Redbubble vs TeePublic — FAQs
Should I sell on Redbubble or TeePublic in 2025?▾
Both. The best POD sellers upload to both platforms simultaneously using automation tools like Octozia. Redbubble's massive traffic produces more passive sales; TeePublic's lower competition makes it easier for new designs to rank. Uploading to one platform only means leaving money on the table.
Which platform pays more per sale?▾
It depends on the product and your pricing. TeePublic typically pays a fixed $3-5 per T-shirt sale. Redbubble lets you set your margin — sellers who price aggressively can earn more per sale. For low-margin products like stickers, Redbubble often pays more.
Is it hard to manage both platforms at once?▾
Only if you upload manually. Using the Octozia Chrome extension, you can upload the same designs to both Redbubble and TeePublic in one workflow. Most sellers manage 300+ designs on both platforms simultaneously.
Which platform is better for beginners?▾
TeePublic is often recommended for beginners because the lower competition makes it easier to get your first sales. Redbubble requires more patience — the platform is more saturated, but the traffic reward is higher once designs start ranking.
Do I need separate designs for each platform?▾
No. The same PNG files work on both platforms. The only difference is the metadata (title, tags, description) which you can customize per platform using a CSV import in Octozia.
