Comilmart Supplier Plans for Chinese Factories (2026)
Comilmart Team
October 12, 2026
Before you apply, it helps to know how Comilmart supplier plans for Chinese factories work. There are four annual plans, Standard, Starter, Verified and Verified Pro, priced in US dollars, and they differ in verification speed, search boost, showcase slots, quotation allowance and product image limits. This guide sets out exactly what each plan includes as of October 2026, how to match a plan to the way your sales team works, and how to think about whether a paid plan pays for itself. Prices and features can change, so always check the plan page before you commit.

This is the plan table we have; it lists only the features above for each plan. Where a feature is not listed for a plan, we do not know whether it is included, so check the live plan page for the full detail, including how each feature is defined. Applying for an account is free whichever plan you choose, at /apply-manufacturer.
Standard plan: free, to start and to learn
Standard costs nothing and uses the normal verification queue. It has no search boost, allows three images per product, and allows up to 10 broadcast quotations. It suits a factory that wants to see how the platform works, list a first range and answer a small number of buyer requests before paying anything. If you receive many requests and run out of quotations, that is a signal the plan has done its job and an upgrade may be worth considering.
Starter plan: faster verification and more quotations
Starter is $99 per year. The listed features are fast-tracked verification, a light search boost, three showcase slots, 50 quotations and four images per product. It is the first plan to look at if you want a quicker review than the normal queue and room to respond to many more buyer requests than Standard allows. The form itself states that admin review takes about 24 to 48 hours, as covered in our guide on how to register on Comilmart; the plan decides which queue your application is in.
Verified plan: unlimited quotations, analytics and a badge
Verified is $300 per year with a moderate search boost, 10 showcase slots, unlimited quotations, buyer analytics, a Trade Assurance badge and five images per product. For a sales team that responds to requests every day, unlimited quotations removes the counting. Check the plan page for what the buyer analytics cover and where the badge appears. A badge does not guarantee that a buyer will order.
Verified Pro plan: top boost, more showcase slots and inspection tracking
Verified Pro is $800 per year with the top search boost, 30 showcase slots, inspection tracking and seven images per product. It is aimed at factories with a wide product range that want the most visibility and want to track inspections. The table we used does not list quotation limits, analytics or a badge for Verified Pro. Do not assume they carry over from Verified; read the plan page, or ask through live chat or /contact-us before you buy.
How to choose between Comilmart supplier plans
Match the plan to your workflow, not to the size of your company:
- Few products, few enquiries expected: Standard is enough to start. Three images per product is workable if each image is well chosen.
- Many buyer requests, a small team: Starter's 50 quotations or Verified's unlimited quotations matter most. Count how many requests you could answer well in a year, not how many you could answer in a rush. Our guide on responding to RFQs covers quality of response.
- A broad catalog: showcase slots (3, 10 or 30) and image limits (3, 4, 5 or 7) matter. Products with many variants benefit from more images.
- You want to know what buyers look at: buyer analytics is listed for Verified.
- Your orders involve inspections: inspection tracking is listed for Verified Pro.
Does a paid plan pay for itself? A way to think about it
Comilmart does not guarantee buyers, orders, volumes or sales, so a plan fee is a cost you carry whether or not orders arrive. A simple way to judge it is to compute how much gross profit one typical order would bring, then see how many orders cover the annual fee. For example, if a typical order left you with $500 in gross profit after production and shipping, a $99 plan or a $300 plan would be covered by one order and an $800 plan by two. Those numbers are made up purely as an illustration. Substitute your own margins, and be honest about how many orders you could realistically win from enquiries. Divided across 12 months, $99 is $8.25 a month, $300 is $25, and $800 is about $66.67.
It also helps to understand the market you are paying to reach. According to the World Bank, Sub-Saharan Africa's growth was 4.1% in 2025 and projected at 4.3% in 2026 (World Bank, 6 October 2026), and China's customs data reported by Xinhua show exports to Africa up 20.2% in January to May 2025 (Xinhua). That is context for planning, not a forecast of your own results.
