Understanding Plans & Pricing Tiers
What's included in each plan — Hobby, Maker, Starter, Pro, and Scale — and how to choose the right one for your business.
Printforge has five plans designed to grow with your business. Every account starts with a 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required.
Hobby — Free Forever
The Hobby plan gives you the core tools with generous limits:
- Cost calculator with presets
- Up to 20 active quotes with PDF export
- Up to 20 printers and 5 materials
- Up to 10 clients
- Job tracking (kanban and calendar)
- Customer upload links and quote templates
Perfect for hobby printers who handle a handful of orders each month.
Maker — $4/month ($48/year)
The Maker plan turns the free quoting workflow into a simple way to win and collect work:

Annual Billing
Save up to 25% with annual billing. You can switch between monthly and annual at any time from your billing settings. Annual plans are charged upfront for the full year.
After Your Trial
When your 14-day Pro trial ends, your account automatically moves to the Hobby plan. No charges, no surprises. All your data is preserved — you just lose access to paid features until you subscribe. Upgrade any time from Settings → Billing.
