Sign Customiser is built for sign shops: an AI Sign Designer that turns an upload into a priced sign design, pricing per letter and by letter position, ten live sign types, lit neon previews and a flat monthly plan with no cut of every sale. See how the two compare for selling signs online. - AI Sign Designer - Per letter and by position - Flat plan, no sales fee Works on - shopify - wordpress - woocommerce - wix - etsy - Custom API [Start your free 7-day trial](/install/) Contact sales ## At a glance Based on currently published information. ![Sign Customiser](/brand/sign-customiser-lockup-ramp.svg) Zakeke AI sign design Upload to priced sign Vectors, imagery, 3D Sign types 10 live types None named Sign pricing Per letter, position, length, area Rules, Grow and up Sales fee None 1.5% to 1.9% 40 signs at $300 $199/mo $333.90/mo Zakeke has pricing rules on Grow and up; Sign Customiser has them on every plan, with per-letter, position, length and area pricing. Zakeke has no AI Sign Designer. At 40 signs a month averaging $300, Zakeke Grow costs $333.90 on monthly billing ($129.90 plus 1.7%). Growth 40 is $199, with no sales percentage. ## The shortanswer Sign Customiser is the better choice for selling signs. Its AI Sign Designer turns a customer's upload into a priced design for an LED neon, channel letter, metal cut-out, stencil or lightbox sign, checked for that sign type before the customer sees it. Zakeke has no AI sign designer: its AI Vectorizer makes vector art, and its AI Agent Studio makes product imagery, video and 3D models. Pricing is the second gap. Sign Customiser prices per letter, sets a different price for each letter position, so early letters can be free, and prices by letter path length or frame area. Zakeke's sign page shows rule-based pricing only, and its plans add 1.5% to 1.9% of each item sold. If you sell eyewear, apparel or gifts with 3D, AR and virtual try-on, Zakeke's range is a real strength. ## Sign Customiser is alreadyproven at scale Merchants worldwide 700+ In sales processed $75M+ Countries served 100+ Shopify rating from 36 reviews 4.9 ## Side-by-sidefeature comparison What each app offers sign sellers today, from sign types and pricing to production files.

It opens in the customiser with a live price and an SVG file, and neon designs show as lit tubes. Zakeke's AI Vectorizer makes vector art and its AI Agent Studio makes product imagery, video and 3D models. Neither makes a priced sign design. - ### Per letter and by letter position Price per letter, or set a different price for each letter position, so the first letters can be free.
