Zigaflow vs commonsku: the same workflow, priced in pounds

commonsku is a genuinely good promotional products platform and the closest thing to a like-for-like competitor we have - it is also USD-only with two and three user minimums, no UK entity and no UK supplier feeds, which is most of the argument.

Built for North America

On capability this is the closest comparison on the site, and we are not going to pretend commonsku is a weak product. The differences that matter to a UK distributor are pricing, supplier data and what happens when the job is not only merchandise. Every row below was checked against the vendor's own product and pricing pages on 10 September 2026. A cross means the capability is not described anywhere on those pages, not that we tested the product and it was missing. Prices are the ones published that day and several are promotional, so check them before you decide.

No UK supplier feeds

commonsku's supplier network is built around PromoStandards and the North American supplier base. Zigaflow ships live product, price and stock feeds from Midocean, LALTEX, PF Concept and other UK suppliers, which is what makes a ten-minute quote possible here.

Promo only, and plenty of distributors are not

If you also fit out, install, print or make things, you need a works order, an eForm on a phone for a site sign-off, and a contract. commonsku is a promotional products platform by design and does not describe those.

Wider than merchandise

Where commonsku is genuinely better

commonsku is deeper in promo-specific supplier collaboration - PromoStandards throughout, supplier-side ePO endpoints and a connected supplier community - and its content and events programme is the best in the industry. If you are a US distributor, buy commonsku.
