Bold Product Options vs Infinite Options: which one?

Infinite Options (by ShopPad, ~$12.99/mo entry) is simpler, cleaner, and cheaper, but with less depth. For personalization plus product options at every price tier including a real free plan, Print It My Way ($0-$24.99/mo flat) undercuts both while adding live canvas.
