ImportKey vs Datamyne

Comparison ImportKey Datamyne
Pricing Starts at $29.99/month, providing a lower-cost entry point for trade-data research. This makes the platform accessible without requiring a sales-led quote to start. A free 1-month trial is also available on the Monthly Enterprise plan. Pricing is undisclosed and requires contacting sales. Final costs therefore depend on the selected Datamyne package.
Access & Signup Online signup and free-trial access make it easy to get started. Customers can begin researching without a lengthy sales process. Requires a demo request and sales consultation. Access is therefore more sales-led from the start.
Data Coverage & Flexibility U.S. import/export data is the core offering, with Mexico Sea & Air available as an optional $9.99/month add-on. This gives users a focused U.S. dataset with an inexpensive Mexico expansion option. Additional market coverage is locked behind higher-cost, sales-negotiated packages rather than a simple add-on.
Customer Support Live chat, email and phone support are included across all plans. Customers get a direct, responsive support channel regardless of subscription level. Support is described as predominantly offshore. The comparison therefore highlights a different support model.
Ease of Use Search, filtering, company profiles and visual analytics support practical trade research. These tools help users move from raw shipment records to usable company intelligence. The interface is described as a legacy workflow requiring more navigation. Users may need additional steps to reach the same type of information.
Contact Information Buyer/shipper email, phone and address are available through company profiles where present. This makes the data useful for sourcing and sales research. Contact details are embedded within trade-data results and company profiles. Availability depends on the underlying records and selected access.
Search & Filtering General Search browsing is unlimited on every plan, with Advanced Search covering up to 50 companies/day on Personal, 100/day on Business, and unlimited companies on Enterprise. Provides trade-data search across supported markets. Search depth depends on the available dataset and package.
Downloads Downloads are unlimited across Personal, Business and Enterprise plans, with each export holding up to 20,000 shipment records per CSV/XLS file. This removes monthly download ceilings entirely. Download access depends on the selected package. The available capacity varies according to subscription.
Historical Data Full BOL access ranges from 2 years on Personal to 10 years on Enterprise. This gives higher-tier users substantially deeper U.S. shipment history. Historical access depends on the selected Datamyne subscription. The exact history available varies by package.
Enterprise Value Enterprise combines 10 years of BOL data, unlimited Advanced Search and unlimited downloads. It also provides 10 user licences and up to 100 alerts. Datamyne's enterprise packages are typically higher-cost and require custom sales negotiation rather than clear, published pricing tiers.
Frequently Asked Questions

Read some regularly asked questions

Where does the data come from?
Shipment manifest data comes from bills of lading for shipments entering or leaving the United States through U.S. Customs. ImportKey organizes the available bill-of-lading information into searchable trade records.
Which plan is best for me?
ImportKey offers Personal, Business and Enterprise plans. Personal includes 1 user licence with up to 50 Advanced Search company lookups per day, Business includes 3 user licences with up to 100 Advanced Search company lookups per day, and Enterprise includes 10 user licences with unlimited Advanced Search. General Search browsing and file downloads are unlimited on every plan, with each export holding up to 20,000 shipment records per CSV/XLS file.
Why are a few shipment records duplicated?
Similar records can appear when multiple House BOLs or Simple BOLs are linked to a Master BOL, when shipment records are updated, or when several LCL shipments share the same BOL number and product details.
What can I search for?
Search for products, company names and addresses, BOL numbers, HS codes, ports of lading, suppliers and buyers using ImportKey's trade-data search tools.
What are the key fields and descriptions?
Arrival date — date received at a U.S. port · Cargo description — goods shipped · Quantity — number of items · Weight — shipment weight including packaging · BOL — Master Bill of Lading number · Consignee — buyer · Shipper — party that shipped the goods.
Why does the bill of lading have blank consignee and shipper fields?
Some companies petition the U.S. government to remove their names, addresses and overseas suppliers from public bill-of-lading records. In some cases, company details may still appear in the cargo description.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my account anytime?
Yes. Accounts can be upgraded or downgraded at any time. Upgrades are refunded on a prorated basis, while a downgrade takes effect at the next monthly billing cycle.
How do I find a supplier's contact info?
Supplier records may include phone numbers or email addresses available in the trade data. When details are missing, searching the company name, address and name variations on search engines can help identify additional contact information.
Why can't I find a company I am looking for?
A company may import under a subsidiary or related company name, use a third-party export agent, or ship only by air. Try searching the company address and related company names to broaden the search.
Why choose ImportKey over this competitor?
ImportKey combines $29.99/month starting pricing, daily U.S. import updates, advanced search, buyer and supplier intelligence, company contacts, live chat, email and phone support, unlimited monthly exports of up to 20,000 shipment records per CSV/XLS file, and a free 1-month trial on the Monthly Enterprise plan.
