Worth knowing
Dropshipzone
- Prices shown on the site are for Australian retail, not a subscription, so costs depend on each product.
- This is a general supplier catalog, not a print-on-demand service with a design tool.
- The site is built around Australian retailers and a Melbourne-based team.
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.
- The free Basic plan only lets you browse products; pushing them to a store needs a paid plan.
- 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.

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.
