Printavo alternative: an honest comparison with Ordamo

Printavo is the closest thing on this site to Ordamo built for somebody else. It starts from the order, takes a deposit and the final payment online, shows the customer a branded approval link, logs expenses against the job and reports profit on it — the same four jobs, done for print shops. If you print, embroider or make signs, that verticality is worth paying for. If you make furniture, lighting or jewellery, you are buying a print shop's model at $109 a month and working around the parts that assume garments.

Which one is right for you

Stay with Printavo if
  • You run a print, embroidery or sign shop — every screen in it was designed for your week.
  • Approvals matter: the customer has to sign off artwork before anything is produced.
  • You want the deposit and the final payment collected online, inside the same tool.
  • Print pricing matrices — by garment, by placement, by quantity — are how you quote.
Look at Ordamo if
  • You make furniture, lighting, ceramics or jewellery, and the quoting model was built for apparel.
  • $109 a month for two users, with 20 quotes a month on the entry plan, is priced above the problem.
  • What the workshop charged for a run has to divide across the pieces it produced.
  • Your orders arrive in WhatsApp, a DM or an emailed quote rather than as artwork jobs.

We make Ordamo, so we are an interested party. What we can be is checkable: written by the people who built it for their own furniture studio in Buenos Aires, every price taken from the other side’s own page with the date we read it, and their wins listed above ours.

Why people look for a Printavo alternative

01

It is the right tool for a shop you do not run

Everything good about Printavo is downstream of one decision: it knows what a print job is. Sizes, placements, garment costs, approval before production. Take that model to a furniture studio and the useful screens turn into fields you leave blank, while the ones you need — the deposit against a piece delivered in eight weeks, what the workshop charged for the run — are the ones bent to fit.

02

$109 for two users, and 20 quotes

The entry plan carries two users and twenty quotes a month, with extra users at $19. For a print shop with staff quoting all day that is a fair price for the volume it handles. For two people taking a dozen commissions a quarter it is a bill sized for somebody else's throughput, and there is nothing smaller to move to.

03

Expenses on a job are not a batch cost

Printavo will let you log what a job cost and report profit on it, which is genuinely more than most tools do. What it does not do is take one workshop invoice for a run of six and divide it across the six orders that run covers — the arithmetic every studio does by hand, and the reason a margin looks fine per job and wrong per month.

04

Its approval link is better than our page, for artwork

A branded link where a customer signs off a mockup is the correct answer for printing, and we have nothing like it: no proofs, no versions, no sign-off. Our page answers a different question — what is paid, what is owed, when it will be ready — and if approval is the step your orders hang on, Printavo wins that comparison outright.

What is in the plan

How to switch from Printavo to Ordamo

  1. 01Export your open orders and customers from Printavo as CSV.
  2. 02Drop the file in. No template to fill — AI reads the columns for you, and nothing saves until you have seen what was found.
  3. 03Add each deposit and the date the balance is due. Printavo held the payment; the schedule is what moves here.
  4. 04Enter the batches in production. What a run cost, over the pieces it produced, is the per-piece cost.
  5. 05Keep Printavo if you still print. This is for the orders whose model never fitted it.

Where Ordamo is the wrong answer

  • Artwork and approvals. No proofs, no mockups, no sign-off flow, no version history on a design.
  • Print pricing. No matrices by garment, placement or quantity; a line and a price is the model.
  • Taking the payment. Your bank details or a payment link sit on the customer's page; the money does not move through us.
  • Invoicing. Nothing here issues a tax document; Ordamo lives beside your invoicing tool and exports what an order earned.

We are not the only answer, and pretending otherwise wastes your afternoon.

Printavo alternative: frequently asked questions

Is Printavo only for print shops?+

It is sold for screen printing, embroidery, signage and digital print, and the product is built around that: artwork approval, print pricing matrices, garment-shaped quoting. Nothing stops a furniture or jewellery studio using it, and people do — the question is how much of what you pay for applies to you, and how much of your own process you carry outside it.

What does Printavo cost?+

Lite is $109 a month with 2 users and 20 quotes a month, Standard $244 with 5 users and no quote limit, and Premium is quoted on request. Extra users are $19 a month, no annual billing is published, and the trial is 7 days without a card. Ordamo is $29 a month for the business with nothing metered. Confirm the current position on printavo.com before deciding on the strength of a number here.

Does Ordamo do artwork proofs and approvals?+

No — no mockups, no proof versions and no sign-off step. If your orders cannot start until a customer approves a design, that is a real reason to stay with a tool built for it. Ordamo's page shows the money and the date, not the artwork.

Printavo or shopVOX?+

They are direct rivals in the same vertical, both from $109 a month, and shopVOX charges per user on top while Printavo includes two. If you print, compare them against each other rather than against us. If you make furniture or jewellery, the honest answer is that both are shop-management systems for a different shop.

Does Printavo track what a job actually cost?+

It logs expenses against the job and reports profit as the total less expenses and tax, which is more than most tools in this price range. What it will not do is take one invoice for a production run and split it across the several orders that run covers, which is the arithmetic a studio ends up doing in a spreadsheet.

What is the best Printavo alternative for a furniture or jewellery studio?+

For orders with a deposit, a delivery date and a production cost, this is $29 a month and does not assume garments. For materials and cost of goods on stocked products, Craftybase starts at $20 a month and Inventora at $19. For a print shop, the answer stays inside the print vertical.

Can I bring my data across?+

Export to CSV from Printavo and import the file as it is. There is no template to fill in — the columns are read for you and you confirm what was found before anything saves. Only open orders need to come; closed history belongs in an archived export.

How do I switch from Printavo to Ordamo?+

Export open orders and customers to CSV, import the file as it comes, then add each deposit with the date the balance is due and enter the batches currently in production. Start new orders here and let the open ones finish where they are, so there is no cutover day.

Plan names, prices, the user and quote allowances, the $19 extra-user price, the absence of annual billing and the 7-day trial read from printavo.com/pricing on 9 September 2026; the deposit and final-payment wording, expense tracking against a job and the profit calculation from printavo.com and its own support pages the same day. Software pricing moves; confirm with the vendor before deciding on the strength of a figure here.

One order, from the deposit to the final balance.
