Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Gelato at 4.1 against Printify App's 3.0. Gelato also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 26%) and ratings volume (370 vs 44). Printify App's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
