Printify's personalization is free on Etsy and Shopify, with live preview. For a name on a mug it is the right tool. These are the limits sellers hit as they grow.

One or two text fields, a photo, apparel or mugs, Printify providers only. If that is your shop, stay on the free tool.
You need a sixth Etsy field. You want a font picker, clipart, masks or conditional options. You sell embroidery or all-over print and want a preview. You want to send some orders to Printful or Gelato. Your buyers upload iPhone photos.
Foxmake reads your Printify products with personalizable layers and recreates them as templates, so you keep Printify as a supplier and add what it cannot do.
