| Industry Experience |
ImportKey was founded in 2018 and is built for shipment
research, supplier discovery and company trade intelligence. Its tools bring search,
company profiles and trade analysis into one workflow. |
ImportYeti was founded in 2021. It focuses on shipment-data research and
sourcing-related use cases. |
| Coverage |
U.S. import and export data is the core offering, with Mexico Sea
& Air available as a $9.99/month add-on. This gives users a focused U.S.
trade-data solution with optional Mexico coverage. |
Primarily covers U.S. and Mexico trade records. The platform is therefore more
concentrated on these markets. |
| Value Across Industries |
Supports sourcing, sales, competitor research, supplier analysis and
trade intelligence. The same shipment data can be used across multiple
business workflows. |
Offers packages focused on sourcing and logistics use cases. Its access and
functionality vary depending on the package selected. |
| Pricing Transparency & Flexibility |
Starts at $29.99/month with clearly defined plan access and
usage limits. Plans can be cancelled anytime, giving customers
flexibility as needs change. A free 1-month trial is also available
on the Monthly Enterprise plan. |
Publishes pricing for standard access, while Custom Plan pricing is limited. Some users
therefore need additional information to determine the final cost for their
requirements. |
| Data Sources |
Provides structured shipment records with company, product and
trade information. The data is organized for company and shipment research
rather than simple document lookup.
|
Primarily relies on customs/manifest data through public records and third-party feeds.
The platform centers on searchable U.S. shipment information. |
| Data Updates |
U.S. import data is updated daily, while export data is
updated monthly. This helps users research newer import shipment activity without
relying only on older records. |
Data is updated monthly, with delays varying by dataset. This can make the available
information less current for some research needs. |
| Contact Info Access |
Buyer and shipper email, phone and address are available
through company profiles where present. These details can support supplier
identification and sales research. |
Contact details are generally limited to information contained in shipment records.
Users may therefore need to use other sources when contact details are not present. |
| Search & Filtering |
Unlimited General Search is available on every plan, with
Advanced Search covering up to 50 companies/day on Personal, 100/day on Business, and
unlimited companies on Enterprise. |
Provides manual search and filtering of shipment records. The workflow is centered on
finding and reviewing available shipment information. |
| Downloads |
Downloads are unlimited across Personal, Business and Enterprise
plans, with each export holding up to 20,000 shipment records per CSV/XLS
file. |
Download access depends on the selected package. Available export capacity therefore
varies with the level of access purchased. |
| Customer Support |
Live chat, email and phone support are included across all
ImportKey plans. Customers have a consistent, direct support channel for product and
account questions. |
Support is handled directly by its founder/co-founder. This provides a direct route for
questions but is less structured than a dedicated support team. |
