Printavo Alternative

The Printavo Alternative Built for Print Shops That Have Outgrown Their Limits

Printavo is a solid product — if you're a screen printer or apparel shop willing to pay $244/month for unlimited quotes and 5 users. But if you're running a general print shop, hitting Printavo's 20-quote Lite cap, or watching your per-seat fees climb as your team grows, you're not alone in looking for something else. Print Boss CRM was built specifically for print shops of all types. $99/month. No quote limits. No per-seat fees. Real-time production visibility Printavo doesn't offer.

Why print shops look for a Printavo alternative

The Lite plan runs out of room fast

20 quotes or invoices per month sounds like enough — until you have a busy week. Hit the cap and you're either waiting or upgrading to $244/month overnight.

The user fees add up

Lite gives you 2 users. Standard gives you 5. Every additional user is $19/month on top. A 6-person shop on Standard pays $282/month before you've added a single integration.

There's no real-time production board

Printavo has order statuses and task lists. That's not the same as a live, drag-and-drop production board that shows you exactly where every job is — design, proofing, printing, finishing, pickup — from your phone, in real time.

It's built for apparel, not general print

If your shop does offset, digital, wide format, or commercial printing, Printavo's feature set doesn't quite map to your workflow.
