Seven differences that change the shortlist
| Buying question | Zakeke | Threekit |
|---|---|---|
| Starting output | Personalised or visually configured ecommerce product | Valid manufacturing configuration and quote |
| Commercial path | Starter, Grow, Scale and Enterprise | Demo and commercial project scope |
| Published product allowance | Starter: ten; Grow: fifty; Scale: one hundred | Define catalogue and channel scope in the proposal |
| Custom-product sale fee | Plan-based fee with an item basis and floor | No matching public fee structure is inferred |
| Viewer distinction | 3D/AR Viewer has a stated sale-fee exclusion | Verify the visual and quoting deliverables required |

| Implementation | Store connection, products and assets | Catalogue, quote, dealer and system handover |
Four worked buying briefs
These are hypothetical scenarios with explicit assumptions. They do not establish equal capabilities, measured usability or a negotiated price.
| Buying brief | Zakeke | Threekit |
|---|---|---|
| Ten personalisable store products | Ten fit the published Starter allowance, before solution and fee checks. | Request the required catalogue and store-channel implementation scope. |
| Eleven live customisable products | Eleven exceed Starter’s ten; Grow lists fifty. | Ask how the catalogue is scoped and maintained in the proposal. |
| Ten eligible custom sales at US$100 each | At Starter’s stated 1.9% item basis, these assumptions produce US$19 before subscription; tax and shipping are excluded from the assumed item prices. | The software quote remains unpriced; no equivalent sales fee is assumed. |
| A dealer needs an approved manufactured quote | Verify whether the selected solution supplies the required rules, pricing and quote handover. | Evaluate the manufacturer-focused configuration-to-quote workflow and receiving system. |
Ten personalisable store products
Does Starter’s product allowance fit?
Zakeke: Ten fit the published Starter allowance, before solution and fee checks.
Threekit: Request the required catalogue and store-channel implementation scope.
One published product is not automatically one variant, rule or 3D asset.
Eleven live customisable products
Does one extra item select a larger package?
Zakeke: Eleven exceed Starter’s ten; Grow lists fifty.
Threekit: Ask how the catalogue is scoped and maintained in the proposal.
Do not infer Threekit capacity or price from Zakeke’s product count.
Ten eligible custom sales at US$100 each
How does a percentage fee behave?
Zakeke: At Starter’s stated 1.9% item basis, these assumptions produce US$19 before subscription; tax and shipping are excluded from the assumed item prices.
Threekit: The software quote remains unpriced; no equivalent sales fee is assumed.
The example applies only if the solution and sales qualify under the current Zakeke fee terms.
A dealer needs an approved manufactured quote
Is a preview enough?
Zakeke: Verify whether the selected solution supplies the required rules, pricing and quote handover.
Threekit: Evaluate the manufacturer-focused configuration-to-quote workflow and receiving system.
Test an invalid combination, a revised price and the exact order or quote record.
Required output: name the record after configuration
Specify whether the buyer needs a decorated item, a price estimate, an approved quote or an order-ready manufacturing record. Include the fields and receiving system. A visual preview cannot establish commercial validity by itself.
Use the same representative product and one invalid option combination in an authorised demonstration. Change an accessory and a dimension, then check the price against your own catalogue. Ask who maintains rules and assets after launch.
Fee basis: keep the item and the cart distinct
Zakeke’s current Starter terms describe a 1.9% fee on the eligible custom-product item price, excluding tax and shipment, with a minimum fee floor. The stated fee does not apply identically to its 3D/AR Viewer solution.
For either product, keep software subscriptions separate from product selling prices, ecommerce processor charges and implementation work. Ask for a proposal including catalogue updates, connected systems and continuing support.
Questions before you choose
Does Zakeke Starter fit eleven published products?
No. Its published limit is ten; Grow lists fifty.
Does Zakeke’s custom-product sale fee apply to every viewer use?
The current pricing terms state that it does not apply to the 3D/AR Viewer solution.
Do public Threekit product prices establish its software subscription cost?
No. Configured product selling prices and the software commercial proposal are separate.
Keep the assumptions with the figures
Use the date, billing cycle, units and limits with each example. Check current account terms before purchasing. Unverified prices and model costs stay unpriced.
