How we grade them
| 2.2GPAAutoDSFair | 3.0GPADSersVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe figure is $29.90 a month: Starter 500 on yearly billing ($39.90 monthly), the first plan with price and stock monitoring and automated orders, as Import 200 at $19.90 is just an importer. That's above this category's middle, and add-ons such as VA access cost extra. | AThe figure is $0 a month: the free Basic plan has 3 stores, 3,000 products, bulk ordering and tracking sync, which is enough to sell. Automatic price and stock sync is Advanced, at $19.90 a month or $190.80 a year. Level with CJdropshipping as the cheapest way to sell among its rival apps. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan. The only way in is a 3-day trial that costs $0.99, which is short and isn't free. | BBasic is a free plan one person can really run a store on: 3 stores, 3,000 products, bulk orders and tracking sync. But pricing is manual, so supplier price and stock changes are yours to catch, and it's 1 sales channel. |
| Features | BThe whole job: one-click and bulk imports from 25+ suppliers in the US, EU, UK, Australia and China, price and stock monitoring, automatic orders, tracking, custom branding, AI listing tools and product research, on Shopify, eBay, Amazon, Etsy and more. | BThe whole job: AliExpress plus 1688 and Alibaba backups, a verified agent network for branding and packaging, bulk ordering with address fixes, variant mapping, bundles, price and stock sync on paid plans, AI tools, MCP and an Open API. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. There's a lot to set up: suppliers, buyer accounts or a balance for Fulfilled by AutoDS, pricing rules and monitoring. Powerful, but not instant. | CNo store rating on record. Mapping variants to suppliers, setting pricing rules and linking a PayPal account take some learning before orders flow smoothly. |
