GelatoConnect vs. Myze

Run apparel production on a platform that isn't owned by a printer brand.

Myze is a Brother digital product, deepest on Brother GTX hardware. GelatoConnect is independent — purpose-built to power high-volume DTG, DTF, embroidery and sublimation across Brother, Kornit and Aeoon, with three integrated modules and global logistics built in.

Procurement automation Native multi-brand machine support ~100 carriers globally

Why apparel producers switch from Myze to GelatoConnect.

Myze is a capable workflow tool. But once you scale across machine brands, geographies, and order volumes, three architectural choices start to bite — and GelatoConnect was designed differently from day one.

01

Independence — not a printer brand's roadmap

Myze is "A Brother Digital Product"1. Brother GTX is fully integrated — every other DTG/DTF printer goes through third-party RIP software (Cadlink)1. GelatoConnect is software-first and connects natively to Brother, Kornit and Aeoon2. Your tech stack stops being a hostage to one hardware vendor's release cycle.

02

Three modules, one platform — not workflow alone

Myze is, per its own homepage, a workflow platform with shop connectors and shipping integrations1. GelatoConnect ships three integrated modules: Procurement (automated supplier replenishment, real-time inventory), Workflow (QR-driven shop floor) and Logistics (~100 carriers)3. Stop bolting plugins together to fake a platform.

03

Global logistics, not regional plugins

Myze publishes Sendcloud and Shipstation as its shipping integrations1. GelatoConnect's logistics module supports nearly 100 carriers natively, including Amazon Shipping, FedEx International and DHL Parcel Connect3. For any apparel business shipping cross-border at volume, this is the difference between hand-rolled compliance and automated routing.

The economics of growth

Myze pricing scales per order item. GelatoConnect doesn't tax your growth.

Myze publishes a fee of €0.09 per order item, plus €0.15 per dropshipped item, on top of monthly tiers up to €349.991. That's a fixed tax on every unit you produce — forever.

From Myze to GelatoConnect.

An apparel producer who made the switch — in their own words.

"
Myze got us moving, but we kept hitting walls — every new printer brand, new shipping carrier, new market meant another integration. On GelatoConnect, our shipping cost per parcel dropped 20–30% and customer complaints fell 70%. The whole production runs on one platform now.

What changes when you switch

A clean migration from Myze.

Most teams already have the building blocks: machines, blanks suppliers, e-commerce store, shipping accounts. GelatoConnect connects them — and then makes the parts you don't have today (procurement automation, multi-carrier logistics, multi-brand machine integrations) work without bolt-ons.

  • Keep your Brother GTX fleet — and add Kornit, Aeoon or new brands without re-platforming2.
  • Move from per-order-item fees to custom pricing aligned to your operation1, 2.
  • Replace plugin-based shipping (Sendcloud / Shipstation) with native logistics across ~100 carriers3.
  • Get procurement, workflow and logistics in one platform — not three3.

GelatoConnect vs. Myze: frequently asked questions

What is the best alternative to Myze for apparel production?+

GelatoConnect is the leading independent alternative to Myze for high-volume apparel production. Unlike Myze, which is described on its own website as "A Brother Digital Product"1, GelatoConnect is software-first and connects natively to Brother, Kornit, and Aeoon industrial printers at the platform level2. It supports DTG, DTF, embroidery, and sublimation in one workflow, and includes procurement automation and a global logistics module covering nearly 100 carriers including Amazon Shipping, FedEx International, and DHL Parcel Connect3.

What is the difference between GelatoConnect and Myze for apparel producers?+

Myze is a workflow platform owned by Brother International, with full native integration only on Brother GTX printers; other DTG and DTF machines run through third-party RIP software like Cadlink1. GelatoConnect is independent — Gelato is not a printer manufacturer — and ships three integrated modules: Procurement (automated supplier replenishment, real-time inventory), Workflow (QR-driven shop floor) and Logistics (~100 carriers globally)3. Both support DTG, DTF, embroidery, and sublimation1, 2.

How does GelatoConnect pricing compare to Myze's per-order-item fee?+

Myze publishes tiered monthly pricing — Free, €59.99, €99.99, and €349.99 — plus per-unit fees of €0.09 per order item and €0.15 per dropshipped item1. GelatoConnect is priced per producer, scoped to your operation, geography, and volume, with no public per-unit fee2. For high-volume apparel businesses, the absence of compounding per-unit fees materially affects unit economics at scale.

Can I switch from Myze to GelatoConnect without replacing my Brother GTX printers?+

Yes. GelatoConnect is machine-agnostic and connects natively to Brother, Kornit, and Aeoon industrial systems2. Apparel producers running a Brother GTX fleet on Myze can move to GelatoConnect and keep the same hardware while gaining native support for additional printer brands, procurement automation, and global logistics across nearly 100 carriers3.

Does GelatoConnect support DTG, DTF, embroidery, and sublimation like Myze?+

Yes. Both platforms support all four methods. GelatoConnect Apparel powers high-volume DTG, DTF, and embroidery, with apparel-specific workflows that also support sublimation2. Myze advertises the same four decoration methods on its homepage1.

What results have apparel producers reported after switching to GelatoConnect?+

Gelato publicly cites apparel customer TidyMerch reducing customer complaints by 70% and cutting shipping cost per parcel by 20–30% after adopting GelatoConnect3. Across customers, Gelato reports more than 40% reduction in material overhead through procurement automation and production error rates below 0.35% with end-to-end automation3.
