Fiorentis vs ThomasNet
A ThomasNet alternative for finding real companies — for $9.
ThomasNet is a long-standing directory of North American industrial suppliers. It is useful for US sourcing, but it only lists companies that registered themselves, ranking is influenced by paid placement, profiles go stale, and coverage stops at North America.
| ThomasNet | Fiorentis | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Self-listed directory, pay-to-rank | Reads the live web, neutral scoring |
| Coverage | North America only | Any country, English + local language |
| Freshness | Static profiles, often stale | Read live at search time |
| What you get | A directory listing | A scored list with evidence + exportable contacts |
| Price | Free to search; suppliers pay to rank | $9, one-time |
Pricing and terms are public 2026 list information and vary by plan, seats and region.
Who ThomasNet is for
ThomasNet is a strong fit for US procurement teams sourcing North American industrial suppliers.
