Printerhive is a young, EU-built cloud tool for managing a fleet of 3D printers from one dashboard. It started life as one of the first ways to fully control Bambu Lab printers remotely, and it has grown a genuinely nice commerce angle on top: an embeddable quote calculator for your website and live order import from Shopify, WooCommerce and Upgates. For a small, mostly-Bambu farm that sells custom prints, it's a tidy, well-focused option, and we mean that.
But "manage your printers" and "run a print farm at scale" aren't the same job. A farm has to run whatever printers you already own, catch failures, keep printing unattended, and stay affordable as it grows past a couple of dozen machines. That's the ground SimplyPrint has been built on since 2020, across every major printer brand. Here's a fair, side-by-side look.
Printerhive is a young (founded 2024), EU-based cloud tool whose standout strengths are an embeddable customer quote calculator and live Shopify / WooCommerce / Upgates order import. If you run a small, mostly-Bambu (or Klipper) farm that sells custom prints, stay under ~30 printers, it's a smart, honest little platform whose quote calculator and shop-order import genuinely stand out.
SimplyPrint is a farm-grade management platform that's been running print farms since 2020. It runs Bambu brilliantly, and Klipper, Prusa (fully), Marlin, Duet and OctoPrint natively too, and ships AI failure detection and AI bed-check, a full interactive cloud slicer with 7 engines, unlimited continuous printing (AutoPrint), built-in filament inventory with NFC, a maintenance system, native iOS/Android apps, enterprise SSO and an Education plan, all today. Pricing scales with volume discounts and Fair Billing well past Printerhive's 30-printer ceiling. Both are EU and GDPR-compliant, so that's a wash; the difference is breadth, depth and how far it scales.
हमेशा मुफ़्त। कोई क्रेडिट कार्ड नहीं।
The first thing a farm checks is what it can actually plug in. Printerhive is Bambu-first, with full Klipper and only basic Prusa, and every printer connects through a Raspberry Pi client you run on the network. SimplyPrint runs every major brand natively, and has since 2020.
Printerhive looks cheap at a glance, but the features a farm actually runs on, multi-printer printing, auto-assign, filament tracking and the API, are all locked to its €50 Professional tier. SimplyPrint includes them far lower, and scales with volume discounts and Fair Billing instead of hitting a wall. Here's the honest math.
Figures compare SimplyPrint's plans and are indicative as of June 2026; check each provider's current pricing page for exact numbers.
We respect what two founders have built quickly. For the right setup, Printerhive is a genuinely smart choice, and there are things it does that SimplyPrint doesn't (yet):
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 Printerhive as well!

हमने SimplyPrint इसलिए बनाया क्योंकि बाज़ार में कुछ भी हमारी ज़रूरतों के हिसाब से बिल्कुल फ़िट नहीं बैठता था। हम एक ऐसा प्लेटफ़ॉर्म चाहते थे जो इस्तेमाल में आसान हो, लेकिन फिर भी उसमें हमें चाहिए सभी फ़ीचर हों। हम एक फ़ीचर-रिच प्लेटफ़ॉर्म चाहते थे, जो सहज और इस्तेमाल में आसान हो, बढ़िया यूज़र अनुभव के साथ और 3D प्रिंट मैनेजमेंट सॉफ़्टवेयर की दुनिया में असली इनोवेशन के साथ।
कुल मिलाकर, हम, जितने विनम्र और निष्पक्ष हैं 😉, मानते हैं कि SimplyPrint प्लेटफ़ॉर्म एक बेहतरीन Printerhive विकल्प है!
