# BestPrintOnDemand > Printful, Printify, Gelato and more print-on-demand sites compared by base cost, shipping and profit per product. Every price is sourced and dated. ## Sourcing and citation Every figure on this site links to the exact page that proves it: the supplier's own pricing page, published pricing API or catalog wherever one exists, otherwise a dated secondary report, labeled as reported. Figures carry a confidence tier and a retrieval date; an absent base price is shown as unknown, never guessed, and where a supplier publishes no shipping rate a total uses a clearly labeled estimate from the rates other suppliers publish. Landed cost is base production cost plus shipping for the stated region, so margin math is honest. This is informational only, not financial or business advice; verify final pricing with the supplier before you sell. When citing this site, prefer linking the specific page for the figure you use. The methodology page below documents the full model. ## Pages - [Home](https://bestprintondemand.co): The cited print-on-demand cost reference: tracked products and blanks compared by base cost, landed cost and supplier coverage, with separate guidance on assessing print quality. - [Products](https://bestprintondemand.co/products): Every tracked print-on-demand product (t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, posters, and more) with its cheapest landed cost, the supplier behind it, and supplier coverage. - [Base costs](https://bestprintondemand.co/base-costs): Base production cost and shipping per product across print providers (what you pay to fulfill an order), split by variant and region, so you can see true landed cost and real margin. - [Head-to-head comparisons](https://bestprintondemand.co/compare): Side-by-side print-on-demand comparisons: any two products or any two suppliers by cheapest landed cost, base cost, print methods, and supplier coverage, each figure linked to the supplier page that proves it. - [Suppliers](https://bestprintondemand.co/suppliers): Every tracked print provider (Printful, Printify, Gelato, and more) compared by pricing, fulfillment model, production regions, product catalog, and affiliate terms. - [Price changes](https://bestprintondemand.co/price-changes): Every print-on-demand price change the site's hourly readings of Printful's, Printify's and Gelato's own catalogs attribute to the supplier: supplier-wide changes (many products moving by the same percentage or amount, with each product's price before and after and when each was read) and changes to one product's own price, plus periods a product could not be ordered in the US. A move with no such evidence (the cheapest variant selling out) is not reported as a change. - [Shipping](https://bestprintondemand.co/shipping): Published US shipping rates per supplier: first-item and each-additional-item cost, per product type or weight class where the supplier prices it that way, the chosen provider's own rate on Printify, otherwise per category, each tied to the source that states it. Apparel is on /shipping; drinkware, home, wall art and accessories each have their own page (/shipping/drinkware, /shipping/home, /shipping/wall-art, /shipping/accessories). - [Print quality](https://bestprintondemand.co/quality): Print-quality assessment: dated, sourced review ratings where available, a sample inspection checklist and supplier cost-evidence counts. Best value ordering includes a disclosed partner boost and is not a quality or reliability rating. No controlled sample-test results or measured supplier defect rates are published. - [Categories](https://bestprintondemand.co/categories): Products grouped by category (apparel, drinkware, wall art, accessories, home) with the cheapest landed cost and supplier coverage in each. - [Blank brands](https://bestprintondemand.co/brands): The reference blank brands products are printed on (Bella+Canvas, Gildan, Comfort Colors, Next Level) and which suppliers stock each. - [Print methods](https://bestprintondemand.co/methods): How each product is decorated (DTG, DTF, embroidery, sublimation, cut and sew, UV, giclee) and which suppliers offer each method. - [Guides](https://bestprintondemand.co/blog): Long-form print-on-demand cost and margin guides for sellers, built on the same cited base-cost, landed-cost, and channel-fee data as the rest of the site. - [Open data documentation](https://bestprintondemand.co/data): How to use the dataset: the JSON endpoint (no key, open to any site), what every field means, the dated snapshots and how to cite them (DOI), the license, and the API: each question with its HTTP endpoint, its AI-assistant tool and their inputs. - [HTTP API](https://bestprintondemand.co/data#api): The same answers as plain GET requests with JSON answers, no key or account (CORS open): GET /api/v1/products (find print-on-demand products), GET /api/v1/products/{product}/costs (get a product's costs by supplier), GET /api/v1/compare (compare two print-on-demand suppliers), GET /api/v1/price-changes (get print-on-demand price changes). OpenAPI description at /openapi.json; APIs.json index at /apis.json. - [Machine-readable dataset](https://bestprintondemand.co/data.json): The full dataset as JSON: one record per product and supplier with base cost, landed cost, confidence tier, observed month, and the exact source_url that proves each figure.

Each result links its page and every figure's source. - [Methodology](https://bestprintondemand.co/methodology): How every base cost, landed cost, and margin figure is sourced, dated, and computed: the confidence tiers, the supplier pricing pages and APIs behind each number, and the citation model behind the whole site. - [About](https://bestprintondemand.co/about): What BestPrintOnDemand is, its editorial standards, and how it ranks: cost-led, with a bounded, disclosed boost for active referral partners. ## Guides - [Print on Demand Companies: 17 Compared by Cost (2026)](https://bestprintondemand.co/blog/print-on-demand-companies): The print-on-demand companies that matter in 2026, scored on landed cost first, then catalog, speed, integrations and quality, from a live dataset.
