Spreadshirt vs Redbubble

Spreadshirt is a global print-on-demand (POD) platform that empowers individuals, creators, and businesses to design, sell, and buy custom apparel and accessories.

Known for its flexibility, Spreadshirt provides an easy-to-use design tool where users can upload artwork, add text, or choose from a vast library of pre-made graphics to personalize T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and more.

What sets Spreadshirt apart is its dual approach: users can order items for personal use or open their own online shop to sell designs worldwide without managing inventory, printing, or shipping. Spreadshirt handles production, logistics, and customer service, allowing sellers to focus on creativity and marketing.

Redbubble is a global print-on-demand marketplace giving independent artists and designers a platform to sell their work on a wide range of products — from apparel, stickers, phone cases, wall art, home decor, to accessories.

Founded in Melbourne in 2006, it connects over 700,000 creatives worldwide with millions of customers seeking unique, artist-driven designs.

Artists maintain full control over pricing, copyrights, and which products display their art. The platform handles production, fulfillment, shipping, and customer service, so creators can focus on designing.
