About printcompare.co

We test photo book services so you do not have to. Independent rankings, transparent methodology, honest reviews.

Who We Are

printcompare.co is an independent photo album comparison site. We order, test, and rank photo book services based on 6 objective criteria — so you can find the right one without spending hours researching.

We are published by SIA Better Commerce, a digital media company based in Riga, Latvia. Our editorial team has backgrounds in photography, product design, and e-commerce. We launched printcompare.co in 2026 as part of a network of localized comparison sites covering photo book services across Europe and North America.

Our network includes top5albumsphoto.fr (France), top5albumesfotos.com (Spain), top5fotobuch.de (Germany), top5albumfoto.it (Italy), top5fotoboek.nl (Netherlands), and top5fotobog.dk (Denmark).

Our Mission

The photo book market is confusing. Dozens of services, wildly different prices, inconsistent quality, and marketing that makes every brand sound like the best. We believe consumers deserve transparent, side-by-side comparisons based on actual testing — not sponsored placements.

Our goal is simple: help you pick the right photo book service in under 5 minutes.

How We Test and Score

Every photo book service in our rankings goes through the same evaluation process. We upload the same set of test photos, order a physical book, and evaluate the result on 6 weighted criteria:

20%
Print Quality
Color accuracy, resolution, paper weight, ink consistency
15%
Customization
Cover options, layouts, themes, text, illustrations
20%
Ease of Use
Editor quality, upload speed, mobile experience, time to order
15%
Value for Money
Base price, extras, shipping costs, what you get for the price
15%
Delivery
Shipping speed, packaging quality, international availability
15%
Customer Reviews
Trustpilot scores, review volume, common complaints, support quality

Each service receives a weighted score out of 10. We re-test and update our rankings at least every quarter, or whenever a service makes significant changes to pricing, features, or quality.

Our Relationship with Souvence

Full transparency: Souvence is operated by SIA Better Commerce, the same company that publishes printcompare.co. We disclose this because we believe you have the right to know.

Despite this relationship, our testing methodology is applied identically to every service. Souvence is scored using the same 6 criteria and the same weighted formula as Shutterfly, Mixbook, Artifact Uprising, and every other brand in our rankings. We do not inflate scores or suppress competitor ratings.

If a competing service scores higher than Souvence on any criterion, we report it honestly. You can see individual sub-scores for every brand in our full rankings and Souvence review.

We also earn affiliate commissions when you purchase through links on our site. This does not affect our scores or rankings. See our full disclaimer for details.
