AliHunter Pricing 2026: The Honest Review of Every Tier

If you searched "alihunter pricing", "alihunter pricing official", "alihunter chrome extension pricing", or "alihunter.io pricing", the answer in 2026 is $29.99/month for the Pro plan — the only useful tier. This guide breaks down what $29.99 actually unlocks, what the free version doesn't include, and the free Chrome extension that covers 80-90% of the AliHunter workflow at $0/month.

AliHunter pricing at a glance (2026)

[Source: alihunter.io, retrieved May 2026]

AliHunter's Pro plan is billed monthly through alihunter.io's checkout. No annual discount is publicly visible on the pricing page; cancel month-to-month if it's not earning its $29.99. There's no formal free trial of Pro — the limited free version exists permanently, and you upgrade in-place when you hit a paywalled feature.

Install AliShopping Tools free from the Chrome Web Store if you want the free alternative — covers the AliExpress research workflow plus Shopify store spy at $0/month.

What AliHunter Pro ($29.99/mo) actually unlocks

AliHunter is positioned as an "AliExpress and Shopify research tool" with a Chrome extension that runs on AliExpress product pages. Pro unlocks:

• Historical price charts — full price history graph for every product, not just current price.
• Sales charts (7/14/30/90-day) — order velocity visualized across multiple windows.
• Supplier risk grade — A through F grading on supplier reliability based on AliHunter's internal scoring.
• Advanced filters — filter products by sales velocity, rating, supplier grade, etc., when browsing categories.
• Shopify export to CSV — export AliExpress products to Shopify-compatible CSV for bulk import. This is AliHunter's signature feature.
• Saved products — bookmark products for tracking across sessions.
• No ads / branding — Pro removes the AliHunter watermarks and any in-extension ads.

What AliHunter Free includes (and doesn't)

The free AliHunter extension shows:

• Basic product data (current price, basic seller info)
• Limited current order count

The free tier does NOT include:

• Historical price chart
• Sales velocity charts
• Supplier risk grade (full scoring)
• Advanced filters
• Shopify CSV export
• Saved products / cross-session tracking

So the meaningful AliHunter workflow lives in Pro at $29.99/mo — the free tier is largely a teaser.

What AliHunter Pro does NOT do (even at $29.99)

• AI Winning Verdict. AliHunter shows you data — price history, sales velocity, supplier grade — but doesn't synthesize a Buy/Hold/Pass decision. You interpret raw signals.
• Profit margin simulator. No in-context margin calculation with realistic ad spend.
• Supplier compare (same product, multiple sellers). AliHunter scores the current seller but doesn't surface every other seller of the same product for comparison.
• Shopify store spy / app detection. AliHunter doesn't spy Shopify stores — it exports TO Shopify, not from.
• Fake-review pattern detection. Not in scope.
• Niche discovery. AliHunter is product-page-driven; it doesn't surface trending niches.

If your workflow needs any of these, $29.99/month covers half the picture.

AliHunter vs the free alternative — feature-by-feature

Honest read — at the AliExpress data layer (price history, sales charts, supplier risk), the free alternative reaches feature parity with AliHunter Pro and beats it on AI verdict, profit simulator, supplier compare, and Shopify store spy. AliHunter Pro's one genuine win is Shopify CSV export — bulk-importing AliExpress products into Shopify via CSV is AliHunter's specialty and not replicated free.

The AliHunter ROI math

For AliHunter Pro at $29.99/month to earn its subscription, it needs to unlock decisions you wouldn't make with the free alternative.

If you're not bulk-importing AliExpress products into Shopify via CSV, AliHunter Pro's $29.99/mo isn't paying for itself. The free Chrome extension covers the research workflow; manual import for the products you actually decide to test is fast.

Where AliHunter still wins

Honest acknowledgment of where AliHunter earns its $29.99:

• Shopify CSV export. This is AliHunter's signature feature and the genuine reason to pay. Bulk import 50-100 AliExpress products to Shopify with prices, images, and descriptions in one CSV is a real time-saver if your workflow includes it.
• Specialized A-F supplier grading. AliHunter's supplier grade is a single-letter shorthand that's easy to scan. The free alternative shows multi-signal risk data (which is more accurate for decisions but takes a second longer to read).
• Sales charts with 90-day window. AliHunter's 90-day chart is a real strength. The free alternative shows trend-phase classification (Emerging/Growing/Peak/Declining) which is workflow-equivalent for most decisions but lacks the visual chart.
• Advanced filters at the category level. Browsing AliExpress categories with sales-velocity + supplier-grade filters is faster than scrolling unfiltered. The free alternative has filters but AliHunter's are tuned specifically for dropshipper workflows.

For agencies and bulk importers, $360/year for AliHunter Pro is reasonable. For solo operators doing 5-10 product decisions a month and importing manually, it's not.

Where the free Chrome extension wins

• AI Winning Verdict synthesizes raw data into a Buy/Hold/Pass decision. AliHunter shows the data; you interpret it. At 20 product decisions a week, the synthesis matters.
• Profit margin simulator does the math AliHunter expects you to do in a spreadsheet later. In-context profit math means you skip bad products earlier.
• Supplier compare — finding the same product across multiple AliExpress sellers and comparing rating/price/shipping is a workflow-level win AliHunter doesn't address at any tier.
• Shopify store spy — AliHunter exports TO Shopify; the free extension also spies competitor Shopify stores (200+ apps detected, live sales, revenue estimation). Two surfaces, one extension.
• Free forever, no account — install once, no expiration, no signup, runs locally.

The honest verdict

AliHunter Pro at $29.99/month is a fair price for operators who specifically need bulk Shopify CSV export — that's the real product. For the broader research workflow (what to sell, who to source from, how much margin), a free Chrome extension covers it.

If you've never tried the free alternative, install it before subscribing to AliHunter. If after a week the only thing you miss is Shopify CSV export, $29.99/mo is a reasonable add-on for that specific feature. If the free extension covers your workflow end-to-end, you've saved $360/year.

FAQ

How much does AliHunter cost in 2026?

AliHunter (alihunter.io) charges $29.99/month for the Pro plan as of May 2026, billed monthly. There's no annual discount publicly visible on the pricing page. A free version exists with limited features (basic product data, limited order count) but the useful workflow (historical price chart, sales charts, supplier grade, Shopify export) requires Pro. [Source: alihunter.io, May 2026]

Is AliHunter free?

Partially. The free AliHunter Chrome extension shows basic current product data and limited order info, but historical price charts, sales velocity charts, supplier risk grade, advanced filters, and Shopify CSV export are all paywalled at $29.99/month Pro. The fully-free alternative that covers Pro's research feature set is AliShopping Tools — no signup, no trial clock.

Is AliHunter Pro worth $29.99 per month?

For operators who bulk-import AliExpress products to Shopify via CSV (50+ products at a time), yes — Shopify CSV export is AliHunter's signature feature and not replicated free. For solo operators doing 5-10 product decisions a month and manually importing winners, no — the free Chrome extension covers AI verdict, profit math, supplier risk, and supplier compare at $0/month.

What is the difference between AliHunter Free and Pro?

Free AliHunter shows only basic current data (price now, current order count). Pro at $29.99/mo unlocks historical price charts, full sales velocity charts (7/14/30/90-day), supplier risk grade A-F, advanced category filters, Shopify CSV export, and saved products across sessions. The free tier is essentially a teaser — the meaningful workflow lives in Pro.

Does AliHunter have a free trial?

There's no published free trial of Pro as of May 2026. Instead, AliHunter has a permanent limited free tier and you upgrade to Pro in-place when you hit a paywalled feature. Cancellation is month-to-month — no annual lock-in if you change your mind after 30 days.

AliHunter vs Commerce Inspector — which should I pick?

Different tools, different jobs. AliHunter is AliExpress-focused with Shopify CSV export; Commerce Inspector is Shopify-spy focused with deeper store-monitoring data. If your workflow is "research on AliExpress, import to Shopify in bulk", AliHunter wins. If your workflow is "reverse-engineer competitor Shopify stores", Commerce Inspector wins. For doing both in one tool, the free Chrome extension stack covers both surfaces.

Is the AliHunter Chrome extension different from alihunter.io?

The Chrome extension is the user-facing surface; alihunter.io is the company website + pricing page + account dashboard. They're the same product. The "alihunter chrome extension pricing" search reflects the same $29.99/mo Pro plan as "alihunter.io pricing".

Can I export Shopify products with the free Chrome extension?

The free AliShopping Tools extension exports product data (photos, descriptions, reviews, specs) to text/markdown formats and supports a basic CSV export, but it's not a one-click bulk-Shopify-import like AliHunter's. For AliShopping Tools, the workflow is: research with the free extension, then manually import winners (faster than CSV when you're testing 5-10 products/month). For high-volume bulk imports, AliHunter Pro's CSV export is the right tool.
