Zazzle is WAY better. I've been on it for 1 day and love it more already.
1) Sign up is easier. I remember having a little trouble signing up
2) It's connected to twitter. You can tweet after you create a new item.
3) You can have more than one of each item in a store
4) You can type words onto an item
5) You can change the models.
6) Bags have more variety. On cp, there's only 2 bags. On zazzle, there's a bunch.
7) You can make a panel to promote your store.

I'm another convert to zazzle following CP's foolish and greedy 10% commission changes. CP - RIP - 1999-2009. In life, offered a lousy looking website, with cheesy graphics catering for the whole family (see the banner graphic on their communities page to see what I mean...*pukes*), helping struggling artists, photographers, and graphic designers, plus the occasional stay at home mum with MS paint designs the opportunity to get a little extra money each month. Killed off after a bitter war with other POD services, or destroyed by their own greed, offering a 10% commission in the marketplace and having people pay to use there shitty service. Not to mention piss poor t-shirt printing. When the business sank in late 2009, the CEO and founder of Cafepress Fred Durham was found in his office at cafepress towers smearing his own crap on the wall, daubing in massive letters 'TEN PERCENT!' and 'I'm not mad, i'm not mad, i'm not mad' repeated over and over. Days later he was found in a puddle of his own piss, broke, huddled in the corner of homeless shelter. Around a year later, a gang of ex-cafepress stay-at-home moms tracked him down to a lone wood hut in the Forrest. He was tortured, molested with sigg bottles and crap tiles coasters and then murdered with a rope made of old cafepress t-shirts that was tied to his balls and their station wagon. ...Damn, this could almost be a twilight zone episode. There is a moral to the story though, one which cafepress needs to learn from quick. Don't rip off your shopkeepers, and don't rip off your customers. The June 1st changes do just that. They are picking pockets right left and centre and it WILL bring them down. Zazzle is the future, cafepress is dead.

Yep, Zazzle. I would have said cafepress a few months back, but now, hell no!! I like many have been affected by their lovely changes which from JUNE 1st see the shopkeepers robbed of well earned profits. Yes, robbed. Cafepress will deny it. In fact they're staying quiet and hoping any bother from the people that make cafepress what it is (soon to be what it was) will silently hush-hush and go away. The truth of the matter is, cafepress are increasing how much they take from a sale in the marketplace and reducing the earned amount of the designers/artist/photographers. The tip is not to all hush-hush and accept these chances but to voice your opposition to what is undeniably wrong. Reverse these changes cafepress or lose. Vive la Zazzle! It's free, you get a fair deal with profits, it's easy to use, and lastly they don't have the image/bad press problem that cafepress currently has. Use zazzle, shop at zazzle... yet avoid, I repeat avoid cafepress like the plague and let the greedy morons sink their own damn business.

What I like about Zazzle is that they offer sneakers, ties, T-Shirts, mug & art. You have freedom with your designs, the opportunities to pick and choose your text designs to put on your merchandise, some of the text images are really cool! They give you a nice template for your site which looks really professional for free.

I prefer Zazzle over CafePress because I don't have to hold my nose to block the stench of greed at Zazzle, like I was forced to do to at CafePress. Zazzle supports the storekeepers, CafePress picks their pockets.

I love Zazzle! Great service and it's FREE! I also like the way I can have my products on squidoo, my blog and updates in twitter.

If you are going to compare the Free Basic Cafepress shop with Zazzle, then Zazzle rules.

BleuMoonsAttic says:
Yes Zazzle is better than Cafepress! Money speaks louder than words. I have two CP stores that have been up for about 10 months. I recently, about 3 months ago, put up a Zazzle store with the same items as my CP store. The one Zazzle store is outperforming both CP stores. And of course being FREE is a big plus!!!

Zazzle all the way. I've bought and designed using both and zazzle defintiely has the edge on variety of products and quality of their printing.

Zazzle offers royalty payments with Paypal, which is the only way for international sellers to get paid. I had very few sales with Cafe Press even after a year had passed, but they are already coming in steadily after a only few weeks on Zazzle.

As a buyer I like zazzle better for only one reason. It loads way way faster for me than cafepress on both ff and ie.

I haven't tried the Zaz but from what I've read about why they are better...
CP has the same.

zazzle is awesome. I find it easy to figure out and love all the variety. And all the money I earn. I have been selling for almost 2 years and can't believe people all over the world are buying my products! Wow.

GypsyOwl says:
I make more on CafePress (but, have been with them over 3 years), I like Zazzle better already. Easier to design and lets customer personalize what ever they want! Also, much better and easier affiliate program :D wish everyone would make it so easy. Alas, I will keep both, I am already getting traffic to Zazzle from my CafePress site.

I only have CF shops for the moment, but the more I read about it, the more I want to get a Zazzle account. More choice, and more images. It really irritates me that CF will not allow more than one product typer per store. More membership money off course...

CP has a marketing deal with Twilight to make Twilight designs official fan merch, rather than risking copyright infringement, so it's CP for me!

I vote for cafepress because I earn more from cafepress. However, I am getting into Zazzle too.

I just don't like the customization on Zazzle. It's not as seller friendly in some aspects...it takes a long time to get a lot of products on there, whereas with CP you can bulk add in a snap. My two cents.

I have shops on both CP and Zazzle but CP has always performed way better for sales, they have a great marketplace with lots of customers and also a well developed affiliate program.

I make more on CafePress too. But then again, Zazzle has keyrings.

EelKat says:
I have been on CafePress longer than Zazzle and have made more money because CafePress ALWAYS let you set your own commision (Zazzle only started doing it for the Christmas season 2007... CafePress had the option like 7 years ago.)
Plus CafePress has some pretty cool products that Zazzle doesn't have: tiles, jewlery boxes, dog shirts, clocks, pillows, etc.
Both are good though, so I use them boh.

Only CafePress offers a GREAT bonus program
Customized Premium Shops are MUCH easier to work than Zazzle galleries
The forums on CafePress are unbeatable
I'm making way more $$$ on CafePress than on Zazzle

What you say is true, and I don't want to slam Zazzle, but they do not offer the option of determining which shirts a design is sold on. That's important to me, as some of their shirts are made in the USA, ethically, and some aren't.
I won't sell shirts made in sweatshops, and because Zazzle won't allow me to make that restriction, I cannot ethically sell shirts at Zazzle, and have to use Skreened and CafePress instead. Try out Skreened!

I wish that I could make more than one product at a time on Zazzle. It takes way too long to set up my designs.

It's not you, it's me. I just don't get a warm fuzzy feeling from Zazzle.

Even thoug Zazzle is technically better than Cp, Cp is still the top contender.
It generate more sales and traffic than zazzle.

You don't have a third option--which you did cause I'd take it. I think they both rock...but I will say that Zazzle isn't "better" so much as they are both better at certain things.
Zazzle rocks because of...
-Custimization (customers can change the design) and use templates
-Your own free shop with SECTIONS! (Yeah!)
-Awesome feedback options--letting the customer keep favorites, join fan clubs, leave comments, and rate products builds a relationship between customer and artist--LOVE THAT.
-More flexibility in design
-More shirt styles, more mug styles, and more bag styles!
-ROUND STICKERS (can't say how much I love the round stickers)
-Keychains
-Ties
But CafePress has..
Lower prices on most items and much lower shipping on almost everything.
Muct easier way to add a design to a lot of products at once.
Tile coasters, boxes, and plaques (I love the tile boxes) and ornaments (love those too!), teddy bears, pillows, clocks.
A lot more designs available to shop through in the marketplace(though that may change)
But THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY PRINT ON DEMAND MARKETS OUT THERE!
ArtsCafe.com offers free storefronts that rock, 100s of products neither CafePress or Zazzle, and prices that will AMAZE you. Like all places it has it drawbacks. It's a harder learning curve as a shopkeeper because they are relatively new and don't have as many good help-files to learn from. Shipping takes forever. But hey, it only costs $3 freaking dollars! And if you go for a payed shop you get an even lower base price on your products, free shipping, and ability to offer coupons for your store and yours alone!
And then there's...
Printfection.com
OK, so they mainly only have t-shirts, but they have SO MANY MORE COLORS of shirts there, and the quality of the printing is AWESOME. You have fully customizable shops. Its easier to add products than Zazzle, but you still have some ability to move your design around on the T-shirt and resize it if you want to.
So, I think it just depends what you want to do.

there's one MAJOR thing that zazzle lacks that CP has. the ability to customize. that's something that just HAS to be fixed before zazzle can really be called top dog.
in response to the free thing on CP...it's $60 a year...you can sell less than 10 shirts and pay for the service...not such a bad price.
Sure Zazzle has better products, but you can only create one product at a time and you can't shop by design...which customers prefer.
