How we grade them
| 2.2GPAAutoDSFair | 2.2GPASpocketFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CThe figure is $24 a month: Professional on yearly billing, with 250 products, since the free plan can't push products to a store. Against the supplier apps it's listed with, that's the middle: dearer than DSers or CJdropshipping, cheaper than Zendrop, AutoDS or Syncee. Each store needs its own subscription. |
| 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. | CThe free Basic plan only lets you browse, so you can't sell anything without paying. Monthly plans come with a 7-day free trial; yearly plans are charged at signup, with no trial. |

Worth knowing

- Plan prices differ by sales platform; the figures here are for Shopify, the pricing page's default tab.
- There is no free plan; a 3-day trial costs $0.99.
- Add-ons cost extra: auto ordering $9.90 a month, VA access $14.97, the Product finding hub $14.97 and a mentor $39.97.
Spocket
- Product and shipping costs are paid per order at each supplier's listed price; Spocket's help center notes that listing prices do not include shipping.

- Unlimited orders, eBay and Amazon dropshipping need Empire ($57 a month billed annually); each connected store also needs its own subscription for all features.
- Cancelling removes all imported products and settings at the end of the paid period; pausing for a month instead keeps them, and is allowed once.
