Prusa Easy Print vs. SimplyPrint: cloud slicer compared (2026)

Looking for Prusa Easy Print alternatives?

Prusa Easy Print is Prusa's cloud slicer: PrusaSlicer running on Prusa's servers, behind a deliberately simple front-end, free on Printables and in the Prusa App. The idea is lovely, slice a Prusa print in a few taps from your phone or tablet, and for a quick first print it works well.

But "easy" is the whole design: Easy Print hands you a handful of high-level choices (a quality preset, material, infill, supports, adhesion, some MMU color painting) and decides everything else, temperatures, speeds, flow, retraction, for you. There's no full settings tree. When you need real control, Prusa's own answer is to download the project as a 3MF and open it in desktop PrusaSlicer.

SimplyPrint runs the same PrusaSlicer engine in the cloud, on the same phones, tablets and Chromebooks, but gives you 100% of the settings, not a preset picker, plus OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer & CrealityPrint for when you don't print only on a Prusa. Same easy cloud slicing, without settling for less of a slicer. Here's a fair, side-by-side look.

The actual slicer alternatives to Prusa Easy Print

Looking for a different slicer, not just a different device? Fair enough. These are the real alternatives - and every one of them runs online, in your browser, through SimplyPrint.

PrusaSlicer

The obvious one: Easy Print is a simplified front-end for PrusaSlicer, so the full PrusaSlicer is the alternative - every setting Easy Print hides, from speeds and flow to seams and modifiers. Free on desktop, or online with all its settings through SimplyPrint.

The bottom line

Prusa Easy Print is PrusaSlicer in the cloud with the settings turned down to a handful of choices, built so a Prusa owner can slice fast from a phone or tablet. It's free and official, and for simple Prusa prints it's genuinely nice.

SimplyPrint runs that same PrusaSlicer engine in the cloud too, on the same devices, but as a full slicer: 100% of the desktop profiles and settings with identical G-code, not a simplified preset picker. And it runs OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer & CrealityPrint alongside it, for all major FDM brands. If Easy Print's simplicity is all you need for a Prusa, it's a fine free tool. If you want the whole slicer, and more than one engine or brand, that's SimplyPrint.

A real slicer, not a stripped-down preset picker

Both run PrusaSlicer in the cloud, so this isn't about the engine, it's about how much of it you get. Easy Print is simplified on purpose; SimplyPrint gives you the whole thing.

Every setting vs a handful

SimplyPrint

The full PrusaSlicer settings tree, exactly as on the desktop: speeds, flow, temperatures, retraction, seams, supports, ironing, per-object settings, modifiers, everything, in Basic mode for beginners or Expert mode for full control.

Prusa Easy Print

A handful of high-level options, a quality preset, material, infill, supports, adhesion and some MMU color painting. Speeds, flow, temperatures and retraction are decided for you, with no way to tune them in Easy Print.

No "export to the desktop app" escape hatch

SimplyPrint

When you need a granular change, you just make it, in the same cloud slicer, on the same device. There's nothing you have to move to a desktop.

Prusa Easy Print

Prusa's own guidance for real control is to download the project as a 3MF and open it in desktop PrusaSlicer, which is exactly the desktop dependency you were trying to avoid.

Free-tier slicing limits

SimplyPrint

Our free plan has a monthly slice quota, and every slice is the full slicer, no per-slice time limit and no cap on model complexity.

Prusa Easy Print

The free tier caps each plate at about 60 seconds of slicing and adds an undisclosed daily limit, and refuses very large or highly detailed models; heavier work needs the paid Prusa subscription or the desktop app.

It's the same engine underneath. The difference is that SimplyPrint lets you use all of it; Easy Print deliberately doesn't.

One engine for one brand, or every engine for every brand

Easy Print is PrusaSlicer, built for Prusa printers. If your bench only has Prusas, that's fine. The day it doesn't, you need a slicer that speaks more than one language.

Slicing engines

SimplyPrint

Run 5 engines, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer & CrealityPrint, and switch between them per print, in the same tab. Bambu owner? Slice with BambuStudio. Creality? CrealityPrint. All in one place.

Prusa Easy Print

PrusaSlicer only. It's a great engine, but it's the only one, so a Bambu or Creality print means leaving Easy Print for that brand's own software.

Printer brands

SimplyPrint

Slices for all major FDM brands and, with a printer connected, sends and monitors across them, Bambu, Creality, Prusa, Elegoo, Anycubic, Klipper and more.

Prusa Easy Print

Primarily designed for Prusa. It has expanded to around 22 other brands over a LAN connection, but Bambu Lab is excluded from sending, and the whole experience is Prusa-first.

Easy Print is the right shape for an all-Prusa desk. SimplyPrint is built for the mixed reality most people actually print in.

Where Prusa Easy Print is the better pick

Easy Print is a genuinely nice tool for what it's for, and Prusa built it well. Credit where it's due:

Dead simple for a fast Prusa print

SimplyPrint

We have a Basic mode that's beginner-friendly, but it still sits on top of a full slicer, so there's more on screen than Easy Print's few taps.

Prusa Easy Print

Genuinely the fewest taps to a sliced Prusa print: pick a preset and a material and go. For a brand-new user on a Prusa, that simplicity is a real feature.

First-party Prusa & Printables integration

SimplyPrint

We run the official PrusaSlicer engine and profiles, but Prusa's own account, Printables slicing and day-one Prusa hardware support are theirs.

Prusa Easy Print

Made by Prusa: tight Prusa printer integration, slice-straight-from-Printables, your Prusa account, and it's free and official.

If you print only on Prusa machines and want the simplest possible free cloud slice from Prusa themselves, Easy Print is a lovely fit. If you want the full slicer, more engines and more brands, that's SimplyPrint.

Prusa Easy Print and SimplyPrint comparison

Nothing is black-and-white, and there are always pros and cons to consider when choosing a 3D printing cloud solution!
And we're not here to simply tell you, that SimplyPrint is the best - we want you to make an informed decision, and of course there are pros of using Prusa Easy Print as well!

Pros of using Prusa Easy Print

Prusa Easy Print has real strengths, and they're worth being honest about:

Free and official from Prusa: made by Prusa Research, free on Printables and in the Prusa App.
The real PrusaSlicer engine: it's a simplified front-end for PrusaSlicer running on Prusa's servers, so the underlying slicing is the genuine article.
Genuinely easy: pick a quality preset and a material and slice; it's about the fewest taps to a finished Prusa print, great for beginners.
Runs on phone, tablet and browser: because slicing is server-side, it works from a phone, tablet or laptop with nothing to install.
Tight Prusa & Printables integration: slice straight from a Printables model and send to your Prusa, with MMU multi-color painting supported.

Cons of using Prusa Easy Print

Where Prusa Easy Print falls short if you want a full slicer:

Only a handful of settings: it exposes high-level options (preset, material, infill, supports, adhesion) and auto-decides speeds, flow, temperatures and retraction. There's no full settings tree, and Prusa's answer for real control is to open the 3MF in desktop PrusaSlicer.
A throttled free tier: each plate is capped at about 60 seconds of slicing with an undisclosed daily limit, one job at a time, and very large or complex models are refused; heavier work needs the paid subscription or the desktop app.
PrusaSlicer only: one engine. A Bambu or Creality print means switching to that brand's software.
Prusa-first: primarily designed for Prusa printers; it reaches around 22 other brands over LAN, but Bambu Lab is excluded from sending jobs.
Slicing only: it's a slicer, not a print platform, so there's no built-in queue, monitoring, AI detection or team management beyond Prusa's own tools.

Prusa Easy Print vs. SimplyPrint: frequently asked questions

Prusa Easy Print vs SimplyPrint: which should I use?

Both run PrusaSlicer in the cloud, so pick on how much slicer you want. Easy Print is the better fit if you print only on Prusa machines and want the simplest possible free slice from a phone or tablet. SimplyPrint is the better fit if you want the full PrusaSlicer, 100% of the settings, not a handful of presets, and if you run more than one engine or more than one printer brand: it runs 5 engines for all major FDM brands, on any device.

Does Prusa Easy Print have all the PrusaSlicer settings?

No. Easy Print is a deliberately simplified front-end: you get a quality preset, material, infill, supports, adhesion and some MMU color painting, and it decides speeds, flow, temperatures and retraction for you. Prusa's own guidance for full control is to download the project as a 3MF and open it in desktop PrusaSlicer. SimplyPrint runs the same engine with 100% of the settings in the cloud, so there's nothing to move to a desktop.

Is Prusa Easy Print free?

Yes, with limits. The free tier caps each plate at about 60 seconds of slicing (Prusa says that covers most projects) plus an undisclosed daily limit, slices one job at a time, and refuses very large or complex models. Heavier work needs the paid Prusa subscription or desktop PrusaSlicer. SimplyPrint's free plan has a monthly slice quota, but every slice is the full slicer with no per-slice time cap.

Can Prusa Easy Print slice for non-Prusa printers?

It's primarily designed for Prusa. Easy Print has expanded to around 22 other brands over a LAN connection, but Bambu Lab is excluded from sending jobs, and the whole experience is Prusa-first. SimplyPrint runs 5 engines (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer & CrealityPrint) and slices for all major FDM brands, so a mixed fleet lives in one place.

Does SimplyPrint run PrusaSlicer in the cloud like Easy Print?

Yes, and that's the point: both are cloud slicing on the real PrusaSlicer engine, on the same phones, tablets and Chromebooks. The difference is that SimplyPrint runs the unmodified full engine, so you get every profile and setting, plus OrcaSlicer, BambuStudio, ElegooSlicer & CrealityPrint for other brands, where Easy Print gives you a simplified subset of PrusaSlicer alone.

Can I use my existing PrusaSlicer profiles?

In SimplyPrint, yes, you can import your PrusaSlicer printer, filament and print profiles and slice with them unchanged. Easy Print is preset-based, so there's no way to bring a granular custom profile into it; you pick from its built-in presets.

Conclusion
Why SimplyPrint is the Top Prusa Easy Print Alternative

We made SimplyPrint due to the fact, that nothing else on the market quite fit our needs. We wanted a platform that was easy to use, but still had all the features we needed. We wanted a feature-rich platform, intuitive and easy to use, with a great user experience and actual innovation within the 3D print management software space.

In summary, we - humble and unbiased as we are 😉 - believe that the SimplyPrint platform is a great Prusa Easy Print alternative!
