How we grade them
| 3.0GPADSersVery good | 2.0GPAZendropFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CThe figure is Pro at $399 a year ($49 monthly), since the free plan can't import products or fulfill orders. That's above this category's middle and the dearest of the supplier apps it's listed with on yearly billing. Print on demand and coaching need Plus at $549 a year. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | DThere's a free plan, but it only lets you browse the catalog and get support: no imports, no automated fulfillment, no branding. There's no trial of Pro either, so selling starts at $49 a month. |
| Features | 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. | CSourcing from 1M+ products, US and China warehousing, automated fulfillment with your branding, print on demand and AI ads. The gaps: stores are limited to Shopify, Wix, TikTok Shop and ClickFunnels, and print on demand is Plus only. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. Mapping variants to suppliers, setting pricing rules and linking a PayPal account take some learning before orders flow smoothly. | CNo store rating on record. You connect a store, import products and set up branding before you sell, while Plus adds weekly coaching and courses for beginners. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a browser extension, with Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, eBay, TikTok Shop, Amazon and Walmart, plus an Open API. No phone or desktop app on record. | BWeb, with Shopify, Wix, TikTok Shop and ClickFunnels, plus an MCP server for AI agents.

Who each one suits
DSers

Worth knowing
DSers
- You pay suppliers for each product and its shipping: DSers' homepage example is a $2.42 pet harness with about $7.10 estimated shipping to the US.
- The free Basic plan has manual pricing only; automatic price and stock sync start with Advanced.
- Advanced works with 1 sales channel; selling on several channels at once needs Pro (3) or Enterprise (5).
- Tracking numbers sync for 14 days on Advanced and 21 days on Pro and Enterprise; supplier message sync starts with Pro.
Zendrop
- You pay Zendrop's cost for each product on every order: its winning-products page lists a pet bed mat at $6.49 against a suggested retail price of $25.96.
- The free plan cannot import products, fulfill orders automatically or add branding, so selling needs Pro at $49 a month.
- Print on demand, Zendrop AI and coaching come only with Plus at $79 a month.
- Store integrations cover Shopify, Wix, TikTok Shop and ClickFunnels; WooCommerce, Etsy and Amazon are not listed.
