SimplyPrint

SimplyPrint is a cloud platform for managing 3D printers, with tools for slicing, monitoring, print queues and fleet management. Users can control printers remotely, track filament and coordinate teams. Its setup options vary by printer and include a direct connection, the SimplyPrint Client, or a Raspberry Pi with OctoPrint over USB. The cloud slicer lists engines such as PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer, CrealityPrint, Cura and Kiri:Moto. SimplyPrint says it supports 633+ printer models from 138+ brands. The iOS and Android app provides live camera access, printer controls, notifications and account features, subject to plan availability. Integrations include design tools such as Tinkercad, Fusion 360, Blender and FreeCAD, plus Zapier, n8n and Activepieces. The free plan allows up to two printers, one user and one location, with limits of 15 cloud slices and 12 AI Failure Detection hours per month. Paid plans start at $4.99/mo, and a 14-day trial is listed.

SimplyPrint brings printer control, slicing and fleet tools together, with a free plan for small setups and paid options for broader use. Check printer compatibility and plan limits, especially for cloud slicing and mobile access.

SimplyPrint identifies makers and hobbyists, print farms, schools and enterprises as audiences. It may suit people or organizations managing one printer or a larger printer fleet.

Overview

SimplyPrint combines 3D printer control, job preparation and fleet management in a cloud platform. It suits makers with multiple printers, shared workshops, schools and print farms that need to coordinate machines as well as prepare files. Its main advantage is that broad printer support sits alongside slicing and operational tools; the free plan’s tight caps make it better for a small setup than a growing team.

Key features

Remote control, print monitoring, queues, cloud slicing, filament tracking and team management cover much of the work around a print job. That combination can help a shared workshop keep jobs and machines organized, while a user who only needs to slice models may find the wider management platform unnecessary.

Connection methods vary by printer: SimplyPrint can connect directly, through its Client, or through a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint over USB. Support for more than 633 printer models from 138+ brands gives mixed fleets a better chance of fitting into one system, though the right connection method still depends on the machine.

Cloud slicing includes PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer, CrealityPrint, Cura and Kiri:Moto engines. Integrations include design software such as Tinkercad, Fusion 360, Blender, SketchUp, SolidWorks and FreeCAD, as well as Cura, OrcaSlicer, Zapier, n8n and Activepieces. This breadth helps connect design and automation workflows. Developers should account for the plan gates: basic API access and MCP begin with Pro, while enhanced API access and webhooks begin with Print Farm. There is no public API sandbox or official SDK yet.

The iOS and Android apps provide live camera access, printer controls, notifications and account features, with access depending on the plan. GDPR compliance, EU-based hosting and processing, DPAs, and a stated policy against selling user data will matter to organizations evaluating data handling. Enterprise adds SSO, enforced two-factor authentication, IP whitelisting, usage policies, an exportable audit log and a DPA signing workflow. Self-hosting is offered through a custom Enterprise engagement, with security and operational responsibilities scoped with the customer.

Pricing

The Free plan costs $0.00 and allows two printers, one user and one location, with 15 cloud slices and 12 AI Failure Detection hours per month. It is a useful starting point for a small personal setup, but the printer and user caps leave little room for a shared workspace, and the monthly slicing and detection allowances constrain heavier use.

Paid options are organized around different needs. Basic costs €5.09 per month billed yearly for up to three printers, one user and one location, while Pro costs €8.49 per month billed yearly for five printers, with scaling up to 10, and the same user and location limits. Both retain a single-user structure, so they suit an individual adding capacity better than a team.

Cloud Slicer costs €3.99 per month billed yearly and allows up to 50 slicer profiles; it suits users seeking slicing capacity without moving to a broader printer plan. Filament Manager costs €4.79 per month billed yearly and provides unlimited filament spools, a focused choice for users whose main need is material tracking. Print Farm costs €33.99 per month billed yearly and includes 10 printers, one user and one location. Its printer capacity and developer access suit operations that need fleet tools, though the single included seat may not fit a team without a larger arrangement.

Education is €480 per year, billed annually, covering two printers and up to 500 people using them per year. That is aimed at a school sharing a small printer pool with many learners. District / Enterprise Education uses custom pricing for districts, universities and larger institutions. Enterprise is €254.15 per month billed yearly and includes 10 printers, 10 user seats and one location, along with its enterprise controls. Self-hosting is also a custom Enterprise engagement. SimplyPrint offers a 14-day trial; check which features and limits apply to the chosen plan before committing.

Platforms

SimplyPrint supports Android, iOS, web, API access and self-hosted deployments. The self-hosted option is tied to a custom Enterprise engagement, rather than presented as a standard low-cost route for individuals.

Who it's for

SimplyPrint is strongest for makers moving beyond a single printer, workshops coordinating shared machines, schools managing access for many learners, and print farms that need queues and fleet oversight. The Free and Basic plans can suit an individual or small setup; users needing several team seats, enterprise controls or self-hosting should look at Enterprise or an education engagement. Someone seeking only a free slicer or a lightweight, self-managed printer interface may be better served by a narrower tool.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Support for 633+ printer models across 138+ brands gives mixed fleets broad compatibility potential.
• Pros: Slicing, remote control, monitoring, queues and filament tracking live in one platform, useful when coordinating more than the file-preparation step.
• Pros: iOS and Android apps add camera access, controls and notifications, subject to plan access.
• Pros: Enterprise includes SSO, enforced 2FA, IP whitelisting and an exportable audit log for organizations with access-control needs.
• Cons: Free is capped at two printers and one user, with monthly cloud-slice and AI detection allowances, so it has limited room to grow.
• Cons: Basic and Pro include one user, and Print Farm includes one user; teams needing several seats face a step up to Enterprise.
• Cons: Developer access is tiered, with enhanced API access and webhooks starting at Print Farm; developers also lack a public sandbox and official SDKs.
• Cons: Self-hosting requires a custom Enterprise engagement, which makes it a poor fit for users seeking a standard self-hosted plan.

Alternatives

Polar Cloud is worth considering for users who want a cloud printing service with a free plan capped at one printer, five jobs a month, seven-day history and 300 MB of mesh-file storage.

AstroPrint offers a free tier for two printers, one user and 1 GB of file storage, making it another option for a small setup.

Obico may suit users focused on AI detection: its free plan allows one printer and 10 AI Detection Hours monthly, with basic streaming and limited OctoPrint tunneling.

PrusaSlicer is the simpler choice for someone who wants a free, open-source slicer rather than printer and fleet management.

OctoPrint is a free, open-source option for users who prefer a self-managed printer setup.

RaiseCloud is another free printer-management option to compare.

3DPrinterOS is a paid alternative with a Premium plan at $19.00 per month for two printers and one user, as well as an Education plan with custom pricing.

Mainsail is a free, open-source interface for users already operating Klipper and Moonraker.

Verdict

Choose SimplyPrint if you need one place to coordinate multiple printers, prepare jobs and monitor a shared fleet, especially across different printer brands. Its broad integrations and mobile controls strengthen that case, while single-user limits on several paid plans, gated developer features and the custom-only self-hosting route are reasons to look elsewhere if your team or deployment needs do not fit those terms.
