So, you need to find a business venture that won&#8217;t take up a lot of your time daily and that is easy to start up and keep running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where print-on-demand sites are useful, as they allow you to set up a small business where most of the work is already taken care of. Sites like Customcat and Printify are two great print-on-demand websites that you will come across on your search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These online platforms are great and allow people to create a small business easily. However, to ensure your business becomes and stays successful, you need to choose the platform that will work best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be challenging to determine which online platforms will work better for you, so let&#8217;s look through all the relevant information about these two print-on-demand platforms to help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information And History Of Customcat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Welcome to CustomCat - INSPIRED Print-On-Demand Fulfillment!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SgzZoVKTd_A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we go into the fundamentals of how these two print-on-demand companies work and what they offer you, we need to go over some information about the companies so you understand their backgrounds and where they come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/customcat.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Customcat<\/a> is a great digital printing company based in Detroit, USA. This company uses advanced printing technology, meaning you can have as few or as many orders printed as you wish; there are no minimum order requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customcat has an excellent shipping department that ships your orders fast, usually within 2 to 3 days of the order going through. They will ship the orders right to your customers to ensure the production turnaround is as fast and efficient as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customcat also offers great integration with WooCommerce and Shopify, allowing you to sell and market your custom products easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information And History Of Printify<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Printify - Dropshipping Print On Demand Platform Explained\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rVJ9prsurCI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/printify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Printify<\/a> is also a great print-on-demand company that prides itself on making the printing of merchandise and custom designs as easy and simple as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify has many printing providers situated across the world, so even if you are someone who lives outside the USA, you can use this platform to create your small business for some extra income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Printify acts as the middleman between you and the printers, and you and your customers, making the process as streamlined as possible to ensure your customers receive good quality products quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify has recently updated its platform to allow you to choose which of its printers you use to have your custom products made. So, if you prefer a specific printer, you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the products are made, Printify will facilitate shipping the items to the customers on your behalf, so there is less pressure on you. This platform also offers a wide range of integrations to ensure you sell as many of your products as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_These_Two_Companies_Work\"><\/span>How Do These Two Companies Work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Customcat and Printify seem like very similar companies when you look at them on the surface. These companies offer basically the same service to people looking to start a small business in the custom-designed products field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these two print-on-demand platforms differ when you begin to look into how they work and what they really offer you as a client. Let&#8217;s go through what Customcat and Printify will offer you and how they differ from each other in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Customcat Works<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/b7b1482a-5560-42a6-88df-ba369c6a0e1f-1024x455.png\" alt=\"Customcat Vs.

If you want to run your business from your phone, you can go to the Shopify app store, search for the Customcat app, then click install. The app will download onto your phone, so you can manage your business wherever you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to integrate Customcat into your WooCommerce website, you will need to look for the Customcat plugin on the backend of your website and install it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have either the app open or the plugin, you will need to choose from a list of plans; ensure you read through their offerings to find the one that best suits your needs. Then you will need to complete the registration process to activate your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your account has been activated, you can create your custom designs. You will first need to pick a product you want your design on, and then you can upload your design and place it onto the product you have chosen. With Customcat, you can choose from 200+ items to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then export the final custom-designed product to your Shopify or WooCommerce store for your customers to start buying. Once a customer has bought the product, Customcat will process the order, print it, and ship it to the customer. You need to collect your profits when the product has been shipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Printify Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/d47f6fa8-5fff-4426-a939-58e30f9ffb49.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-990\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/d47f6fa8-5fff-4426-a939-58e30f9ffb49.png 988w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/d47f6fa8-5fff-4426-a939-58e30f9ffb49-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/d47f6fa8-5fff-4426-a939-58e30f9ffb49-768x416.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c7340fdc-8811-4a1d-88bd-5f78eaac8906-1024x480.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-991\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c7340fdc-8811-4a1d-88bd-5f78eaac8906-1024x480.png 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c7340fdc-8811-4a1d-88bd-5f78eaac8906-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c7340fdc-8811-4a1d-88bd-5f78eaac8906-768x360.png 768w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c7340fdc-8811-4a1d-88bd-5f78eaac8906.png 1094w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c347fb71-3f99-4ccc-b858-a0bdb330c066-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-992\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c347fb71-3f99-4ccc-b858-a0bdb330c066-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c347fb71-3f99-4ccc-b858-a0bdb330c066-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c347fb71-3f99-4ccc-b858-a0bdb330c066-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/c347fb71-3f99-4ccc-b858-a0bdb330c066.png 1051w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1015\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6fb0a114-964e-4d3e-b8ee-2836ae2c2767.png\" alt=\"Customcat vs. Printify\" class=\"wp-image-993\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6fb0a114-964e-4d3e-b8ee-2836ae2c2767.png 1015w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6fb0a114-964e-4d3e-b8ee-2836ae2c2767-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/6fb0a114-964e-4d3e-b8ee-2836ae2c2767-768x350.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1015px) 100vw, 1015px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/printify.grsm.io\/tshirtgrowth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">printify.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5f96eabc-6b42-4d73-9245-805c09f3f60e-1024x520.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-994\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5f96eabc-6b42-4d73-9245-805c09f3f60e-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5f96eabc-6b42-4d73-9245-805c09f3f60e-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5f96eabc-6b42-4d73-9245-805c09f3f60e-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5f96eabc-6b42-4d73-9245-805c09f3f60e.png 1059w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify works in a somewhat similar manner to Customcat, but there are some differences that we should go through. So, how Printify works is that you need to create an account with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you will be asked to choose a plan, of which many options will suit many different budgets, so many people can afford to start their own custom products business venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have registered and chosen your plant, you can design your products. You can choose an item you want to sell, then customize the item in many different ways, and then publish your product and sell, sell, sell. With Printify, you have a choice between 300+ items to sell. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify can integrate with many different platforms, including Shopify, eBay, WooCommerce, Wix, Etsy, PrestaShop, and more.

This is where most people make up their minds about which platform they will go for, as many people starting a small business have a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s go through the general costs of each print-on-demand platform, so you can choose the one that will fit your start-up budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Pricing Of Customcat<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"134\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/97f0591b-f295-4d4f-a972-b5ae5e90b514-1024x134.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-996\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/97f0591b-f295-4d4f-a972-b5ae5e90b514-1024x134.png 1024w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/97f0591b-f295-4d4f-a972-b5ae5e90b514-300x39.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/97f0591b-f295-4d4f-a972-b5ae5e90b514-768x101.png 768w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/97f0591b-f295-4d4f-a972-b5ae5e90b514.png 1204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecommerceceo.com\/reviews\/customcat\/#Pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ecommerceceo.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>First, we will have a look at the general prices of Customcat. Customcat has two pricing plans on offer for their clients to choose from. Each pricing plan comes with various perks that are unique to each plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first plan is directed at beginners and people starting their new businesses. This plan is called the Customcat Lite plan. With this plan, there are no monthly fees, and it allows you to get into the swing of things as you try to understand the platform and its offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Customcat Lite plant, you can expect to pay about $9 per T-shirt you have printed with your design. The other plan available to you is the Customcat plan. This plant has a monthly fee of $30, and it comes with a 14-day free trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose the Customcat plan, you will pay $7 per <a href=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/how-to-sell-t-shirts-without-inventory\/\">T-shirt you design and sell<\/a>. This plan is best for people who have high volume sales as you can save quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Pricing Of Printify<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/printify.grsm.io\/tshirtgrowth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"962\" height=\"832\" src=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/47928128-0500-4415-8072-76b9c157236d.png\" alt=\"Customcat vs. Printify\" class=\"wp-image-995\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/47928128-0500-4415-8072-76b9c157236d.png 962w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/47928128-0500-4415-8072-76b9c157236d-300x259.png 300w, https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/47928128-0500-4415-8072-76b9c157236d-768x664.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/printify.com\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">printify.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Printify is pretty similar to Customcat in the fact that it has plans you can choose from when you first start out. However, Printify is somewhat cheaper than Customcat in the long run. With Printify, you can go with the general plan, which is free, but you will pay about $8 per T-shirt you print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also opt for the Printify monthly premium plan, which is about $29 per month. This will also save you some money per <a href=\"https:\/\/tshirtgrowth.com\/how-to-sell-t-shirts-on-etsy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">T-shirt you design and sell<\/a>. However, Printify is different from Customcat because they don&#8217;t have one fixed price for all of their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Printify uses multiple printing companies, you have access to different price ranges depending on which printing company you choose to print your products. This can lead to further savings if you pick your printers carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparing_The_Pros_And_Cons_Of_Each_Company\"><\/span>Comparing The Pros And Cons Of Each Company<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Customcat and Printify seem like they are very similar print-on-demand platforms when you look at them from the surface level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when you go a little deeper into the details for each platform, you can see that they do have some substantial differences that could cost you more in the long term if you don&#8217;t select the right platform for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This next section will consolidate all the information you need to know about these two platforms in an easy-to-read pros and cons list.
