per tee. That’s the real margin most POD sellers run on, and why a $1.00 shift in any single price line matters.
Printify Prices vs Printful and Gelato
Quick price comparison on the lines that move margin:
- Plan price — Printify Premium is $39/month or $24.99 annual. Printful charges $24.99/month for Plus, $49.99 for Pro. Gelato Plus runs $24/month. All three have a $0 free tier.
- Base product price — Printify usually wins on US apparel by 10–20%. Printful runs higher base prices but bakes in tighter in-house QA. Gelato is competitive on EU and APAC pricing because of local production.
- Shipping price — Printify and Printful are close US-to-US. Printful tends to be more consistent internationally. Gelato is structurally cheaper on EU local shipping because it produces in-region.

How Printify Prices Drift
Printify prices aren’t static. Four things move them in ways most sellers won’t notice without itemized tracking:
- Provider wholesale updates. Print providers change their base prices 2–4 times/year. A bestseller can move $0.50–$1.50 in base price without warning.
- Shipping zone surcharges. A provider adds a fuel surcharge or zone adjustment. Your international shipping price climbs $1–$3 per order overnight.
- Plan price changes. The February 2026 Premium increase is the most recent example. Always reconfirm plan prices when running margin math.
- Currency drift. If you sell in EUR or GBP and Printify bills in USD, your effective base price moves with FX. Over 6 months, that can be 3–7%.
None of these show up as a notification. They show up as a thinner margin, and most sellers chase the wrong cause — CAC, returns, discounts — before they find the price drift.
FAQs
Does Printify take a commission on each sale?
No. Printify charges base product price plus shipping when an order is placed, never a percentage of your retail price. Commissions get taken on your storefront side — Etsy fees, Shopify Payments processing, eBay final value fees — not by Printify.
What’s the cheapest Printify plan?
Free at $0/month. You pay full base product price per order, but no monthly fee. It’s the right starting plan until you’re consistently doing 11+ orders/month on annual Premium or 17+ on monthly.
How much does Printify charge per shirt?
Roughly $9–$12 base price for a standard tee on Premium ($11–$14 on Free), plus $3.99–$7.99 US shipping. So a single-tee US order runs you about $13–$20 total Printify-side, before your storefront fees and ad spend.
Are Printify prices different across countries?
Yes — effectively. Base product prices are billed in USD, but provider pricing shifts by region because EU and UK providers list slightly different wholesale rates. Shipping prices vary by zone and route. The same order pays different totals depending on which provider fulfills it.
Does Printify charge for design uploads?
No. Uploading designs is free on every plan. The mockup generator, product catalog, and design library are all free to use. You only pay when a customer places an order.
What hidden prices aren’t on the Printify invoice?
Sample orders (billed at normal base + shipping), customer returns (you absorb the production cost), design tooling subscriptions (Canva, Placeit), and sales tax pass-through. These don’t show as Printify charges but they hit your books every month. See the full Printify costs full breakdown for the itemized view.
Did Printify raise prices in 2026?
Yes — monthly Premium went from $29 to $39 on February 17, 2026. Annual Premium and Free both held steady. The product discount didn’t change.
How do I lower Printify prices without dropping a plan?
Three levers: switch a bestseller’s print provider to a cheaper one for the same SKU, route international orders to local providers (EU customers to EU providers, etc.), and sample only the base garment per provider rather than every color variant. See the Printify costs and charges cluster for more.
Is Printify Premium worth it after the price hike?
Yes, if you’re consistently doing 17+ orders/month on monthly billing or 11+ on annual. Below that, the discount doesn’t cover the plan price. Annual is the better deal in most cases — the math hasn’t changed there.
Where can I see Printify prices for my storefront integrations?
Printify integrations are free — connecting Shopify, Etsy, eBay, WooCommerce, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and others adds no charge. The price you pay is still just base + shipping when an order lands. For setup details, see Printify Amazon setup guide and the related Printify and Amazon setup guide.
