SupplierSpy is a benchmark, not a marketplace. We don't take fees from suppliers. We don't take affiliate money. Rankings are pure math on public data.
Every supplier is scored on 8 dimensions using the same formula. Transparency is weighted heaviest because it's the hardest to fake.
Every supplier profile links to the public sources we used — company sites, stock filings, Shopify App Store, Trustpilot, Wikipedia.
No supplier on this list paid to be here or to rank higher. No ads. No affiliate deals that would flip our take.
