A Jiggy Puzzle Alternative
Jiggy is one of the few puzzle brands that genuinely shares Puzzably's starting assumption: a jigsaw puzzle should be worth framing when it is done. They have built a brand around supporting emerging female artists, include puzzle glue with each order to make framing easy, and ship in sustainable packaging. If you are looking for a Jiggy alternative or comparing the two, the clearest differences are the custom photo option (Puzzably has it, Jiggy does not) and the artist program focus (Jiggy is built specifically around female artists; Puzzably's artist roster is broader).

Our verdict
Jiggy and Puzzably share a design-forward, display-focused philosophy. Jiggy is the stronger choice if you specifically want to support emerging female artists and enjoy a curated subscription experience. Puzzably is the better fit if you want a custom photo puzzle option alongside original art, or prefer a one-off purchase model.
What Jiggy does particularly well
Jiggy's commitment to supporting emerging female artists is not a marketing claim; it is the structural core of the business, with a percentage of each sale going directly to the featured artist. The packaging is sustainable and thoughtful, puzzle glue is included in every order to make framing straightforward, and the Jiggy Puzzle Club subscription delivers exclusive designs monthly. If you want a puzzle brand with a clear social mission and a curated artist-forward catalog, Jiggy is a genuinely good choice.
What Puzzably offers for a different set of needs
Puzzably's main differentiator from Jiggy is the custom photo option. If you want a premium display-quality puzzle made from your own photo, Jiggy does not offer that; Puzzably does. The 530x390mm finished size is calibrated to standard frame dimensions, the board is premium chipboard with soft-touch laminate, and every order gets a pre-press quality check before printing. Puzzably's catalog of original artist designs is also growing, covering themes from galaxy and space to roses and botanical art, and the artist program is designed to give credited artists a discoverable presence on the platform. For buyers who want the option to go either way (custom photo one time, catalog art another time) without changing services, Puzzably supports both.
Frequently asked questions
Is Puzzably or Jiggy better for a gift?
Both are strong gift options in the premium, display-focused segment. Jiggy's distinctive branding, artist mission, and included puzzle glue make it a memorable gift for someone who cares about the story behind the object. Puzzably is the better gift when the recipient's own photo is involved, or when you want a custom piece of art that fits a specific room or aesthetic.
Does Puzzably include puzzle glue?
Not currently. We recommend standard puzzle glue (available at most craft stores) for framing the completed puzzle. The 530x390mm finished size fits a standard 50x70cm frame once glued and cured.
Can I get a Puzzably puzzle on a subscription?
Not at launch. Puzzably is a print-on-demand service and each puzzle is ordered individually. A subscription or collector program may come in the future; if that interests you, joining the Puzzably mailing list is the best way to hear when it launches.
