Suchst du nach Print&Go-Alternativen?

Print&Go is an EU-based (Spanish) "multi-brand 3D printing workflow software," built for manufacturers and print farms, and it does several things genuinely well: real-time fleet monitoring, AI spaghetti detection, deep production analytics, and some of the best robotic-arm (cobotics) automation in this space. If you run an industrial shop and want a robot pulling finished plates off your printers around the clock, it's a serious tool, and we mean that.

But for most print farms, two practical questions shape the decision: how your printers actually connect, and what you pay as the farm grows. That's where SimplyPrint and Print&Go diverge sharply, Print&Go routes most printers (Bambu included) through a paid hardware bridge and doesn't slice at all, while SimplyPrint connects your printers directly and ships the full toolchain. Here's a fair, sourced side-by-side.

Best known for Print farm
Das Fazit

Print&Go is a Spanish, multi-brand fleet platform aimed at industrial print shops. Its standout strengths are robotic-arm (cobotics) automation, multi-factory control and production analytics. If lights-out, robot-tended manufacturing is your number-one need, it's a capable, well-built choice.

SimplyPrint is a farm-grade platform that's been running print farms since 2020. It connects Bambu, Prusa, Klipper, Marlin, OctoPrint and Duet directly, no proprietary box on every bench, and ships a full interactive cloud slicer with 7 engines, AI failure detection and AI bed-check, the most-integrated continuous printing (AutoPrint), built-in NFC filament tools, SSO and a dedicated school plan, all today. Print&Go, by contrast, has no slicer at all, needs its €120 "Node" hardware to bring most printers online, and gates AI, API and multi-factory behind higher tiers, at flat plans that run well above SimplyPrint at the same fleet size. For the everyday work of running a farm, SimplyPrint goes wider and costs less; 2 printers are free forever.

Connect your farm without a box on every bench

Both platforms claim broad printer support, but how a printer comes online is completely different. SimplyPrint connects your printers directly. Print&Go connects most printers, Bambu included, through its own paid hardware bridge called the Node, which has to sit on the same local network as the printers.

Bambu Lab
SimplyPrint
Connect Bambu directly, with camera and full control, on a platform that's been refining Bambu farm management since 2020.
Print&Go
Supported, but Print&Go's own connection FAQ routes Bambu through the Node hardware, not Bambu's cloud, so there's a box (and a bill) between you and every machine.
The hardware tax
SimplyPrint
No proprietary hardware. Printers connect over the cloud or the free SimplyPrint Client, software only.
Print&Go
The Node is a physical IoT device at €120 + tax + shipping, and one Node handles only 2 printers over USB or ~10 over LAN. A 50-printer farm needs roughly five Nodes (€600+) before it prints a thing. Only Ultimaker (via Digital Factory) connects cloud-direct without it.
Open firmware (OctoPrint, Klipper, Marlin, Duet)
SimplyPrint
OctoPrint, Klipper/Moonraker (Mainsail/Fluidd), Marlin (incl. USB/serial), Prusa, Bambu and Duet are all natively, directly supported.
Print&Go
Print&Go names no firmware at all, no OctoPrint, Moonraker or Duet integration. Klipper and Marlin machines are reachable only as generic USB/LAN devices through the Node, not as first-class firmware.
If your farm is all-Bambu or a mix of brands, SimplyPrint brings it online directly, no Node to buy, co-locate and maintain, and it integrates the open firmware stack Print&Go doesn't name.

Pricing, honestly

Print&Go sells flat tiers with hard caps, 4, 10 or 50 printers (and 1, 5 or 25 users); to grow you jump to the next plan. SimplyPrint scales per printer with volume discounts and Fair Billing. Here's the real math, in each provider's own currency (and note the euro currently sits above the dollar, which widens the gap further).

Smallest farms
SimplyPrint
2 printers free forever, every feature included. 5 printers for $9.99/mo, and you're never locked to one seat.
Print&Go
Basic is €17.40/mo for 4 printers and a single user, no team, no AI (the spaghetti detector starts on Standard).
Around 10 printers
SimplyPrint
Print Farm plan at $39.99/mo, with unlimited AutoPrint, maintenance and shared profiles included.
Print&Go
Standard at €87.60/mo (10 printers, 5 users), roughly double, before you add the Node hardware to connect them.
At scale (50+ printers)
SimplyPrint
Per-printer price drops with volume discounts, and Fair Billing credits back printers and seats you aren't using.
Print&Go
Expert is a flat €216/mo (50 printers, 25 users) with no volume discount, plus ~five Nodes of hardware. Beyond 50 printers you're into a "contact us" Enterprise quote.
Free to try
SimplyPrint
A genuine free-forever plan (2 printers), plus a 15-20% annual discount.
Print&Go
No perpetual free plan, a 30-day trial, then you must pick a paid tier. Annual billing saves up to ~17%.
At every fleet size we checked, SimplyPrint comes in below Print&Go on software alone, and the gap widens once you add Print&Go's Node hardware and convert euros to dollars. Fair Billing means you only pay for the printers and seats you actually run.

Where Print&Go might be the better pick

Print&Go has built real strengths on the industrial end of the market, and they're worth being honest about. If these are your priority, it deserves a serious look:

Robotic (cobotics) automation
SimplyPrint
Our continuous printing (AutoPrint) automates the software side across many brands, but we don't ship a robotic-arm integration.
Print&Go
Their genuine standout: an Enterprise integration with Universal Robots cobotic arms that physically remove plates and reload printers for true 24/7 lights-out production. Few competitors match this.
Multi-factory enterprise control
SimplyPrint
We run large multi-site farms well, but cross-factory management isn't packaged as a distinct product tier.
Print&Go
Their Enterprise "Multi-factories" controls global sites from one account with cross-factory G-code sharing, neatly aimed at distributed manufacturers.
Production analytics & reporting
SimplyPrint
Built in: live statistics, per-print and per-printer cost tracking, full job history and usage reporting, all wired straight to the printers, the queue and your filament stock, so the numbers reflect what actually ran.
Print&Go
Print&Go reports well, with one edge worth naming honestly: a 365-day production-data window and KPI heat-map views. The reporting itself isn't wider than SimplyPrint's; that retention window and the heat-map presentation are the specific advantage.
If a robot arm tending an industrial Ultimaker/BCN3D line, or multi-factory enterprise control, is central to your operation, Print&Go is purpose-built for that. For the everyday work of running a farm, connecting any printer, slicing, catching failures, managing filament and scaling affordably, SimplyPrint goes wider and costs less.

Print&Go und SimplyPrint im Vergleich

Nothing is black-and-white, and there are always pros and cons to consider when choosing a 3D printing cloud solution!
And we're not here to simply tell you, that SimplyPrint is the best - we want you to make an informed decision, and of course there are pros of using Print&Go as well!

Vorteile von Print&Go

Print&Go has real strengths, and they're worth being honest about:

  • Robotic (cobotics) automation: their standout, an Enterprise Universal Robots integration where a cobotic arm physically clears plates and reloads printers for true 24/7 lights-out production.
  • Multi-factory control: an Enterprise tier to manage global sites from one account, with cross-factory G-code sharing.
  • Long analytics retention: a 365-day production-data window with KPI heat-map views, a genuine edge if you need a full year of history in one presentation.
  • AI spaghetti detection & maintenance: real-time failure detection with auto-stop (from the Standard plan), plus a per-printer maintenance system.
  • Broad brand directory & mobile apps: a large multi-brand printer list and native iOS and Android apps.

Nachteile der Verwendung von Print&Go

Where Print&Go tends to fall short for a working farm:

  • Hardware to connect: most printers (Bambu included) need the €120 Node bridge, which handles only 2 printers over USB or ~10 over LAN and must share their network. Only Ultimaker connects cloud-direct.
  • No slicer: Print&Go states plainly "we do not offer slicing functionality", you slice elsewhere and upload pre-sliced files (a Cura plugin is the only slicer send-to integration).
  • Missing farm tools: no AI bed-check, no NFC filament tags, no filament label printing, and no SSO, even on Enterprise.
  • Everything gated by tier: hard caps of 4/10/50 printers and 1/5/25 users; AI starts on Standard, and the public API, multi-factory and cobotics are Enterprise-only.
  • No native OctoPrint, Moonraker or Duet, and no perpetual free plan (30-day trial only).

Print&Go vs. SimplyPrint: häufig gestellte Fragen

Is SimplyPrint or Print&Go better for a print farm?

It depends on your priority. Print&Go is the better fit if robot-tended, lights-out manufacturing (cobotics) or multi-factory enterprise control is your number-one need. SimplyPrint is the better fit for almost everything else a farm does day to day: connecting Bambu, Klipper, Prusa, Marlin, OctoPrint and Duet directly (no hardware bridge to buy), a full cloud slicer, AI failure detection and AI bed-check, built-in filament and NFC tools, SSO, and pricing that's typically half the cost at the same fleet size. SimplyPrint has also run print farms since 2020.

Do I need special hardware to use Print&Go?

For most printers, yes. Print&Go connects the majority of printers, Bambu Lab included, through its Node, a physical IoT bridge that costs about €120 plus tax and shipping, handles only 2 printers over USB (or ~10 over LAN), and has to sit on the same local network as the printers. Only printers with a native cloud (Ultimaker via Digital Factory) connect without it. SimplyPrint needs no proprietary hardware, printers connect over the cloud or the free SimplyPrint Client.

Does Print&Go have a slicer like SimplyPrint?

No. Print&Go states plainly on its own site: "we do not offer slicing functionality, we are a software dedicated to the management of 3D printers." You slice in a desktop program first and upload the finished file (a plugin can send straight from Ultimaker Cura). SimplyPrint includes a full interactive in-browser cloud slicer across 7 engines (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer, CrealityPrint, Cura and Kiri:Moto), plus automatic headless slicing.

Is Print&Go more expensive than SimplyPrint?

At a comparable fleet size, yes. Print&Go's 10-printer Standard plan is listed at €87.60/mo, while SimplyPrint's Print Farm plan covers 10+ printers for $39.99/mo, roughly half, before you add Print&Go's Node hardware and convert euros to dollars. SimplyPrint also gives 2 printers free forever and credits back unused printers and seats with Fair Billing; Print&Go has no perpetual free plan (a 30-day trial), and grows by jumping fixed tiers (4/10/50 printers) rather than scaling per printer.

Does Print&Go support Bambu Lab, Klipper and OctoPrint?

Bambu Lab is supported, but through the Node hardware rather than Bambu's cloud. Print&Go advertises 1000+ models, but it names no firmware at all, there's no OctoPrint, Moonraker or Duet integration, and Klipper or Marlin machines connect only as generic USB/LAN devices through the Node. SimplyPrint supports Bambu, Prusa, Klipper/Moonraker, Marlin, OctoPrint and Duet natively and directly.

Does Print&Go have AI print-failure detection?

Yes, this is a genuine Print&Go feature: its AI detects spaghetti-printing in real time and can stop the printer automatically, though it's gated to the Standard plan and above. What it doesn't have is an AI bed-check that confirms the plate is clear before the next print starts, which SimplyPrint includes alongside its own AI failure detection (with optional auto-pause/cancel).

Is Print&Go a good fit for schools?

Print&Go lists education as a use case and offers basic role hierarchies (students request, staff approve), but it has no dedicated education or school plan, no classroom workflow, and no student pricing, its tiers are Basic/Standard/Expert/Enterprise. SimplyPrint has a purpose-built School plan with classes, teachers, print-queue approvals, quotas and education pricing, so it serves both farms and schools on separate plans.

Can I move my Print&Go setup to SimplyPrint without buying hardware?

Yes. SimplyPrint is software-only: printers connect over the cloud or the free SimplyPrint Client, so there's no Node (or any other box) to purchase, power and keep on the printers' network. If you're already running Bambu, Klipper, Prusa, Marlin, OctoPrint or Duet, you connect them directly and start managing them, with no per-Node hardware budget.

Does SimplyPrint do production analytics like Print&Go?

Yes. SimplyPrint includes live statistics, per-print and per-printer cost tracking, full job history and usage reporting, all tied to the actual printers, queue and filament stock. Print&Go's one genuine reporting edge is a 365-day data-retention window with KPI heat-map views; the reporting breadth itself is comparable.
