Fees, audience and payment compared
| pressXchange | Requip | Source | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | Flat-rate listing fee. The dollar amount is not published (quote or checkout only). | Basic is $0 with 1 active listing. Pro $49/mo and Enterprise $149/mo for more listings. | [1] [4] |
| Commission | No commission on sales (pressXchange’s wording). | No commission; first listing free. | [1] [5] |
| Who pays, and when | Payment is normally due when the ad is placed. | No listing invoice on Basic. Paid plans are monthly (or annual) subscriptions, not a cut of the sale. | [3] [4] |
| Audience | pressXchange’s claim: exposure to 350,000 potential buyers from 195 countries. Its about page separately claims over 300,000 registered printing professionals from 190 countries, and says listings come from vetted dealers. Those are its claims; the two pages do not match. | Small, US/Michigan-centered catalog. The 2026-10-20 market snapshot showed 23 active listings. | [1] [2] [6] |
| Who can list | pressXchange’s about page describes its listings as coming from vetted dealers. | Any seller with an account. Basic allows 1 active listing. | [2] [4] |
| Payment / escrow | pressXchange “is not a party to any contract” (its terms). | Requip does not process payment or offer escrow. | [3] [5] |
| Best for | A seller who needs a print-specific global dealer board and will pay an unpublished flat fee up front. | A one-off US seller who wants a specs-rich listing and a direct deal, and who can live with a small audience. | Reading of the cited rows; not a competitor claim. |
When pressXchange is the better choice
If the machine needs the print-specific audience pressXchange claims — 350,000 potential buyers in 195 countries[1], and listings it says come from vetted dealers[2] — use pressXchange. Requip’s live catalog on 2026-10-20 was 23 active listings, and the print side is Horizon-heavy and US-based — see the Horizon StitchLiner 5500 and the rest of the Horizon hub.
pressXchange also suits a seller who is fine paying a listing fee before anyone inquires, because payment is normally due when the ad is placed[3]. Requip does not charge that kind of insertion invoice on Basic — but it also does not put the listing in front of that claimed dealer list.
Requip’s other cons: no payment handling, no escrow, one free active listing on Basic, and nobody here is writing the ad for you. If you need the platform to take the money, this is the wrong comparison; look at a checkout marketplace instead.
When Requip is the better choice
Cost. Requip has no commission; first listing free. pressXchange’s listing price is not published[1], so the only honest statement is that Requip’s commission is $0 and its first listing does not require a quote.
The listing itself. Requip pages carry the specs a shop asks for, and the manuals library is free. The deal is direct.
A US seller with one StitchLiner, one feeder, or one collator who does not want a dealer-subscription aggregator or an unpublished international listing invoice. Start from used bindery equipment or list it.
Worked example (live listing, cited rates only)
The live Horizon StitchLiner 5500 has no published asking price (contact for price)[7], so it cannot support fee arithmetic. Use the priced companion instead: the Horizon HOF-400 sheet feeder package asks $49,860[8].
Requip’s commission on $49,860 is $0. pressXchange charges a flat listing fee and no commission. pressXchange does not publish its listing price[1], so we cannot subtract a pressXchange invoice from $49,860. The comparison that is actually sourced: Requip commission $0; pressXchange commission $0; pressXchange listing fee = unpublished.
