Quick Answer: Printify runs three pricing plans in 2026 — Free at $0/month, Premium at $39/month (or $24.99/month on annual billing), and Enterprise at custom pricing.
The Premium plan unlocks a ~20% discount on base product prices, which pays back the plan fee at roughly 17 orders/month on monthly billing or 11 on annual.
This breakdown shows what each plan really costs across a full year, what changed in February 2026, and how to pick the right tier for your order volume.
Printify Pricing Plans at a Glance
Printify offers three plans. Each carries a different monthly cost and a different per-order economics profile.
| Plan | Monthly cost | Annual cost | Product discount | Stores |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 0% | Up to 5 |
| Premium (monthly) | $39 | $468 | ~20% | Up to 10 |
| Premium (annual) | $24.99 effective | $299 | ~20% | Up to 10 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom | 20%+ | Unlimited |
The headline number on each plan only tells half the story. Free isn’t really $0 once you count the discount you’re leaving on the table. Premium isn’t really $39 if you bill annually. Enterprise pricing exists but never appears on a public page.
The next sections break down what each one actually costs.
Free Plan: What $0 Actually Costs
Printify Free is a real $0 plan. No credit card, no trial countdown, no setup fee. You get the full product catalog, unlimited designs, and up to 5 connected storefronts.
The cost shows up in what you give up. Every order pays full base product price — no Premium discount applied.
That gap matters. On a $24.99 Bella+Canvas 3001 tee, you pay $11.69 base on Free vs $9.34 on Premium. Across 100 orders, that’s $235 of missed margin.
For sellers under ~10 orders/month, Free is the right plan. The discount Premium offers wouldn’t cover its $24.99–$39 monthly fee. Once you cross that volume, Free becomes the more expensive plan, not the cheaper one.

Premium Plan Cost: $39/mo or $299/yr
Premium is the paid tier most active sellers land on. Two billing options, very different price.
Monthly billing — $39/month
Pay-as-you-go pricing. You can cancel any month. Total annual cost: $468.
This is the plan to test Premium before committing. If you’re unsure whether 20% off base prices will outpace the $39, monthly gives you a clean exit each cycle.
Annual billing — $299/year ($24.99/month effective)
Pay upfront for 12 months. Saves $169 vs monthly across a year — effectively 36% off the monthly rate.
You get identical features either way. Same 20% product discount, same 10 stores, same Printify Connect, same priority support. The only difference is the upfront commitment.
For most sellers who’ve already validated their store, annual is the obvious pick. The break-even point moves from ~17 to ~11 orders/month, and you’re paying for 7.7 months of service instead of 12.

Enterprise Plan Cost: Custom Quote
Printify doesn’t publish Enterprise pricing on the public site. The plan is contract-based, quoted against your order volume.
What you get above Premium: a custom discount that exceeds 20%, a dedicated account manager, API integration for automated order routing, unlimited stores, and unlimited team seats.
Practical threshold for switching from Premium to Enterprise: around 10,000+ orders/month or $500k+ annual GMV. Below that volume, Premium annual usually carries the same per-unit discount on most SKUs, so paying for Enterprise wouldn’t move your margin enough to justify the contract.
If you’re running closer to that threshold, contacting Printify’s sales team and asking for a comparison quote is free. Worst case, you stay on Premium annual.
February 2026 Premium Price Increase
On February 17, 2026, Printify raised monthly Premium from $29 to $39. That’s a 34% jump in one step.
Annual Premium stayed at $299/year ($24.99/month effective). Nothing else moved — same discount, same store count, same features.
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. The price hike pushed a lot of borderline-volume sellers toward annual billing or back to Free.

Real Annual Cost of Each Plan
The monthly-cost number masks the actual 12-month spend. Here’s what each plan really costs across a full year on the plan fee alone:
| Plan | 12-month plan fee | Annual savings vs monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | — |
| Premium monthly | $468 | — |
| Premium annual | $299 | $169 |
| Enterprise | Custom | Negotiated |
If your store does 50 orders/month and you switch from monthly to annual Premium, you save $169/year on the plan fee without losing a single feature. That’s ~$3.40 of extra margin on every order.
The honest answer on monthly billing: it’s a hedge while you test. Once your volume is stable, switching to annual is one of the cleanest margin moves on the entire Printify cost stack.
Break-Even Math: When Premium Pays Back
Premium pays back when the 20% product discount covers the plan fee. The formula:
Break-even orders = plan price / (avg base product price × 0.20)
Run it against your actual products, not catalog averages. The math shifts hard by category.
Cheap products (mugs, stickers): high break-even
For a $5 average base product (an 11oz mug, basic sticker), the 20% discount saves $1 per order. Monthly Premium at $39 breaks even at ~40 orders/month. Annual Premium at $24.99 breaks even at ~25.
Mid products (tees): medium break-even
For a $10 average base (a Bella+Canvas 3001), the discount saves $2 per order. Monthly breaks even at ~20 orders/month. Annual at ~13.
Premium products (hoodies, all-over-print): low break-even
For a $20 average base (a Gildan 18500 hoodie or all-over-print tee), the discount saves $4 per order. Monthly breaks even at ~10 orders/month. Annual at ~6.
So the “is Premium worth it” answer depends entirely on what you sell. Hoodie sellers cross break-even fast. Pure mug stores almost never do.
Hidden Costs Beyond the Plan Fee
The plan price isn’t the only cost line that ties to your pricing plan choice. Two more move with it.
Lost-margin cost on Free
The 20% product discount you don’t get on Free is a real cost, even though it’s not on any invoice. At 25 orders/month and a $10 base, that’s $50/month of margin you’re leaving with Printify. Over a year, $600.
If you’re trying to compare Free vs Premium honestly, you have to count this. Free isn’t cheaper than Premium once you cross the break-even — it’s more expensive.
Idle-plan cost on Premium
The flip side. If you’re paying $39/month and shipping 4 orders, you’re losing money on the plan. The discount saved you maybe $8 against a $39 fee. Net $31/month wasted.
Seasonal sellers get hit by this one most. Premium makes sense in Q4 and breaks down in Q1–Q2 when volume dips. Switching plans seasonally is allowed — you can drop from Premium to Free, then re-upgrade, with no penalty.
Currency drift cost
Premium is billed in USD. If your revenue is in EUR, GBP, or AUD, FX moves the effective plan cost 3–7% over 6 months. Most sellers don’t notice until they reconcile.
How to Pick the Right Plan
Cut through the marketing copy with one question: what’s your trailing 3-month average order volume?
- 0–10 orders/month: Free. The discount can’t cover the fee yet.
- 11–17 orders/month: Premium annual. The discount covers the $24.99 effective, but monthly Premium would still be a loss.
- 17–500 orders/month: Premium annual. Pure no-brainer in this band.
- 500–10,000 orders/month: Premium annual, and request an Enterprise quote to compare.
- 10,000+ orders/month: Enterprise. The custom discount usually beats Premium’s 20% in this band.
This is a back-of-envelope cut. Your real product mix matters — a hoodie-heavy store at 8 orders/month might break even on annual Premium too. Run the actual math against your top 5 SKUs.

FAQs
How much does Printify cost per month?
$0 on Free, $39 on Premium monthly, $24.99 effective on Premium annual (billed as $299/year), and custom on Enterprise. The plan fee is separate from per-order product and shipping prices, which you pay regardless of plan.
How much does Printify Premium cost per year?
$299 if you choose annual billing, or $468 ($39 × 12) if you stay on monthly billing. Annual saves $169/year and is the better deal for any seller with stable volume.
Why did Printify Premium increase from $29 to $39?
Printify raised monthly Premium on February 17, 2026, citing platform investment. Annual Premium and the product discount didn’t change. Monthly billing is the only price that moved — about a 34% increase in one step.
Can I switch between Printify pricing plans?
Yes, freely. You can upgrade Free to Premium or downgrade Premium to Free at any time. Annual Premium downgrades trigger a prorated refund on the unused portion. Seasonal upgrading and downgrading is allowed and common among Q4-heavy sellers.
Is the Printify Premium plan worth the cost?
Yes if you’re consistently doing 17+ orders/month on monthly billing or 11+ on annual. Below that, the 20% product discount doesn’t cover the plan price and you’d save money on Free. Hoodie and all-over-print sellers cross the break-even faster than mug or sticker stores.
How much does Printify Enterprise cost?
Custom — Printify doesn’t publish Enterprise pricing. The plan is quoted against your order volume, typically targeting sellers at 10,000+ orders/month or $500k+ annual GMV. You get a discount exceeding 20%, a dedicated account manager, API integration, and unlimited stores.
Does Printify charge transaction fees on top of the plan?
No. Printify charges base product price and shipping when an order is placed, plus your monthly plan fee if you’re on Premium. There’s no per-sale commission. Storefront fees (Etsy 6.5%, Shopify Payments 2.9% + $0.30, eBay final value) sit separately on your storefront, not on Printify’s side.
Is Printify free trial available?
No traditional free trial — Free itself is the entry plan and runs indefinitely. Premium has no separate trial period, but switching between plans is unrestricted, so the practical equivalent is starting on Free and upgrading once volume justifies it.
How does Printify pricing compare to Printful?
Printful charges $24.99/month for Plus and $49.99/month for Pro, with a $0 free tier. Printify Premium annual ($24.99 effective) matches Printful Plus on price but bundles a steeper product discount. Printful runs higher base product prices but bakes in tighter QA. See the Printify Square integration guide and Printify Squarespace integration guide if you’re evaluating storefront fit alongside plan choice.
What’s the cheapest way to use Printify in 2026?
Start on Free, validate your store, then switch to Premium annual the month you cross ~11 orders/month consistently. Avoid monthly Premium unless you’re explicitly testing or running a seasonal Q4 push.
