| Custom die-cut shape | Included — any outline your design needs | Often +10% over a stock shape |
| Real stitched pre-production sample | Included — we sew it and send you photos | Photo proof commonly around $20 |
| Thread colours | Up to 9 included | Surcharge above the included count |
| Artwork, digitizing & production file | Included | Often a setup or digitizing fee |
| Expert human embroidery review | Included on every design | Rarely offered |
| AI design iterations | Unlimited and free, before you order | Bring your own artwork |
| Revisions after ordering | Two rounds included | Typically billed per round |
| Worldwide shipping | Included | Free domestic is common; worldwide less so |

Comparison FAQ
The most common questions we hear about how PatchDesign.ai stacks up against general-purpose design tools.
Is PatchDesign.ai really free compared to Canva Pro or Adobe Creative Cloud?+
Yes. PatchDesign.ai is $0/month with unlimited AI generations and is purpose-built for patches. Canva Pro is ~$120/year with limited Magic Media credits. Adobe Creative Cloud is ~$23/month ($276/year) with limited Firefly credits. Only PatchDesign.ai is free, patch-specific, and includes expert human embroidery review.
Why is PatchDesign.ai faster than general-purpose design tools?+
Canva and Adobe are general-purpose canvases - you drop in shapes, layers, and text and arrange them manually (typically 30 minutes to 3 hours). PatchDesign.ai is a patch-specific AI: you describe the patch in plain English and get a production-ready design in about 30 seconds. The AI knows patch conventions (shape, border, stitch direction, max color count) so the output lands closer to final on the first try.
Do any of these tools include human embroidery review?+
Only PatchDesign.ai. Every design runs through a free expert human review before manufacturing to catch thread-color issues, stitch-direction problems, and sizing conflicts. Canva and Adobe are self-serve design platforms - they do not review artwork for embroidery production.
What is included in the price of a custom patch at PatchDesign.ai?+
Everything except the patches themselves is already in the per-patch price. That means the AI design tool with unlimited free iterations, the artwork and digitizing, a free expert human embroidery review, a real stitched pre-production sample photographed for your approval, two rounds of revisions after you order, up to 10 thread colours, a custom die-cut shape in whatever outline your design needs, and free worldwide shipping. There is no artwork fee, no setup fee, no subscription, and embroidery coverage up to 100% at no extra charge - there is no coverage tier to choose between.
How do I compare custom patch quotes fairly?+
Published patch price charts are usually quoted at the cheapest configuration, so two numbers can describe very different patches. Five questions make any two quotes comparable: what embroidery coverage is the price quoted at; is a custom die-cut shape included or only a stock circle, oval or square; do you get a real stitched sample before the full run and what does it cost; how many thread colours are included before a surcharge; and is shipping included. At PatchDesign.ai the answers are coverage up to 100% included with no tiers, any shape included, a real stitched sample included, up to 10 colours, and free worldwide shipping. If you still find a genuinely like-for-like quote for less - same patch type, size, quantity, backing and colour count - our Lowest Price Guarantee matches it.
Can I use Canva or Adobe output to manufacture patches?+
You can export artwork from either tool, but you'll need to convert it to an embroidery file (DST, EMB, etc.) and handle sizing / stitch-count / thread-color matching yourself or through your manufacturer's art department. PatchDesign.ai includes that production conversion as part of the manufacturing order.
