Why ShipManifestPro wins

  • Unlimited searches — no daily caps to work around
  • CSV export turns search results into outreach lists immediately
  • Watchlist alerts notify you when prospect shipping patterns change
  • Pattern analysis helps you identify prospects at the right moment to call
  • Purpose-built for freight sales, not general research

Where ImportYeti falls short (for freight brokers)

  • Search caps limit how much prospecting you can do per day
  • No export functionality — have to manually copy data
  • No alert system for tracking prospect activity over time
  • General-purpose tool not optimized for sales workflow
  • Data gaps on smaller importers and less-covered categories

Our Verdict

Start with ImportYeti to understand what US manifest data can do for you. When you're ready to build a serious prospecting system with unlimited searches, exports, and alerts, ShipManifestPro is the natural upgrade. The $49/month pays for itself the first time you close a new account you found through the data.
