Inkybay alternatives: print accuracy versus three dimensions
The short answer
Inkybay is the print-shop choice: DTF, screen print, DTG, sublimation and embroidery, with print-area control, dynamic pricing by size and colour, and production files in every format a press needs. It also charges no commission, and its entry plan is the cheapest paid plan on this whole shelf. Buy it if you print. Custivo is the alternative when the product is an object rather than a garment — when the customer wants to rotate it, place it at true scale in their room, or try it on where it is worn — and when you sell on more than one platform.

Where Inkybay is the better answer
Every printing method, handled properly
DTF, screen print, DTG, sublimation and embroidery each behave differently, and Inkybay knows the difference. Print-area control, colour separation and multi-format export are the parts that decide whether an order arrives right.
The lowest entry price on the shelf
Its first plan is the cheapest here by a distance, with a trial longer than anyone else's. For a shop testing whether customization sells at all, that is the lowest-risk way to find out.
Pricing that changes with the design
Price generated from the chosen colours, sizes and options — the way a print shop actually quotes. Our pricing follows product options, not ink coverage.
Where Custivo is the better answer
A product with a shape
Custivo shows real geometry the customer turns over, places in their room through AR, and tries on where it is worn. Inkybay's listing describes live preview on a printable surface.
Storefronts beyond Shopify
The same scenes run on ikas, Wix, Salla and any other store through a script tag.
Plans that grow with the catalogue, not the order count
Inkybay's lower tiers cap orders per month, so a good month can force an upgrade. Ours cap scenes, so a busy month costs nothing extra.
So which one
Both lists are honest. If the left column describes your store, install the other app — you will be happier and we would rather you found that out here than after a month of trying.
Choose Inkybay if
You are a print shop and print quality is the product.
You need price to follow ink, size and print sides.
You want the cheapest possible way to find out whether customization sells for you.
Choose Custivo if
The product is manufactured rather than printed, and its shape is the sales argument.
You want AR or camera try-on.
Your order count is unpredictable and you do not want a good month to trigger an upgrade.
Switching from Inkybay
Only sensible if your range has moved from printed goods to manufactured ones. Print configurations do not transfer; 3D models import untouched. For a shop that does both, running Inkybay on the printed range and Custivo on the rest is a real answer rather than a hedge.
Your glTF and GLB models import as they are — the modelling work is not repeated.
The same scenes run on Shopify, ikas, Wix, Salla and any other storefront through a script tag.
The trial is long enough to rebuild one product and compare the two side by side before you cancel anything.
