Ever had a set of photo you were really proud of and wanted to showcase on your living room wall?
Now the issue with typical photos is that they fade over time, and may not be the classiest things to blow up in size and hang on your wall even after you’ve framed it.
What Wallhogs offers up is an online service where you can upload your photos have have them blown up to large proportions, and then printed on reusable vinyl, or canvas (or photos if you wish) – which makes them much more presentable in a room setting.
How does Wallhogs compare with their competition?
As with many of my reviews, I searched around the web for a competitor to benchmark against and came up with Zazzle, and LargeFormatPosters.com. All of them offer similar services so let’s take a look at their prices.
Canvas posters
Wallhogs – USD$19.99 for a 11″ x 14″ canvas print
Zazzle’s – USD$39.95 for a 11″ x 16.5″ canvas print
LargeFormatPosters.com – USD$15.00 for a 11″ x 14″ canvas print – Winner
Photo posters
Wallhogs – USD$19.99 for a 24″ X 52 high glossy photo print – Winner
Zazzle – USD$34.95 for a 24” x 36” high glossy photo print
LargeFormatPosters.com – USD52.00 for a 24″ X 52 high glossy photo print
Vinyl posters
Wallhogs – USD$24.9924″ 24″ x 52″ vinyl – Winner
Zazzle does not sell Vinyl posters
LargeFormatPosters.com – USD$60.67 for a 24″ x 52″ vinyl
Bottom Line
Now there may be slight differences in quality and costs of shipping between the services listed above – but it does seem like Wallhogs comes out as a winner in terms of overall pricing. There are not too many prominent players in this business yet, but Wallhogs is certainly one service worth keeping an eye on.

Louiss -you’re an *deleted: no personal insults please*- admin. Every review that I have read on friedbeef has been honest. So much so, that I cringe after reading that the company actually paid to be reviewed -and then were hung out.

Hi Dennis : To your first comment, to be fair I think Louiss was just asking an honest question about how much I was getting for the review. Thank you though for pointing out that ALL my reviews are indeed honest and unbiased – really appreciate that.
To your 2nd comment – The time on the site is Malaysian time hence it would be different from where you are at.

Largeformatposters.com lowered their prices, plus they give you next day turnaround and free shipping. They also offer great customer service. I used them to create a canvas menu for our salon and they also did vinyl banners and a few posters for me. Really great company and very good product. Always available to answer calls.
