Our verdict
Choose Bitus if you want China-direct sourcing with branding and a human agent, from 5 orders a day, without a subscription.
Choose Zendrop if you want a self-serve app with a ready-made catalog and subscription tooling.
Plenty of sellers start on a platform catalog and move to direct sourcing once a product proves itself — the two models are stages, not enemies.
