Honest comparison

Printer's Friend vs DecoNetwork

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.

Printer's Friend vs DecoNetwork: questions

Can I move my DecoNetwork order history across?
Yes. Export customers, products and orders to CSV and we map them into Printer's Friend during onboarding. Historical orders stay searchable and reorderable.
Is Printer's Friend cheaper than DecoNetwork?
Compare the whole cost rather than the headline. Their published plans start at GBP 239 a month plus a one-time license fee, with some features sold as add-ons. Ours is one monthly price with no license fee and no per-order fee. Check their current figures before deciding.
Do I need a sales call to start?
No, and neither do they; both products have self-serve signup. The difference is that we publish a free trial and they do not state one on their pricing page.
