Botson was built to give small and mid-size print shops the same powerful prepress tools that used to be reserved for large operations with six-figure software budgets.
For decades, the print industry has been dominated by a few enterprise software vendors. Their tools are powerful — but they come with enterprise-level pricing, long-term contracts, and complexity that doesn't make sense for small to medium sized shops.
Many shops end up either paying more than they should for features they never use, cobbling together manual workflows, or going without critical prepress automation entirely. That's the gap Botson aims to fill by providing time saving tools to help you save money and meet growing customer expectations. We want to help you level the playing field.
Pay per product, per seat, month-to-month. No bundles you don't need, no annual lock-in. Most shops pay under $150/mo for everything.
Install and setup in minutes. No IT department required. Our plugins live right inside Adobe Illustrator where your team already works.
Botson is sensitive to small and medium sized shop budgets. You are the reason we built Botson and that's why we offer discounted seats beyond the initial seat purchase. We want your whole team to benefit from these time saving tools.

Botson wasn't built by a software company that decided to enter the print market. It was built by people who've spent years working in print production and got tired of overpaying for tools that should be accessible to every shop.
Every feature in Botson exists because someone in a real print shop needed it. We don't build features for enterprise checklists — we build what makes your day-to-day production faster and more reliable.
