What you get
- Subscription pricing $12-24/month
- Template-based with a strong scene library
- Locked into recurring billing even for occasional use
- Same templates surface across Mediamodifier customers
Mediamodifier has a polished template library but the subscription tax ($12-24/month) compounds fast. Hauld replaces it with AI render + one-time payment — your photos are unique to your shop, not pulled from a stock library.
Try Hauld freeMediamodifier is great if you ship 100+ mockups/month and lean into the template style. For the rest of us — solo Etsy sellers, POD shops shipping in bursts — paying $200+/year for templates other sellers use makes less and less sense.
Mediamodifier covers more obscure SKUs. Hauld focuses on the 7 categories that 80% of Etsy/POD sellers use: mug, hoodie, tumbler, tote, sticker, poster, phone case.
Hauld's 5-photo batch is designed to give you 5 different mood/scene variants from one design — exactly what you need for Facebook/Pinterest ad A/B tests.
If your monthly usage is under ~50 mockups, the math says yes. A $19 Hauld pack covers a full shop refresh with no recurring charge.
