About POD Benchmark
Print-on-demand
supplier comparison,
built by a seller.
POD Benchmark is a free comparison site that shows print-on-demand sellers what the same product costs at each supplier: product price, shipping and delivery time to where their customers live.
Compare the blank you already sell, explore very similar products, and estimate what a sale leaves you on Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce or TikTok Shop.
Why we built
POD Benchmark
We’ve run our own print-on-demand brand since 2023 and grown it into a six-figure business. When our supplier raised prices one time too many, finding a new one meant opening every catalog, working out which listings were the same blank under different names, and adding up shipping country by country.
POD Benchmark is the comparison we wanted then: the same product across suppliers, with one delivered price for where your customers live. We build it around the questions a working shop actually asks.

Compare the same product across suppliers

What makes POD Benchmark different
-
Matched by product, not by listing name
Catalogs list the same blank under different names. We match on brand, model and specifications, so you compare like with like.
-
Priced to where your customers live
Shipping to the US, the UK, Germany, Australia or Canada, in local currency. The cheapest supplier in one country is often not the cheapest in another. Prices include shipping to the US, the UK, Germany, Australia or Canada, in local currency. The cheapest supplier in one country is often not the cheapest in another.
-
Unknown stays unknown
Missing shipping shows as unknown, never as free, so missing data never makes an offer look better. If we don’t have a supplier’s shipping price for a destination, the delivered total shows as unknown, never as free. Missing data never makes an offer look better.
-
Ordered by price, not by commission
Offers are sorted by price whether or not a supplier pays us a referral commission.

Free, with nothing to sign up for
Comparisons, the profit calculator and the supplier guide are free, with no account. Comparisons, the profit calculator and the supplier guide are free to use, with no account.

Frequently asked questions
Is POD Benchmark free?
Yes. Comparing products, estimating profit and using the supplier guide are free, with no account. We earn referral commissions from some supplier links.
Where do the prices come from?
From each supplier’s own catalog and shipping quotes for the destination you choose. Every offer shows when its price was last checked. They are recorded prices, not live checkout quotes.
Do suppliers pay to rank higher?
No. Offers are ordered by price. A referral commission doesn’t change where a supplier appears.
Is it really the same product at each supplier?
Exact matches share the same brand and model, or the same specifications. Similar products are listed separately as alternatives, with their differences shown.
Which countries can I compare shipping to?
The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Canada, with prices in local currency.
Does the profit estimate include all my costs?
It includes product cost, shipping and your platform’s selling fees. Taxes, ads and other business costs aren’t included, so treat it as an estimate before those.
Have you tested the print quality?
No. We don’t order or test physical products. We compare the specifications suppliers publish, like fabric, paper weight and finish.
