Why businesses choose ImportGenius

Transparent, flexible pricing

ImportGenius includes U.S. data in both Essentials and Business plans, with optional country add-ons so you only pay for what you need. The Enterprise plan offers full customization. 

Trademo locks Essentials users into just one country and lacks à la carte flexibility across all tiers, except for their Enterprise plan. 

Dashboard with comprehensive data coverage of import and export data
Dashboard with comprehensive search results

Verified, high-value global coverage

ImportGenius offers 25+ regions with direct, non-mirrored data, including critical trade lanes like the U.S.–Mexico corridor and Panama Canal. Trademo lists more countries, but many are mirrored, not sourced firsthand.

Robust, credit-free downloads and real contact data

No credit systems. No partial fields.

ImportGenius gives you full, rich data exports—plus verified contact info researched by our internal intelligence team. It’s actionable data.

Trademo’s credit-based model can add a layer of complication in data access and downloads, and they tie contact access to a credit system, with variable availability that may add friction for every lookup.
