Choose the Right Alibaba.com Plan for Your Business

The Right Plan Depends on the Business
Not always the best

The cheapest plan is not always the best choice.

Not always necessary

The most expensive plan is not always necessary.

A membership decision should be based on what your business actually needs.

We should first understand where you can compete — then choose the tools needed to execute.

Your Plan Determines How Many RFQs You Can Quote Each Month

Monthly RFQ quotations

Basic20 / month
Plus40 / month

Verified Supplier60 / month
Learn About Suryan's RFQ Strategy

More RFQ quota does not automatically mean more orders. The quality of RFQ selection, quotation, pricing and follow-up still matters.

Product showcases

Basic5 showcases
Plus20 showcases
Pro20 showcases
Verified Supplier60 showcases

The key question is not “how many showcases do I get?” - it is “which products deserve to be showcased?”

Product category capacity matters for diverse manufacturers

Basic, Plus and Pro currently include 3 product categories; Verified Supplier includes unlimited categories. A focused product family has very different requirements from a company selling across several unrelated industrial categories. This is why Suryan reviews the actual catalogue before recommending a membership.
