Comparison
Sapatrishi vs Pothi.com
Full-service publishing vs print-on-demand. Different tools for different needs.
What to Consider
Pothi.com is a print-on-demand service, not a publisher. You upload a print-ready PDF, they print copies as orders come in. They do not edit your manuscript, design your cover, register your ISBN, or distribute to bookstores.
If you already have a perfectly formatted, print-ready book file and just need copies printed, Pothi is great. But most authors need the full publishing service — editing, design, layout, ISBN, and distribution.
Per-copy costs with print-on-demand are higher than offset printing. If you plan to sell or distribute more than 50-100 copies, offset printing through a full-service publisher is more cost-effective.
