ImportGenius vs ImportYeti
ImportGenius is trusted by global leading companies
Why ImportGenius is the best platform for trade intelligence
Proven, reliable trade intelligence
ImportGenius is more than an established leader in trade intelligence—we are also the largest privately owned U.S. trade data provider. With over 18 years of expertise, our platform has been refined to serve businesses of every size.
Our data is trusted by industry leaders, cited by top journalists, and admissible in federal court.
Global visibility you can’t get from ImportYeti
ImportYeti limits coverage to U.S. and Mexico trade data, leaving global markets out of view. ImportGenius delivers insights from key global markets as à la carte datasets you can add on top of your U.S. data subscription.
This gives you the visibility to source suppliers worldwide, monitor competitors globally, and reduce blind spots in your supply chain.
Versatility without gatekeeping
ImportYeti divides subscriptions into sourcing & supply chain or logistics & sales, with other use cases routed to a Custom Plan, adding steps and potential restrictions.
ImportGenius takes a simpler approach: every subscription works across industries—from logistics and sourcing to compliance and investigations—without approvals or extra plans. You get immediate, unrestricted access to global trade data, making ImportGenius the more versatile solution.
Flexible pricing without hidden costs
While ImportYeti publishes rates for its basic sourcing and logistics plans, their Custom Plan pricing remains undisclosed.
ImportGenius provides transparent, scalable pricing. From the U.S.-only Essentials plan to multiple Business plan options designed to fit your needs, and an Enterprise package for larger organizations, you can view details about every plan directly on our website. Even à la carte country datasets have disclosed rates, so you can expand coverage without surprises or oversized bundles.
Trusted data for deeper insights
ImportYeti relies mainly on publicly available customs and manifest data, plus a third-party feed for Mexico.
ImportGenius takes a broader approach—licensing U.S. Customs data directly and supplementing it with multiple government and private sources. Through these enrichments, we deliver deeper, more reliable intelligence that goes beyond raw records, giving professionals the accuracy and context they need to act with confidence.
How ImportGenius helps you find opportunities in the global trade
From raw data to actionable profiles
ImportGenius transforms raw data into actionable insights with the AI-powered Genius Company Profiler. You can analyze multiple companies at once, complete with backgrounds, shipment trends, potential synergies, and contact details—helping cut research time and act with greater confidence.
By contrast, ImportYeti offers only filters, shipment details, and raw exports, leaving interpretation to the user.
Fresh data, faster decisions
ImportYeti updates its datasets only once a month, with added delays for exports, Mexico shipments, and customs clearance–sometimes up to a year.
ImportGenius delivers a sharper edge with daily updates to U.S. shipment data, ensuring you’re always working with the most recent records. That means you can track suppliers, competitors, and market shifts in a timely manner: an essential advantage for sourcing, logistics, and compliance teams who can’t afford to wait weeks for updates.
Verified supplier contacts for real outreach
ImportGenius has a dedicated research team that verifies supplier contact information upon request.
Meanwhile, ImportYeti’s contact information is limited to what appears in public shipment records, which may be incomplete or outdated. This may leave gaps in supplier contact details.
Professional support when you need it most
ImportYeti’s support is largely handled by its founders and core team over email. While this can feel personal, it may lack the structured support larger organizations often require.
ImportGenius provides a U.S.-based support team available by chat, phone, and email, with dedicated enterprise support for larger clients. That means faster answers, consistent service, and a partner you can count on as your business grows.
