CHECKPRINT is an online tool for creating and printing personal or business checks.

Its free plan includes one bank account, unlimited checks, watermarked PDFs, and 30 days of storage. Paid subscriptions include two accounts on Start and ten on Professional, with unlimited checks and storage for the subscription duration. Credit purchases are also available.

CHECKPRINT may suit individuals, business owners, and bookkeepers who need to create and print checks. It supports printing with a regular printer, including on blank white paper.

CHECKPRINT is a browser-based tool for making personal and business checks, best suited to individuals, business owners, and bookkeepers who need printable checks without installing software. Its free plan supports unlimited checks, but watermarks and 30-day storage make it a poor fit for regular use unless you choose a paid option.

Overview

CHECKPRINT covers a straightforward check workflow: choose a top, middle, or bottom layout, customize it, then print on check stock or blank white paper with a regular printer. You can also save checks as PDFs or send them by email, so the service can suit both paper-based work and digital delivery.

The MICR line uses the routing and account numbers you enter, rendered in MICR font. The maker says its checks meet standards for more than 8,000 US banks. That broad compatibility claim is useful, but users should still confirm that their bank accepts the resulting checks.

The browser-based service is described as working on computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, with no software download required. Its FAQ says passwords are stored as salted hashes and recommends SMS two-factor authentication for sign-ins from unrecognized devices. The privacy policy says personal information is protected during transmission to other websites using encryption such as SSL.

Key features

Layouts and output

Three template positions and customizable layouts provide some room to fit a check to a printer setup. Printing on either check stock or blank paper avoids tying the workflow to one paper type. PDF saving, printing, and email delivery are practical options, although the free plan’s PDFs carry a watermark.

Accounts and storage

CHECKPRINT permits one bank account on Free, two on Start, and ten on Professional. Free checks remain stored for 30 days after creation; paid plans retain them for the subscription’s duration. The free cap is workable for occasional checks, but its short retention period and single account make it less convenient for ongoing recordkeeping or multiple accounts.

An FAQ and contact form provide routes for questions. The product is operated by CUFF, LLC, whose terms give an address in Newton, Massachusetts.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes one bank account, unlimited checks, PDFs ready to print with a watermark, and 30-day check storage. It is a sensible way to assess the workflow or handle occasional checks, but the watermark limits its usefulness for finished payments.

Credit packs are one-time purchases: Starter credits cost $4.99 once for two credits, Save credits cost $9.99 once for ten, and Scale credits cost $24.99 once for 30. All three include unlimited previews with a void watermark; one credit removes the watermark. These suit users who want to pay per check rather than subscribe, but previews are not equivalent to watermark-free checks.

Start (monthly) costs $10 a month and includes two bank accounts, unlimited checks, PDFs ready to print, and storage for the subscription duration. Professional (monthly) costs $15 a month and raises the account allowance to ten, with the same check, PDF, and storage terms. Start is the more economical recurring choice for up to two accounts; Professional is aimed at users managing more accounts.

Annual billing costs $50 a year for Start (yearly), with two accounts, unlimited checks, print-ready PDFs, and subscription-duration storage; the plan states a $70 saving. Professional (yearly) costs $75 a year, adds ten accounts, and states a $105 saving. The yearly plans suit users comfortable committing for the year; compared with monthly billing, they lower the stated cost but require an annual payment.

Platforms

CHECKPRINT is delivered through the web and is described as usable on computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Android and iOS are also included among its platforms. No software download is required, which favors users who want access across devices rather than a desktop-only installation.

Who it's for

CHECKPRINT fits individuals who make checks occasionally, as well as business owners and bookkeepers who need printable checks and a choice of account limits. The free tier is best for trying the service or low-stakes occasional use. Credit packs suit irregular needs, while monthly or yearly subscriptions are more practical for watermark-free PDFs and longer check retention. It is less compelling for users who need a sustained free archive or more than one bank account without paying.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Print on check stock or blank paper with a regular printer, and choose among three layouts.
• Pros: Save checks as PDFs, print them, or email them, with unlimited checks on the free and subscription plans.
• Pros: Multiple account limits and both credit-pack and subscription choices accommodate different usage patterns.
• Cons: Free PDFs are watermarked, limiting the free plan for producing finished checks.
• Cons: Free checks expire from storage after 30 days, and the plan allows only one bank account.
• Cons: Credit packs require a credit to remove the preview watermark, making occasional paid use less predictable than a subscription.

Verdict
