Starting a dropshipping business is one of the best ways to make a reasonable income online, the kind of income that actually makes you rich.
If you’ve had your experience with dropshipping already, you’d agree with me that they have their own shortcomings.
And from experience, I’ve come to realized that some of the major setbacks with dropshipping are dealing with an unreliable supplier, selling cold products, and dealing with AliExpress long shipping time.

So, we’ll be looking at both Spocket and Dropified strengths and weakness, their flexibility and offers they’ve brought to the table.
Spocket Vs Dropified: Overview of both Tools
Before we delve in, I think its best we understood the platforms, what they are and how they work.
This will help with having a basic understanding of what they do before we start comparing them.
Spocket and Dropified are both Dropshipping tools with few similarities when it comes to running a dropshipping business.
Both tools connect you to a supplier via a semi-automated platform where you can auto-import products and auto fulfil orders as well.
With either of the two (Spocket & Dropified), you can have your store set up on Shopify or have it powered by WooCommerce.
They are seamless integrated tool that connects your online store with a third-party supplier website.
This means you don’t have to do any manual work or see the product you’re selling. All you need do is promote and push orders to the supplier with just a push of the button.
It’s your third-party supplier, who then handles the delivery stress for you. Yours is to promote and make your money.
Now, let’s take a look at both of them one at a time and see what they have to offer individually.

With Dropified you can have products import to your online store with just a click of a button from AliExpress and various other Chinese websites.
It has an App that works on Shopify and equally a WooCommerce plugin for WordPress site. It also comes with a chrome extension that makes importation of products pretty easy.
They work with numerous website and mostly Chinese which makes it an easy access to any kind of products you want to sell.

Dropified Pricing Plan
Dropified, unlike Spocket, have just two pricing plan and just before I mention the plan cost I think it’s proper you know they offer a 14Days free trial on both plan and a long annual plan at a discounted price.
However, if before the 14days you don’t like the platform you can just cancel your subscription so as to avoid getting charged.
Below is what to expect on Dropified cost plan every month if you want to use the platform.

Dropified vs Spocket: Stand Out features
What are the difference and Standout features between both plans? Let’s have a look below.
#1 Product Sourcing
When it comes to sourcing for products, Dropified allows you to search from millions of sellers across various Chinese websites. Thus, increasing your product sourcing option.
Spocket however, limits your product sourcing to suppliers based in the US and EU. This is done to make you have access to only verified products and equally a reliable supplier.

Spocket allows you to have your store set up both Shopify and WooCommerce. While Dropified on the other end allows you to easily integrate with; Shopify, WooCommerce, CommerceHQ and GrooveKart.

This option is only available on Spocket, this means, you can have you brand logo and website name on you product package sent to your customers.
#4. Product Delivery Time
This feature affects how quick your customer receives their products after making a purchase on your website.
Spocket actually beats Dropified to this as their product delivery mechanism is way faster compared to Dropified.
Your best option on Dropified is the ePacket shipping option which is way slower compared to what they have going on Spocket.
Spocket can have your product delivered as a fast as 2 to 7 days while the ePacket shipping option is around 20Days.
