Easify vs Avis Product Options: which one?
Easify Product Options markets 26 option types on its site, so it is the pick if you need many different field types. Avis Product Options puts its weight on a tidy admin and a clean look on the product page. Both are budget-friendly options apps.
If you also want a live preview on the product image, a Free plan for your first product and flat pricing with no per-sale fee, Print It My Way ($0 to $24.99/month) is the third app worth testing. Personalization is saved on the order as line-item properties, which POD partners such as Printful, Printify and Gelato can read.
Step-by-step setup
- List the fields you need. Write down every input your best-selling product needs, such as "Name (12 characters)", "Thread color" and "Gift wrap: Yes/No". Easify lists 26 option types; Avis covers the core types with a cleaner interface.
- Compare current pricing. Both are budget-friendly. Check each Shopify App Store listing for the current plans and any usage limits.
- Test a Free plan alongside them. Print It My Way's Free plan covers your first product with no credit card, and paid plans run from $7.99 to $24.99/month flat.

Feature lists only get you so far. The fastest way to choose is to build the same product in each app:
- Pick one real product and write down its fields, such as a name, a font and a gift box add-on.
- Install each app on a development store or your live store with the app hidden.
- Build the product, including any add-on fees.
- Place a test order on your phone and open it in the Shopify admin. Check that every answer appears on the order line, readable by your fulfillment team.
- Time how long the setup took. That is a good guide to how the app will feel with 50 products.

What it costs over a year
Monthly prices change, so check each listing on the day you decide. As a rule of thumb, compare the full yearly cost at your expected order volume rather than the entry price. For Print It My Way the numbers are fixed:
| Print It My Way plan | Monthly | 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 |
| Basic | $7.99 | $95.88 |
| Pro | $13.99 | $167.88 |
| Unlimited | $24.99 | $299.88 |
There is no per-sale fee on top. If an app takes a percentage of each order, add that to its yearly total before you compare.
Worked example: a candle shop
A candle shop wants a custom label with a name, a choice of three scents and an optional gift box at $4. That is one text field, one dropdown and one checkbox with a fee. Any of the three apps can do it.
The choice comes down to the extras. If the shop wants buyers to see the name on the label before they buy, a live preview matters, which points to Print It My Way. If it later adds a date picker for event candles and a color picker for wax, Easify's wider field list helps. If the owner mainly wants a calm admin to manage a small range, Avis fits.

Common mistakes
- Choosing on field count alone. Most stores use four or five field types. Check that the ones you need work well.
- Skipping the order check. If your printer cannot read the personalization on the order, nothing else matters.
- Building variants for free-text input. Names and messages belong in fields saved as line-item properties.
- Not testing on mobile, where long forms are hardest to fill in.
