Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Order Desk
Route orders to whoever is printing them
Order Desk sits between the shops a creator sells on and the printers who fulfil the orders, applying rules that decide which item goes to which supplier. That matters the moment a catalogue spans two print partners or a marketplace and a storefront at once. It integrates with several hundred services rather than being tied to one. This is plumbing, and it is bought by people whose fulfilment has already become a spreadsheet.
Our note
Do the crossover sum before picking a tier, because at a few hundred orders a month Pro is already cheaper than Starter once the per-order fee is counted. Anybody still on one supplier should wait, since this is infrastructure that only earns its fee when routing gets complicated.
Teemill
Print on demand built around circular clothing
Teemill prints on organic cotton and takes the worn-out shirt back to make the next one, which is the part of it nobody else offers. The store is free to build and you pay the product cost per order, so a shop can exist before it sells anything. It is a UK operation, and the shipping offers reflect that.
Our note
The returns programme is the reason to choose Teemill over a cheaper printer, and it only pays off if your audience is the kind that will use it. Look at the base prices next to Printful's before deciding, because the margin difference is real.
