Which should you choose?

Choose Kittl for illustration-heavy merch art. Choose DonForge if you want luxury design plus the paperwork and ordering that turn designs into business.

Switching from Kittl

You do not have to move everything at once. Start by recreating your most-used piece — usually a flyer, a business card or an estimate — from a DonForge template for your industry. Upload your logo and colors to the brand kit so every new file matches. Import existing PDFs and Word documents, then send your next contract for signature from the same file. Most owners are fully set up in an afternoon.

Many DonForge users keep a specialist tool for edge cases and use DonForge for the day-to-day: flyers and posts, estimates and invoices, PDF clean-up and signatures — with one login, one brand kit and one link for clients.

DonForge is the better fit when…

  • You want luxury design and the business paperwork behind it.
  • You need estimates, invoices, contracts and e-signatures.
  • You want niche templates for trades, professional services and artists.
  • You want to order prints and merch from your designs.
  • You share work with clients through portals and links.

Kittl is the better fit when…

  • You create illustration-heavy merch art full-time.
  • You need Kittl’s specific illustration library and fonts.
  • You only need design, not documents or signatures.
