Best for a print API that routes orders to local printers
Cloudprinter is a print API that sends orders to local printers across a 50,000+ product catalog, and its Starter plan is free, with print and shipping paid per order. The Business plan is 199 euros a month through sales, and it runs as a dashboard and API only, with no desktop or mobile apps.
Who Cloudprinter is for

Who Cloudprinter is not for
- Pricey if you outgrow Starter: Business is 199 euros a month

- Watch out: print and shipping costs vary by product and country, and none are listed
Why Cloudprinter gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

Keep Cloudprinter, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cloudprinter you would be making printers that make and ship each order. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $2,667.87 a year.
What you could not
- Printers that make and ship each order.
- Suppliers who ship each order for you.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Cloudprinter’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
