SaleHoo vs Spocket (2026): which should you pick?

Pick SaleHoo if

• Fits if you are starting a dropshipping store and want vetted suppliers
• Works for sellers who want one Shopify store and a lifetime plan

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try before paying, as there is no free plan or trial
• Tight if you grow: Starter caps you at 1 store, 200 imports and 100 supplier contacts a month
• Pricey if you need Pro: $49 a month yearly, or $1,699 for lifetime
• Watch out: no month-to-month price is shown, and cancelling needs 48 hours' notice before renewal

Pick Spocket if

• Fits if you want US or EU suppliers rather than shipping everything from overseas
• Works for stores on Wix, Squarespace or Ecwid as well as Shopify

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you run several stores, as each needs its own subscription for all features
• Not for you if you sell on eBay or Amazon and don't want Empire at $57 a month billed yearly
• Skip it if you might cancel, as imported products and settings go at the end of the period, and a pause is allowed only once
• Tight if you start on Starter: $39.99 a month for 25 products, with no premium products and no yearly option
• Watch out: the free plan only browses, yearly plans are charged at signup with no trial, and listing prices exclude shipping

SaleHoo

• SaleHoo lists suppliers; it does not print or ship products itself, so it is not a print-on-demand fulfiller.
• Only a yearly-billed price and a lifetime price are shown; no month-to-month price appears on the pricing page.
• Starter limits you to 1 Shopify store, 200 imports and 100 supplier contacts a month.
• A 60-day money-back guarantee is stated; cancelling needs 48 hours' notice before renewal.

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.
