The report card
Best for product customisers and 3D configurators for online shops
Zakeke adds a visual product customizer, 3D configurator and AR viewer to your store, from $59 a month billed annually. Starter publishes only 10 products, a 1.5% to 1.9% fee applies to each customized product sold, and extra sales channels cost more.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $59 a month billed annually ($69.90 monthly) is above the category's dearer quarter of $41.66, and a fee per sale comes on top. Grow is $110 and Scale $255. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day free trial with no card needed. Nothing stays free. |
| Features | B | Customizer, 3D configurator, AR viewer, virtual try-on and AI Agent Studio. The product caps are limits of plan size rather than missing features. |
| Ease of use | C | You set up each customizable product and connect your store. No store rating is on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Shopify, BigCommerce, Adobe Commerce, PrestaShop, OpenCart, Shopware, Etsy and Amazon. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Zakeke is for
- Fits if you sell personalized or engraved products that need print-ready files
- Works for brands that want a 3D configurator or AR viewer
Who it is not for
- Tight if you sell many products, since Starter publishes 10, Grow 50 and Scale 100
- Pricey if you sell a lot, because 1.5% to 1.9% is taken on each customized product sold
- Skip it if you want one price, as adding channels costs $49.90 a month on Grow and Scale
- Watch out: manual orders cost $0.50 each, and the Powered by Zakeke label stays until Grow
Good to know
Good for
- Stores selling personalized or engraved products that need print-ready files
- Brands that want a 3D configurator or AR viewer alongside customization
Worth knowing
- A per-sale fee of 1.5% to 1.9% applies to customized products on top of the monthly price, and it does not apply to the 3D/AR viewer.
- Starter publishes only 10 customizable products; Grow and Scale raise that to 50 and 100.
- Adding sales channels costs $49.90 a month extra on Grow and Scale, and manual orders cost $0.50 each.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Zakeke you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 38 of the 70 other print-on-demand and dropshipping services grade higher. It costs $708 a year.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, BigCommerce and Adobe Commerce among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Zakeke’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.
