Founded by the creators of the Shopify Hurrify app, AliShark is one of many dropshipping product research tools in the market.
Compared to others, AliShark has its own strengths and weaknesses which we’ll review thoroughly in this post.
Let’s dive right in!
What is AliShark?
AliShark is a powerful dropshipping product research tool that helps you find winning dropshipping products.
The tool provides you with in-depth data on the number of orders, wishlists, product performance, sale trends, top countries, and top dropshippers. Its strengths lie in its up-to-date data and various advanced filters.
Additionally, AliShark has a built-in Video Generator tool, which helps you quickly create ad videos to test various products.
AliShark Features Review
To help you have a closer look at AliShark and decide if it is worth the money, let’s review all features that the tool has to offer comprehensively.
AliShark Product Sources Review
The tool scrapes data from 2 primary sources: AliExpress and Banggood.
You’re probably very familiar with AliExpress already. It’s an online eCommerce site owned by Alibaba Group that sells products globally. Because it offers a wide variety of goods at a low price, many dropshippers start using AliExpress to find or even source dropshipping products for their business.
Banggood is a similar global eCommerce platform founded by Aaron Chen, a Chinese businessman. Although not as reputable as AliExpress, it still has an enormous number of regular customers and an excellent site to research winning dropshipping products with less competition.
AliShark Product Information Review
By clicking on each product, you will have access to full product data, including price, review count, the total number of orders, the number of wishlists, and added date.
![AliShark basic product data](jpg/alishark-basic-product-data6d5a.jpg?resize=1024%2C553&ssl=1)
With the quick view tab, you will be able to see a snapshot of the number of sales the product generated in the past few days.
You can also click on the “Show on AliExpress” button to open AliExpress listings.
Additionally, by clicking “Show more like this,” AliShark will give you a list of products that looks similar to the one you choose.
If you dropship on Shopify, “Add to your Shopify” will instantly import your products to your Shopify store with all the basic information.
Another button is “Generate Video,” which brings you to AliShark’s Video Generator tool. We’ll review this feature later.
Scrolling down the product page a little bit, there’s more data you can analyze.
![AliShark product performance](jpg/alishark-product-performance30f7.jpg?resize=1024%2C379&ssl=1)
The product performance displays the order trend and wishlist trend of a product in the last month. AliShark claims to work around the clock to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date data possible.
Next is the all time sales data. It shows the product order and wishlist trend in the last year.
![AliShark all time sales data](jpg/alishark-all-time-sale-trendb4cb.jpg?resize=1024%2C383&ssl=1)
Finally, we have top countries and top dropshippers, which are useful to better target ad audiences to increase conversion rates and estimate your competition.
![AliShark top countries and dropshippers](jpg/alishark-top-countries-and-dropshippers2fec.jpg?resize=1024%2C468&ssl=1)
Even though AliShark provides quite comprehensive product data, it would be more amazing to have information such as dropshipping stores, similar products on Amazon, recommended selling price, profit margin, or Facebook interest suggestions.
AliShark Search & Filters Review
Now, let’s review AliShark’s search and filters, which are some of the most important features that any excellent product research tool must offer.
Search & Sort
Like most other dropshipping product research tools, you can enter a keyword to AliShark’s search bar to instantly find products you are interested in. You can also change the search functionality to “Exclude” to remove specific products from your results.
![AliShark search and sort](jpg/alishark-search-and-sort0b45.jpg?resize=1024%2C130&ssl=1)
The sort function allows for ordering products by order count, growth rate, wishlist count, and price.
Categories & Niches
AliShark gives you the ability to show only products in particular categories and niches. However, it only includes the top-level ones. For example, you can set the filter to only show clothing products but cannot select child categories like dresses, shirts, skirts, etc.
![AliShark categories and niches filters](jpg/alishark-categories-and-niches-filters2ce6.jpg?resize=215%2C403&ssl=1)
Top Countries
Next is the top countries filter. With this, you can display products that are mostly sold in specific countries.
![AliShark top countries filter](jpg/alishark-top-countries-filter780a.jpg?resize=203%2C358&ssl=1)
Shipping Filters
AliShark allows you to filter out products based on shipping methods (ePacket or AliExpress Standard Shipping) and countries where they ship from (US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, and Australia).
![AliShark shipping filters](jpg/alishark-shipping-filtersbce4.jpg?resize=214%2C324&ssl=1)
Product Detail Filters
Besides the basic search functionalities mentioned above, you can also filter products based on price, number of orders, order period, number of daily orders, number of reviews, wishlist count, and date added to AliShark.
![AliShark product detail filters](jpg/alishark-product-detail-filters2e3b.jpg?resize=227%2C599&ssl=1)
Advanced Filters
Other advanced filters AliShark provides are With a Video, Dropshipped, Accepts Paypal and Saved Only.
![AliShark advanced filters](jpg/alishark-advanced-filters6529.jpg?resize=230%2C237&ssl=1)
- With a Video: Only shows products that have videos on AliExpress.
- Dropshipped: Only display items that are being dropshipped (have multiple orders by the same customer).
- Accepts Paypal: Only shows products that accept Paypal.
- Saved Only: Only show “Save for Later” products.
All in all, AliShark gives you enough features to quickly discover profitable dropshipping products and winning dropshipping niches to sell. However, we still want to see more advanced filters like saturation degree, number of stores selling, products with fast delivery, etc.
AliShark Save For Later Browsing Review
You can save products to your “Save for Later” collection by clicking on the heart icon. It’s simple but useful when you want to quickly save eye-catching products and inspect them in more detail later.

AliShark Video Generator Review
With Video Generator, you can quickly create an advertising video with images imported from products or uploaded from your computers.
This tool offers some non-copyrighted music tracks to choose from. You can also add top banner text, bottom banner text, ending screen text, and adjust the time between images. Additionally, it gives you the ability to add your store name and logo to the video, which is great to brand your dropshipping business.
Having reviewed the AliShark Video Generator tool, we think there’s not much you can do with it. Still, it can come in handy if you want to quickly craft together an advertising video to test dropshipping products.

AliShark Tutorials & Support Review
AliShark lacks proper tutorials to get you started with all of its features, as well as dropshipping in general. But, the tool is relatively easy to use, so you wouldn’t have any trouble using it after a few minutes.
AliShark has decent support. Typically, they will reply to your query within 24 hours. You can click on the messenger icon in the bottom right corner inside the main dashboard to directly chat with the support team and send them an email via support@twozillas.com.
Alternatively, you can join its private group which has more than 5000 members.

AliShark Pricing Review
AliShark offers one simple pricing model, which costs 20$/month. You can start a 2-day trial for 1$ before actually committing your time and money. If you don’t like it, you can cancel the subscription at any time.
Compared to other similar product research tools like Sell The Trend, Ecomhunt, Seller Pulse, or Niche Scraper, AliShark’s price is reasonable and much more affordable.
