Stop paying for trade data you can’t use
TradeInt locks you into fixed plans with gaps in key market coverage, whether it fits your business or not. ImportGenius takes a fundamentally different approach. With nearly 20 years of experience, we believe trade intelligence should adapt to how your business operates, not force you into coverage you don’t need. That’s why ImportGenius lets you build your data footprint country by country, starting with U.S. trade data and expanding into the lanes that actually move your market.
ImportGenius vs TradeInt
ImportGenius is trusted by global leading companies
Why ImportGenius is the best platform for trade intelligence
Transparent, flexible pricing
ImportGenius offers multiple plan options with U.S. data included and optional à la carte country add-ons, so you only pay for what you need and cancel anytime on our monthly plans. We also offer discounted annual options for teams ready to scale.
Other platforms, including TradeInt, operate on annual-only, non-cancellable subscriptions, limiting flexibility if coverage needs change or priorities shift.
Verified, high-value global coverage that goes deeper than country counts
ImportGenius delivers direct, non-mirrored trade data from 25+ countries, including high-impact and hard-to-access trade corridors like the U.S.–Mexico border, the Panama Canal, Russia, and Ukraine. These lanes move global trade and drive real supply chain decisions.
Proven trust and data authority
ImportGenius trade data is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and investigative journalists worldwide. Our data is federal court-admissible and recognized for its accuracy and reliability.
TradeInt cites a wide range of data providers, but does not position legal-grade validation or court admissibility as a core differentiator.
Always up to date with daily U.S. shipment data
ImportGenius updates U.S. shipment data daily and refreshes international datasets as soon as they are released. This gives teams timely visibility into market movements, competitor activity, and emerging opportunities.
TradeInt notes ongoing data updates, though the platform does not disclose a standardized update cadence across markets or trade lanes.
Nearly two decades of trade intelligence expertise
TradeInt entered the market in 2018, while ImportGenius has spent nearly 20 years refining its data, platform, and processes to meet the real demands of businesses. That longevity translates into stronger data partnerships, deeper institutional knowledge, and tools that have been tested and improved across changing trade regulations, supply chain disruptions, and global market cycles.

How ImportGenius helps you find opportunities in the global trade
Profile companies fast with AI-powered intelligence
ImportGenius offers the Genius Company Profiler, which instantly delivers company backgrounds, shipment trends, trade relationships, and operational insights at scale. Combined with advanced HS Code lookup, teams can analyze products and companies without manual research.
TradeInt does not offer a comparable AI-powered company profiling tool designed for bulk analysis and opportunity discovery.
Download and analyze data without friction
ImportGenius provides clear, generous monthly download limits with full-field exports. No credit systems. No partial records. Data is designed to be immediately usable in Excel, BI tools, and internal workflows.
For TradeInt, their entry-level plan does not include Excel downloads of trade records, potentially adding friction to analysis and reporting.
Expert support, always on
ImportGenius customers get live chat, phone, and email support from a U.S.-based team in Arizona. Annual customers receive a dedicated team of trade analysts who can help pull custom reports and deliver deeper insights when timing matters.
TradeInt support is based in Singapore and provided via email, chat, and phone.
