StickerApp vs Sticker Mule? Which Sticker Company is Better?

Updated January 2026

I used to make my sticker inventory at home using a Cricut machine (read my other blog Materials You Need to Make Waterproof Vinyl Stickers at Home if you're interested in that), but once I built up enough volume in orders, cutting stickers one sheet at a time took way too much time, energy, and effort. That's when I had to turn to custom sticker manufacturing companies to help me outsource this effort, making hundreds of stickers at a time, rather than 6.

It's now been several years since I have been purchasing stickers in bulk for Kimposed, and I have tested multiple companies along the way. Two companies have stood out amongst the rest has been Sticker Mule and Sticker App (see what other sticker companies I tested in this blog).

But which sticker manufacturer is better? 

-------------- BLOG POST HAS BEEN UPDATED!

Before I dive in: I had originally recommended Sticker Mule due to product thickness back in 2022, but given the CEO's recent antics and company advertising tactics promoting Trump, sexual harassment, and the revival of derogatory terms, I can no longer promote the brand.

Sticker Companies I CAN get behind, that provide excellent products and customer service:

StickerApp

• The whole point of this article was to compare the Sticker Mule to StickerAPP - Sticker App is the clear winner here. 
• The print quality was much brighter and photographs better than Sticker Mule
• StickerApp's price per sticker in lower quantities are much more efficient than Sticker Mule
• StickerAPP provides far more sticker material options than Sticker Mule if you're looking to experiment, such as glitter, mirror, prismatic, and brushed aluminum stickers.
• StickerApp has a native sticker editor tool that allows you to design different colored borders, add text, and even adjust the thickness of the border of your sticker designs. Sticker Mule does not have this feature.
• This same editor tool allows you to print on the back of your stickers. This gives you the ability to add your logo, website URL, and social media handles to the back of the pager, at an added cost.

Keenslaps

I wrote an entirely separate review of my experience working with Keenslaps for some custom stickers, already. You can check out my Keenslaps Review here, but here are some pros:

• They are a small company with the best kind of friendly service
• Offer the ability to add QR codes to promotional stickers so sticker recipients can easily access any website you want to promote
• Also offer textured stickers that I haven't experience before

Sticker Junkie

• Excellent variety of sticker options from die cut to sticker sheets
• Women-owned
• In-house customer service that's top-notch
• Mission driven to actually HELP people - If you purchase sticker's from this page, all profits go directly to Heretic Coffee's SNAP Breakfast fund.

I realize that I'm late to the game in my realization in who is running things over at Sticker Mule, and I regret spending so much money purchasing my stickers there, when the company stands for everything I do not. I hope this review helps you make a decision as well!
