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.
Sticker Mule
Custom stickers and merch printed fast
Sticker Mule prints stickers, labels, packaging and apparel on short turnarounds, and it is the name most creators reach for when a drop needs something physical in it. Free proofs before printing and free shipping on the standard products are what keep people coming back, along with turnarounds measured in days. The subscription sits alongside the printing rather than replacing it, bundling design work, discounts and free stickers each month. For merch, the per-order cost is the number that matters more than the plan.

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.
