Short answer. If you own a shop that decorates shirts, hats and bags with one to five people, the work splits five ways: quoting and tracking orders from art approval to pickup, cleaning up a customer's blurry logo, answering the phone, asking for reviews, and keeping the shop in front of local teams. Printavo and DecoNetwork are built for decorators and cover the first. Vectorizer.AI covers the second, Goodcall the third, NiceJob the fourth. Wanna helps with the fifth. The six are alphabetical, not scored.
How we chose
Each vendor's own pages describe work a decorating shop does, or a general tool an owner could use. We read the pages on 12 Nov 2026 (Wanna's on 13 Nov) and ran none of these tools except Wanna.
The six
| Tool | What it does | Price, read 12 Nov 2026 | Honest minus |
|---|---|---|---|
| DecoNetwork | Software for garment decorators: quotes, orders, online stores, artwork and production. Its page names screen printing, embroidery, DTG, DTF, transfer and sublimation | Standard €239 a month, 3 staff accounts, 1 online store. Premium €339 a month, 5 staff accounts, with a limited-time €99 first month. Enterprise €439 a month, 25 staff accounts. Each is plus a one-time license whose amount the page does not list | Priced in euros on the page we read. No free trial is listed, and the FAQ says refunds are not offered. The page lists a 14-day grace period from sign-up |
| Goodcall | An AI phone agent that answers your calls. One phone number counts once a month as a unique customer; minutes are not metered | Starter $79 a month for 100 unique customers, then 79 cents each. Growth $129 for 500, then 26 cents. Scale $299 for 2,000, then 15 cents. A free demo agent; you pay when you connect a number | A general phone agent, not decorator software: its home page shows it taking a caller's details, booking an estimate and sending the lead to a CRM, but nothing on order status or your price list for shirts. Starter allows 1 team member and keeps 30 days of call history |
| NiceJob | Review requests by text and email, social proof, social sharing. Pro adds Repeats, Referrals, Broadcasts and AI Replies | Starter $95 a month. Pro $135 a month, billed monthly. No contract, 14-day free trial | Reviews and marketing only: no quotes, no art approval, no order list. Its own sites add-on is $99 a month plus a $199 setup fee |
| Printavo | Order and production software for print shops: quotes and invoices, artwork approvals, order statuses, automations | Lite $109 a month: 2 users, 20 quotes or invoices a month, 5 automations. Standard $244: 5 users, unlimited quotes and invoices, 15 automations, shipping labels. Premium: "Contact Sales". Billed monthly | Lite stops at 20 quotes or invoices a month. Printavo Merch, its web store add-on, is $109 a month more on Standard. A free 7-day trial is on the page |
| Vectorizer.AI | Turns a picture, such as a customer's low-resolution logo, into a vector file. Its API lists SVG, PDF, EPS, DXF and PNG output | Web App Unlimited: €8.99 a month, billed monthly, cancel anytime. The page shows euros by default | A subscription is personal and cannot be shared. Fees are non-refundable. A person must still check the result before it goes to a screen or a stitch file |
| Wanna | Reads your website, proposes the week's tasks, drafts posts, ads and letters; ads wait for your OK, while posts wait unless you choose Autonomous | Smart $10 a month, Sharp $20, Genius $50, Scale $150 for up to 5 companies. You bring your own Claude or ChatGPT plan as the engine (pricing, read 13 Nov 2026) | Early: see live for the current count of companies and paying customers. Not shop software: no quotes, no art approval, no digitizing, no phones, and no case study from a decorating shop |
By job
Quotes, art approval and the order list: Printavo and DecoNetwork. Customer artwork: Vectorizer.AI for the logo. Missed calls: Goodcall. Review requests and repeat-customer reminders: NiceJob. Local posts and offers, such as a team-order deadline: Wanna, which works from your website and needs no shop software; an offer waits for your OK. Related: print and sign shops and local service businesses.
What Wanna is and is not
Wanna drafts. Applications and ads wait for your OK, while posts wait unless you choose Autonomous, and sending is off for every new company until you turn it on (Trust). We have no custom apparel shop results to show. Wanna does not quote an order, approve artwork, digitize a design, run a production board, answer a call or ask for a review.
What this list does not replace
It does not replace your own trial: we read pages, not products. No tool here replaces the person at the press or the embroidery machine, the proof your customer signs, or your eye on ink, thread and garment before a run. Trademark and copyright questions on customer art stay with you. Before you give a vendor your customers' names and numbers, ask for its written terms; we did not check them.

FAQ
What is the best software for a screen printing shop? We do not rank them. The By job section sorts the six by task, and the table gives each price as the vendor shows it. Printavo and DecoNetwork are the two whose pages are about running a decorating shop; we ran neither, so take a trial or demo on a real order.
How much does screen printing shop software cost? Printavo shows $109 a month for Lite and $244 for Standard; DecoNetwork shows €239 a month for Standard plus a one-time license. Add-ons and onboarding change the total; Printavo's Premium shows no price.
What software do embroidery shops use to track orders? DecoNetwork's page names embroidery among the work it supports, and Printavo lists order statuses and artwork approvals. We tested neither on an embroidery job.
Can AI turn a customer's logo into a vector file? Vectorizer.AI converts an image to a vector, from €8.99 a month. Check the result before it goes to a screen or a stitch file.
Can AI answer the phone for my print shop? Goodcall is an AI phone agent, from $79 a month. It answers calls and can book an estimate, but we saw nothing about order status or a shirt price list, and we ran it on no shop's calls.
Can AI send review requests to my customers? NiceJob lists review requests by text and email from $95 a month. Wanna does not send review requests.
Can AI write posts and offers for my apparel shop? Wanna drafts posts, ads and letters; ads wait for your OK, and sending is off until you turn it on. We did not test it on an apparel shop.
Do I need shop software if I use Wanna? Yes. Wanna does not quote orders, approve artwork or track production.
