Boxaroo and Monday Merch both run design-to-delivery platforms for company swag, so on paper they look interchangeable. They aren't. The gap shows up once you get past the catalog and into how each one bills you for storage and picking, and where your merch actually sits before it ships. If you're comparing branded merchandise for business partners right now, those two details will matter more than which hoodie brand is in the catalog.
Here's what actually separates the two platforms, based on what each company publishes about its own pricing, warehousing, and catalog.
The products look similar on both platforms. The real difference is that Monday Merch's base plan is free, then bills warehousing and fulfillment as separate add-ons, while Boxaroo folds storage, picking, and team ordering into one price. On a recurring order, that adds up fast.

How Pricing Actually Works on Each Platform
Monday Merch keeps its platform, design tools, and swag consultant free, then bills separately for every step after that: warehousing from $0.30 per product as a one-time fee, and fulfillment from $2 a pack with bulk orders quoted individually. Want your team to order through a branded storefront? That's a further $550/month on top.
Boxaroo bundles storage, fulfillment, picking, packing, and team ordering into one unit price instead of billing each step separately. Its own production and warehouse automation lets it pass 1,000-unit pricing down to orders as small as 100 units, which is where its at-least-20%-lower pricing comes from. For a company running frequent smaller batches, onboarding kits, event boxes, quarterly client gifts, skipping the recurring add-ons changes the total quickly.
Where Your Merch Actually Ships From
Monday Merch runs fulfillment out of a single hub in Rotterdam. That's fine if your team and recipients sit in Europe. It gets slower and more expensive the moment you're shipping to Singapore, Sydney, or San Francisco. Boxaroo runs its own fulfillment centers in Singapore and Barcelona, covering APAC and EMEA from the same account. If your team has offices, clients, or events spanning both regions, that's one dashboard instead of two vendors and two shipping relationships to manage.
Catalog Depth vs. Curation
Monday Merch leans into brand-name partners, Carhartt, Columbia, The North Face, which gives it some recognizable product lines across a 150+ product catalog. Boxaroo runs a larger catalog at 600+ products, with the same class of recognizable co-brand names plus novelty options like custom LEGO figurines and Rubik's cubes for teams that want more variety without adding a second vendor for different use cases.
Storefronts: Standard vs. Add-On
Want your team to log in and order merch themselves? Monday Merch calls this a Brand Store, and it sits outside the base plan at $550/month. Boxaroo includes a team ordering portal as part of the standard platform, so there's no separate tier to switch on before your team can self-serve.
Before You Choose a Merch Platform, Check This
- Whether storage and picking are billed separately or bundled into your unit price
- Where the warehouse actually sits relative to your recipients, not just where the head office is
- Whether the catalog matches the volume and variety your program actually needs
- Whether a team ordering portal is included or a paid add-on
- Whether pricing improves as your order size grows, or stays flat regardless of volume
- Whether delivery performance is published anywhere, or just assumed
FAQ
Is Monday Merch cheaper than Boxaroo?
It depends on volume and how many add-ons you need. Monday Merch's base fees look low, but warehousing, fulfillment, and the Brand Store stack on top. Boxaroo's all-in pricing makes the total easier to predict upfront.
Does Monday Merch ship outside Europe?
Yes, but everything routes through their Rotterdam hub, so delivery times and costs rise the further a shipment travels from the EU.
How big is Monday Merch's product catalog compared to Boxaroo's?
Monday Merch lists 150+ products. Boxaroo's catalog runs past 600, including a dedicated novelty range.
Does Monday Merch publish an on-time delivery rate?
Not that's publicly listed. They hold a 4.8/5 on Trustpilot, but there's no stated delivery percentage to compare against Boxaroo's 99.5%.
Is there a minimum order quantity with Monday Merch?
Monday Merch doesn't publish a flat MOQ. Pricing for bulk orders is quoted individually, so it's worth confirming directly before committing to a specific product run.
Can I let my team order their own merch without extra setup?
With Boxaroo, yes, a team ordering portal is included from day one. With Monday Merch, that's the Brand Store, an optional add-on starting at $550/month.
Boxaroo bundles storage, picking, packing, and team ordering into one price and ships from Singapore and Barcelona, so your merch program doesn't need a second vendor for a second region.
