UPrinting vs PsPrint Compared, and the Alternative That Beats Both

Marcus Chen
Marcus Chen Senior Content Strategist at 4OVER4.COM

UPrinting wins on everyday breadth and easy ordering, and PsPrint wins on trade-rooted marketing prints when a sale lands. Both sit in the middle of the market, so neither pulls clearly ahead on price or paper. 4OVER4.COM covers both lanes in one place, with 1,000+ products and 60+ stocks and finishes.

Head to head

UPrinting and PsPrint, feature by feature

Feature UPrintingUPrinting PsPrintPsPrint
Pricing Mid-range, with steady everyday rates on core products Mid-tier, with frequent sales that reward waiting for a promotion
Product range Decent breadth across cards, flyers, postcards, banners, stickers, and booklets Focused on marketing prints like flyers, brochures, postcards, and booklets
Paper and finishes Standard gloss and matte tiers with some specialty upgrades Standard commercial stocks
Minimums Low minimums on most everyday products Low to moderate minimums, with better unit prices on larger runs
Shipping Standard turnaround with paid rush tiers Standard turnaround with rush upgrades
Design tools Online design tool plus a template library Templates and file setup guides aimed at print-ready artwork
Support Responsive support geared to small business customers Trade-style support that assumes some print experience
Flyer stocks Gloss or matte text weights on the flyer product page, with the heavier cover upgrade pulled from the same standard tiers Standard commercial text and cover stocks, a shortlist rather than a specialty menu
Flyers at 4OVER4.COM Standard Flyers run from 50 pieces to 25,000, in 9 sizes on 7 paper stocks, and the wider flyers printing range holds the other flyer types.

Both are established printers with long track records, and both live in the middle of the market. UPrinting was built for small businesses that want one account for many products. PsPrint grew out of trade printing and shows it on bulk marketing runs. The table sticks to what each company is known for, so you can match the printer to your priority.

Where each one wins

A broad online catalog against a trade tier

UPrinting: breadth and small minimums

UPrinting wins on convenience and breadth. The catalog covers business cards, flyers, postcards, banners, stickers, and booklets, minimums stay low, the online design tool gets you from idea to order without a designer, and paid rush tiers cover a tight date. Pricing is steady rather than sale-driven, which makes budgeting predictable for repeat orders. If you want one mid-range printer for a mixed bag of small business jobs, UPrinting is the easier default of the two.

PsPrint: the sale price on a standard job

PsPrint wins when the job looks like a classic marketing run. Its trade printing roots show on flyers, brochures, postcards, and booklets, where larger quantities bring the unit price down, and its frequent sales can make a well-timed order cheap. The catalog is narrower and the experience assumes you arrive with print-ready artwork, but for a straightforward bulk marketing print at a promotional price, PsPrint earns its spot on the shortlist.

Keep the shortlist honest

How UPrinting compares to other printers

Other comparisons for the same jobs

The better printer changes with the job. If the run is flyers, postcards or booklets in the thousands, open UPrinting vs PrintPlace, because PrintPlace sits in the same bulk marketing lane as PsPrint and the quantity break is where the money actually moves. If the order is business cards and the per-card price matters more than catalog breadth, read the GotPrint comparison, since GotPrint prices tight on cards and hands you less choice on stocks and finishes. If you have already settled on UPrinting as your baseline and only want to know what switching buys you, the UPrinting alternative breakdown sets price match, proofs, loyalty Coins and paper stocks against the UPrinting equivalents line by line. For the same read on PsPrint alone, the PsPrint alternative page does it, and free samples settle any stock argument faster than three tabs of spec sheets.

Marketing print questions

Common Questions

Six answers on price, business cards, flyers and turnaround across the three printers. The rest is on our FAQs hub.

Is UPrinting better than PsPrint?

It depends on the job. UPrinting carries a wider everyday catalog, so one account covers cards, flyers, banners, stickers, and booklets. PsPrint is strongest on marketing prints like flyers, brochures, and postcards. For a single bulk marketing run, PsPrint is a fair pick. For a mix of products, UPrinting is the more convenient of the two.

Is PsPrint cheaper than UPrinting?

They sit in the same mid-tier band, so the answer moves with promotions. PsPrint runs frequent sales that can undercut UPrinting on flyers, brochures, and postcards if you time the order, and its unit price keeps falling as a flyer run grows. UPrinting keeps steadier everyday pricing without the wait. On both sites, check shipping at checkout, because it can erase the difference between the two quotes.

Is there a cheaper alternative to both UPrinting and PsPrint?

Yes. 4OVER4.COM promises in writing to beat any verified competitor quote by an extra 10%, so a UPrinting or PsPrint quote becomes your ceiling, not your price. Compare the UPrinting alternative and the PsPrint alternative breakdowns for the details.

Who prints better business cards, UPrinting or PsPrint?

Both print solid standard cards on common stocks. Neither specializes in premium finishes, so the gap shows once you want more than gloss or matte. 4OVER4.COM lists 73 stocks for its standard business cards, from 13pt to 80pt with linen, kraft, soft touch and metallic among them, and Silk Laminated, Suede and Ultra Thick cards run as their own product lines.

Which is better for flyers and brochures?

PsPrint is built around marketing runs and UPrinting has the easier ordering flow, so for standard runs either will do the job. 4OVER4.COM prints brochures flat or half folded on four stocks, from 70# uncoated text to 14pt gloss cover, and can perforate them for a tear-off coupon. Order free samples and compare the paper in hand before committing.

Does UPrinting or PsPrint offer same-day printing?

No. Each one ships on standard production timelines, with paid rush upgrades that still cost you days. 4OVER4.COM runs same-day options on select products for orders placed by 12pm ET, and holds a 99.8% on-time delivery rate.
