The print shop SaaS that started it all. Here's how we stack up.
Pick DecoNetwork if you want the deepest feature list in the category and the license-plus-subscription model suits you. Pick Printer's Friend if you want a single monthly price with nothing sold separately.
DecoNetwork has been around the longest and is feature-deep. The difference now is shape of cost rather than transparency: a one-time license fee on top of a monthly subscription, with several capabilities sold a la carte. Printer's Friend is one monthly price with the portal, designer and kiosk in core.
DecoNetwork figures taken from their own published pricing on , source. Prices change; check theirs before you decide.
One monthly price and no add-on fees. Where something needs a higher plan, the card says which.
Screen, DTG, DTF, embroidery, sublimation and transfers each price on their own model, with garment cost, setup, quantity breaks and margin visible on the quote line.
On every plan
A kanban for the office that updates every fifteen seconds, a full-screen wallboard for the shop, and per-station screens filtered to the stages that station cares about. Barcode scan advances a job.
On every plan
Staff clock on and off at a floor station against an order number. Hours cost at each person's labour rate, so reports show margin after labour, not just gross margin.
On every plan
Assign a rep to an order and their rate is frozen onto it. Commission is earned on dispatch, on the ex-tax value, and totals per rep sit in Reports.
On every plan
Customers sign in under your branding to approve artwork, track the production stage, pay invoices and reorder past jobs. Unlimited portal users, no per-seat charge.
On every plan
Team stores at your workspace address, group-buy campaign pages and an in-store kiosk, all included. Every storefront page carries its own social card and share buttons so a link unfurls with the product picture.
On every plan
SKU-level stock with a movement ledger, reorder points, suggested purchase orders, PO emailing to the supplier, receiving and cycle counts. Any supplier's range imports from CSV.
On every plan
A REST API for customers, orders and inventory, and signed outbound webhooks on order stage changes, so any tool you already run stays in step.
On Premium and above
DecoNetwork is the better fit if you run a fulfilment operation with multiple branded storefronts and want its supplier network and its longer feature list out of the box.
14 day trial. Card collected at signup, not charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime.
