How EximDataX compares to Volza, Panjiva, and Import Genius.
We respect the work the incumbents have built. But the mid-market is left with two choices: Volza’s free-trial funnel, or Panjiva’s enterprise contract. EximDataX is the third option — published pricing, a real demo, and the same customs-grade data both depend on.
Precision over breadth
Customs-grade only. No marketplace scrapes. No community submissions. If the data is in our platform, a national customs authority published it.
Show, don't promise
No 50-credit trial. We open the platform and run your search live in a 30-minute call. You see the named buyers before you pay.
Mid-market pricing
$1,100 for six months. $1,799 for the year. Published. The enterprise tier exists for teams who need seats and integrations — not as the default contact form.
Head-to-head, dimension by dimension.

“We were sick of mid-market exporters paying enterprise prices for breadth they didn’t need, or trial credits that expired before they could evaluate the platform. So we built the version we wished existed: every market customs publishes, a real demo, and a price you can put on a single PO.”

Four honest answers before you click.
Why no free trial?
Free trials reward the curious, not the ready. We’d rather spend 30 minutes with a serious buyer than 30 days nurturing tire-kickers. The demo shows you EVERYTHING — not 50 records — on your own shipment. If we can’t earn the contract in that call, we don’t want it.
What if my country has anonymized customs records?
Six markets restrict importer/exporter names by law — Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil exports, parts of EU DUA, and a few others. We flag every anonymized row + we still surface the unredacted fields (port, HS code, FOB, supplier where allowed). For these markets, mirror-derivation often recovers names.
How fresh is the data?
Most markets refresh weekly. Some refresh daily. The platform shows the last-updated timestamp on every page so you never guess. Compare that to monthly competitor refreshes.
Can I really see it before paying?
Yes — a 30-minute live screen-share on your shipment, your HS code, your target markets. We open the platform on the call. You see your real buyers. If it doesn’t fit, we walk away.
See what your buyers are buying.
Then decide.
30 minutes. Your shipment. Your HS code. Real platform. If you don’t see something new about your market by the end of the call, we walk away. No follow-ups.
