DecoNetwork alternative
DecoNetwork is an all-in-one platform for print shops: online web stores, shop management, design tools, and supplier catalogs in one subscription. The cheapest plan is $239 a month, every plan carries a one-time license fee whose amount isn't published, and there is no trial. For one person with one machine, that's a lot of platform to buy before you know whether it fits. Broidry is order-management software for machine embroidery shops, free to start and $19 a month after.
DecoNetwork Standard is $239 a month, Premium is $339, and Enterprise is $439. Broidry's Free plan is $0 a month with the core features included, and the first paid plan is $19.
DecoNetwork's pricing page lists a one-time license fee on top of the monthly price on all three plans, and the amount isn't printed there. You'd have to ask them before you could total up your first year. Broidry publishes all four prices, there's no setup fee, and there's no contract.
DecoNetwork publishes a 14-day grace period and states that they don't offer refunds. The way to find out whether the platform fits your shop is to buy it first. Broidry's free plan is permanent and doesn't ask for a card.
Every DecoNetwork figure below comes from their own pricing page. Where they publish nothing, the row says so, which is why the license fee row has no number on it. Feature comparisons are kept out of this table on purpose: what DecoNetwork does inside the platform is theirs to describe.
| Item | DecoNetwork | Broidry |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest plan | Standard, $239 a month, plus a one-time license fee whose amount isn't published. | Free, $0 a month, with the core features included. |
| Plan ladder | Standard $239 a month, Premium $339, Enterprise $439. | Free $0, Maker $19, Shop $39, Atelier $79 a month. |
| Staff accounts | Bundled with the plan: 3 staff accounts on Standard, 5 on Premium, 25 on Enterprise. Extra staff are $10 a month each. | One person on Free and Maker. A second team seat comes with the Shop plan at $39 a month. Broidry is built for one or two people, not a staffed floor. |
| One-time license fee | Charged on every plan. The amount is not published on their pricing page. | None. There's no setup fee and no onboarding fee. |
| Free plan or trial | No trial. They publish a 14-day grace period and state that they do not offer refunds. | A permanent free plan with no card required. Broidry charges a 2% fee on payments taken through Broidry on that plan, and 1.5% on the paid plans. |
| Selling online | Online web stores are a core part of the platform, and so are the design tools customers use in them. | One shop page with your own listings, options, and prices, on every plan including Free. It's a single shop page, not a multi-store e-commerce system. |
| Supplier catalogs | Supplier catalog integration is part of the platform. | None. You enter the blanks you actually buy, with your own wholesale cost, and Broidry prices from those. |
| Who the product is built for | Their own positioning runs from "small print shops and new startups" up to multi-location operations. | Solo and two-person machine embroidery shops. |
Competitor pricing checked July 2026 from each vendor's own pricing page. Software pricing moves, so check theirs before you decide.
DecoNetwork's pricing page shows a one-time license line on all three plans without a number next to it. Third-party sites do quote figures, and we're leaving those out, because the same sites are also quoting monthly prices that are out of date. Guessing at somebody else's fee on a page like this would be worse than saying nothing.
So here is the honest version. DecoNetwork charges a one-time license fee on top of the monthly price on every plan, the amount isn't published, and you'll need to ask them what it is for the plan you're considering. Ask before you sign, because they publish a 14-day grace period rather than a trial and state that they don't offer refunds, so the first-year total is a number you want in front of you early.
Plenty of shops should pay the $239 and get a lot for it. Here's how to tell whether yours is one of them.
One person, machine embroidery, personalized work, orders arriving through whatever channel the customer happened to use. That's the whole audience, and it's why the software is shaped the way it is.
Your stitch files, your thread colors by number, and your fonts sit in one searchable library, and every finished order keeps a record of which ones went onto it. A reorder next spring is a lookup instead of a hunt through old messages. That's embroidery-specific work, and a general print shop platform has no reason to build it.
The wording, the font, the placement, and the thread color are fields the customer fills in, so they land on the order instead of staying in a Facebook message. You stitch from the order.
Broidry draws a preview on your real garment in your real threads. The customer confirms the spelling and approves it, and the approval is stored on the order with the date on it.
Etsy, Facebook, text messages, email, and your own shop page all land on the same list with a price, a status, and a due date. Order CSV files from seven selling platforms import directly.
Every paid order carries an estimated stitching time and the piece due soonest sits on top, so the queue adds up to hours rather than a count. Orders that look like they'll miss their date at your current pace get flagged.
An order reaches the stitching queue when it's paid the way you said, in full or with a deposit. Card payments through Broidry mark themselves paid, and Venmo, cash, and check payments are recorded on the order.
If you're shopping this category you'll meet these four. Prices were read from each vendor's own pricing page in July 2026.
Lite is $109 a month with two user seats as a minimum and a cap of 20 quotes or invoices a month combined. Standard is $244 a month with five seats and no cap. Premium is quoted by their sales team and the price isn't published. Extra users are $19 a month each, and the Merch add-on for an online store is another $109 a month. There's a 7-day trial with no card, and no free plan. Built for print shops.
The one genuinely free product in this set: a free plan with 20 orders a month and a single user. Paid plans are sold by seat count across nine tiers, starting at $77 a month for one user and running to $718 a month for thirty. Built for screen printing shops. If free is the requirement and 20 orders a month covers you, it belongs on your list.
Craftybase has renamed itself Stocksmith. Same team, same software. Plans are Studio $49, Indie $99, Business $199, and Growth $349 a month, with unlimited users on the paid tiers and a 14-day trial with no card. It solves a different problem than either DecoNetwork or Broidry: it's inventory and cost-of-goods software for makers building products from raw materials. Several shops run one of each.
ShopWorks doesn't publish pricing, seat counts, or trial terms anywhere on their site, so there's nothing here we can state about the cost. They describe OnSite as fitting shops doing $100,000 to $50 million a year, which is the clearest statement of scale anybody in this category prints.
DecoNetwork Standard is $239 a month, Premium is $339, and Enterprise is $439. The plans bundle 3, 5, and 25 staff accounts, and extra staff accounts are $10 a month each. Every plan also carries a one-time license fee on top of the monthly price, and the amount isn't published on their pricing page, so you'd need to ask them for it. These figures were read from deconetwork.com/pricing in July 2026.
No. DecoNetwork publishes a 14-day grace period rather than a trial, and states that they don't offer refunds. That means you sign up and pay before you find out whether the platform suits your shop. It's the single biggest practical difference for a small shop comparing options, because every other product in this category lets you look first: Printavo has a 7-day trial, Stocksmith has 14 days, Teesom has a free plan, and Broidry's free plan is permanent.
Broidry's Free plan is $0 a month and includes the core features, with a 2% fee on payments taken through Broidry and 15 orders a month that were paid outside it. Teesom also has a genuinely free plan, limited to 20 orders a month and one user, built for screen printing shops. Among the paid products, Stocksmith starts at $49 a month and Printavo at $109. ShopWorks doesn't publish a price.
DecoNetwork is an all-in-one platform for decorated apparel businesses, covering web stores, shop management, design tools, and supplier catalogs, and shops that run printing and embroidery together get real use out of all of it. What it isn't is a machine embroidery tool. The parts of a personalized embroidery order that cost you the most time are the stitch file library, the thread colors by number, the fonts, and the customer confirming the spelling before the machine runs. That's where Broidry is built and where an all-in-one print platform has no particular reason to go deep.
Work out what you'd actually use. At $239 a month you're paying for bundled staff accounts, multi-store e-commerce, and supplier catalog integration, plus a one-time license fee you have to ask for. If you're one person stitching personalized orders that come in through Facebook, Etsy, and text messages, most of that is capacity you won't touch, and there's no trial to test the theory. If you have staff, run real web stores, and quote from catalogs, the same $239 buys a platform doing several jobs at once.
The Free plan is $0 a month with the core features, a 2% fee on payments taken through Broidry, and 15 orders a month that were paid outside Broidry. Maker is $19 a month and drops the fee to 1.5%, removes Broidry's branding from your storefront and mockups, and lifts the order cap. Shop is $39 a month and adds a second team seat, a custom domain, and the marketing tools. Atelier is $79 a month for shops running more than one machine. There's no contract, no setup fee, and no cancellation fee.
Export your orders as a CSV file and upload it. Broidry recognizes the official exports from seven selling platforms on its own, and for any other CSV it asks you which column holds the customer, the item, the price, and the date, then shows you exactly what will land before anything is added. Past orders come in as history, so your customer list isn't starting from nothing.
Broidry is order-management software for machine embroidery shops. Your designs, threads, and fonts live in one searchable library. Orders from Etsy, Facebook, text, and email land on one list with a price and a due date, and the customer approves the piece before you stitch it. The Free plan is $0 a month, there's no credit card to start, and there's no contract.
