Understanding DS-Mate Plans
5 min read
Compare DS-Mate subscription plans (Free, Starter, Growth, and Pay-As-You-Go) and find the right fit for your dropshipping business.
1Plan Overview
DS-Mate offers four self-serve subscription tiers. The Free plan is for validating the workflow, fulfilling manually through the DS-Mate supplier only. The Starter plan is priced at $19.90 per month or $190 per year and unlocks auto-fulfillment, own supplier accounts, and the Messages inbox. The Growth plan at $39.90 per month or $380 per year is for established multi-channel sellers, with a higher order cap and Hot Products discovery. The Pay-As-You-Go plan has no monthly fee and no monthly order cap. Instead it charges 20¢ per order fulfilled by the DS-Mate supplier (30¢ via your own), deducted from a service-credit balance. A separate, sales-assisted Enterprise tier is also available for teams that need SSO, on-premises deployment, or custom SLAs.
2Plan Limits and Features
Each plan has specific limits. Free: 3,000 products, 30 orders per month, 1 store, 200 variants, and no guest access. Starter: 20,000 products, 50 orders per month, 2 stores, 2,000 variants, and 1 guest. Growth: 75,000 products, 200 orders per month, 5 stores, 10,000 variants, and up to 10 guests. Pay-As-You-Go: 75,000+ products, unlimited orders (billed per order), 5+ stores, 10,000+ variants, and up to 10 guests.
3Usage Tracking
Your current usage is displayed on the Plan and Billing page in Settings. Progress bars show your consumption against each limit: green when under 80%, amber between 80-99%, and red when at or above 100%. This helps you anticipate when you might need to upgrade to a higher plan.
4Free Trial
New users may be eligible for a free trial of paid features. During the trial, you have access to Starter plan features. The trial badge in your plan card shows how many days remain. When the trial ends, you can choose to subscribe to a paid plan or continue with the Free plan.
