Dukanix vs Paid B2B Portals: Which Suits Your Factory?

A manufacturer has several ways to find new dealers. This page compares two models, subscription and per-lead portals, and a free-to-join verified network like Dukanix, so you can decide what fits your factory. It compares how the models work, not the quality of any company.

Comparison of paid B2B portals and Dukanix
Topic	Subscription / per-lead portals	Dukanix
Cost to list	A basic listing is often free but limited. Better ranking and buyer leads usually need a paid plan.	Free to register and list.
Fees on enquiries	Subscriptions or per-lead credits are paid whether or not an order follows.	No charge per enquiry or per lead. A small service fee applies only on orders that close, agreed in writing first.
Verification badge	Often a paid add-on. For example, IndiaMART's help pages describe TrustSEAL as an add-on that needs an active GST registration.	Included. Every supplier is checked with a GST, Udyam or trade licence proof before listing. GST itself is optional.
Who handles the enquiry	You answer buyer requirements yourself. On lead-based portals the same requirement can reach several sellers.	Dukanix turns the requirement into a clear enquiry (product, quantity, delivery city), sends it to the matching supplier and helps confirm the terms.
Network size	Large and established, with far more buyers.	Early-stage and smaller. Supplier network is strongest in MP, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, and growing.

Portal plans and prices change. Check each portal's current terms before you decide. Portal names are used only to identify them and belong to their owners.

When a paid portal may suit you better

You want the largest possible number of buyer enquiries and have staff to answer many of them quickly.
You sell to export buyers or to buyers who already search on those portals by name.
Your product is in a category where Dukanix has no suppliers or buyers yet.

When Dukanix may suit you better

You want new dealers without paying a subscription or per-lead fee first.
You prefer fewer, clearer enquiries with the product, quantity and delivery city already stated.
You want your business verified without buying a paid badge.

You do not have to choose one

Listing on Dukanix is free, so it can sit alongside any portal you already use. Track which channel gives you real orders, and put your time and money into that one. Read how we verify factories and the supplier FAQ.
