Printer's Friend vs Ordant

Print MIS for estimating and ordering. Here's how we stack up.

Pick Ordant if estimating accuracy across many substrates is your hardest problem. Pick Printer's Friend if getting jobs through the shop on time is.

Ordant is estimating-led print MIS. Printer's Friend is workflow-led: the quote is the start of a production path with stages, scan-in, approvals and dispatch attached, not a document that then gets managed elsewhere.

On pricing

We publish our own pricing on the pricing page, in your currency. We do not quote Ordant's numbers here, because we have not verified them recently and a stale figure is worse than none — check theirs directly.

When Ordant is the better choice
