The report card
Best for a vetted supplier directory for dropshippers
SaleHoo is a directory of 8,000+ vetted wholesale and dropship suppliers with research tools, from $9 a month on yearly billing. It does not print or ship anything, Starter allows one Shopify store, 200 imports and 100 supplier contacts a month, and there is no free plan or trial.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is $9 a month billed yearly, under the category's cheaper quarter. Pro is $49, and lifetime is $299 or $1,699, so the cheap plan is the capped one. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. A 60-day money-back guarantee is stated, but that is not a trial. |
| Features | C | Supplier directory, product research, Shopify import, CSV export, courses and a community. It lists suppliers only, and Starter is capped at 1 store. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating is on record. You search suppliers, contact them and set up imports yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, eBay and Amazon. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SaleHoo is for
- Fits if you are starting a dropshipping store and want vetted suppliers
- Works for sellers who want one Shopify store and a lifetime plan
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- New sellers who want a vetted list of suppliers before ordering stock
- Shopify dropshippers who import supplier products in bulk
- Sellers on eBay or Amazon who want supplier contacts and research rather than a fulfillment service
Worth knowing
- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace SaleHoo you would be making suppliers who ship each order for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 55 of the 70 other print-on-demand and dropshipping services grade higher. It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Online courses and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Suppliers who ship each order for you.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce among them.
What this rests on. SaleHoo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
