Which one is for you
Pick CJdropshipping if
- Fits if you want one company to source, store and ship your products
- Works for brands that want custom packaging or printing on dropshipped goods
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you expect 2-to-3-day delivery on everything, as that's local-warehouse stock only
- Skip it if you want a supplier based in the US or Europe, as CJ is based in Yiwu, China
- Watch out: you pay for each product, its shipping and other service fees on every order, billed in US dollars
- Skip it if you want something to switch on and leave, as stores, products and shipping methods all need setting up first
Pick Sup Dropshipping if
- Fits if you source from Chinese marketplaces without reading Chinese
- Works for dropshippers adding a few print-on-demand products
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you grow, because Basic stops at 3 stores and 500 listings
- Not for you if you want a dedicated print-on-demand design tool, as print on demand is a side feature
- Pricey if you want a yearly saving, since the page shows monthly prices only
- Watch out: product, shipping and print costs vary by item and are charged per order

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
