Reasons to choose SourceReady over ChatGPT

Built for Sourcing

Not General Chat

ChatGPT is designed for open-ended conversations across countless topics. SourceReady is built specifically for sourcing — with supplier data from 1.2M+ verified companies in 100+ countries, integrated trade records, certifications, and industry-specific filters that ChatGPT simply doesn’t have.

Verified Supplier Data

Cross-Referenced, Verified

ChatGPT can generate ideas and draft outreach templates, but it can’t access or validate real supplier profiles in a live, cross-verified database. SourceReady does — pulling data from trade shows, customs records, and certification bodies so you’re working with accurate, up-to-date information.

Full Workflow Automation

Auto-outreach to AI-quotes

While ChatGPT can help brainstorm or roleplay negotiations, SourceReady lets you search, contact, follow up, and compare quotes all in one platform. You get features like email integration, AI quote scoring, and always-on supplier agents — tools purpose-built for turning supplier lists into signed deals.

Living Ideation Engine

AI-Driven Trends, Renderings & BOM

SourceReady’s AI agents track trends across Amazon, Shopify, competitor sites, and other marketplaces to deliver real-time market intelligence. It generates on-trend product concepts with projected demand scores, lets you upload sketches or mood boards, and keeps a living pipeline of ideas that evolves as trends change — ready to turn into prototypes fast.

Frequently asked questions

Is SourceReady only for large companies?

Not at all. SourceReady is designed for startups, solo founders, and growing brands as much as for enterprise teams. Whether you're sourcing your first product or scaling your supplier network, we’ve got tools to support you.

Do I need to pay to see supplier details?

SourceReady uses a freemium model. You get a set number of free credits to explore detailed supplier profiles. For more in-depth data or ongoing access, we offer affordable monthly plans.

Can I share supplier shortlists with my team?

Yes — SourceReady allows you to save, annotate, and collaborate on supplier profiles in shared lists. Great for internal reviews, investor decks, or team decision-making.

How does the 24/7 AI agent actually help me?

Our AI assistant can:

1. Draft or translate supplier messages

2. Help you evaluate responses

3. Summarize factory details

4. Compare suppliers side by side

5. Give negotiation tips based on benchmarks

It’s like having a virtual sourcing manager working for you around the clock.
