UPrinting vs PsPrint Compared, and the Alternative That Beats Both
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, 60+ stocks and finishes, and a 110% price match on any verified quote.
Head to head
UPrinting and PsPrint, feature by feature
| Feature |  UPrinting |  PsPrint |
|---|---|---|
| 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 in line with its trade printing roots |
| 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, no same-day option | Standard turnaround with rush upgrades, no same-day option |
| 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 | The standard commercial text and cover stocks its trade printing roots run every day, a shortlist rather than a specialty menu |
| Flyers at 1,000 | A steady everyday rate, so a 1,000 flyer run quotes about the same this week as next and you can budget it before you design it | Often the lower quote of the two on 1,000 flyers when a sale is live, and plain mid-tier money when no promotion is running |
| Flyer quantity breaks | Low minimums, so a short flyer run is a normal order rather than an exception | Low to moderate minimums, with the better unit price waiting on the larger flyer runs |
| Flyer turnaround | Standard production with paid rush tiers, no same-day option, so count the shipping days into your event date | Standard production with rush upgrades, no same-day option, and print-ready artwork is assumed on arrival |
| Flyers at 4OVER4.COM | Standard Flyers start at $57.11, printed on your pick of 60+ stocks and finishes, with a free proof on every order and same-day options on select products when the file lands by 12pm ET. Sizes, stocks and quantity breaks are on the Standard Flyers product page, and the wider lineup sits under flyers printing. | |
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 actual priority instead of the loudest ad. On flyers specifically the split is easy to read: UPrinting quotes a steady everyday rate you can budget against, PsPrint can undercut it on a 1,000 flyer run when a sale is live and charges the same mid-tier money when it is not, and neither one prints same day. That is the row where 4OVER4.COM changes the maths, because the 110% price match turns whichever of those two quotes is lower into your ceiling rather than your price, and you still get the free proof before anything runs.
Where each one wins
A fair read on both printers
Where UPrinting wins
UPrinting wins on convenience and breadth. The catalog covers business cards, flyers, postcards, banners, stickers, and booklets, minimums stay low, and the online design tool means you can go from idea to order without a designer. 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.
Where PsPrint wins
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 genuinely 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
Three more head to heads worth reading
PsPrint is not the only printer people weigh UPrinting against, and the winner changes with the job in front of you. 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 puts the 110% price match, the free proof on every order, the Coins earned on every order and the 60+ stocks and finishes up to 32pt against the UPrinting equivalents line by line. Want the same read on the other name in this comparison? The PsPrint alternative page does it for PsPrint on its own, and free samples settle any stock argument faster than three tabs of spec sheets.

Straight answers
Common Questions
Pricing, paper, product range and speed, answered straight. Browse every printing question 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 leans on its trade printing roots and is strongest on marketing prints like flyers, brochures, and postcards, especially when a sale is running. 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. 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. You also earn loyalty Coins on every order and non-profits get 25% off for life. 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 wins this category outright, with premium 16pt stock, free UV coating, and a lower per-card price, plus specialty options like Silk Laminated, Suede, and Ultra Thick 32pt across 60+ stocks.
Which is better for flyers and brochures?
PsPrint has the trade pedigree and UPrinting has the easier ordering flow, so for standard runs either will do the job. 4OVER4.COM beats both on turnaround and choice, with faster options, richer paper selections, and lower unit prices on flyers, plus crisp folds and heavier stocks on brochures. Order free samples and compare the paper in hand before committing.
Who is cheaper for flyers, UPrinting or PsPrint?
PsPrint is usually cheaper for flyers when a sale is live, and UPrinting is cheaper when one is not. Both sit in the same mid-tier band, so the gap on a 1,000 flyer run is a promotion, not a policy: PsPrint discounts hard on the marketing prints it grew up on and rewards you for waiting, while UPrinting quotes a steady everyday rate you can budget against today. Two things decide it in practice. First, quantity: PsPrint keeps improving the unit price as the run grows, so the bigger the flyer order, the more its trade printing roots pay off. Second, shipping, which is added at checkout on both sites and regularly erases the difference between the two quotes, so compare the delivered total rather than the headline price. Neither one prints same day, so a rush upgrade still costs you days on either. The cheapest route is to take whichever of those two quotes lands lower and bring it here: 4OVER4.COM promises in writing to beat any verified competitor quote by an extra 10%, so their sale price becomes your ceiling instead of your price. Standard Flyers start at $57.11 with a free proof on every order, 60+ stocks and finishes to pick from, and same-day options on select products for orders placed by 12pm ET. Check sizes and stocks on the Standard Flyers page, browse the full range under flyers printing, or order free samples and judge the paper before you spend anything.
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.
