Intelligent Mockups vs Static Templates

Printful Gives You Templates.Recific Gives You Brand Intelligence.

Printful's mockup generator uses the same static templates for every brand. Recific's AI researches your company first, then creates mockups that actually understand your business.

Printful Mockups

  • Same template for all brands
  • No brand understanding
  • Limited to their catalog
  • Print-focused, not brand-focused

Recific AI Mockups

  • AI researches each brand
  • Industry-aware designs
  • Unlimited creative possibilities
  • Brand-first approach

Why Printful's Mockup Generator Falls Short

Printful was built for printing, not branding. Their mockup generator treats every business like a generic t-shirt company.

Print-First Mentality

Printful's mockups are designed to showcase products, not brands. They focus on the t-shirt, not the company wearing it.

One-Size-Fits-All

The same mockup template gets used whether you're a law firm, a gaming company, or a wellness brand. No brand intelligence.

Limited Creativity

Stuck with their product catalog and template designs. Can't create custom, brand-appropriate mockups that stand out.

What if mockups understood your brand story?

Recific's AI analyzes your company, industry, and audience before creating any mockup. Every design tells your brand's story.
