Frequently asked questions

Is it free for engineers?+
Trial plan is free — post up to 2 RFQs, browse all verified suppliers, and use Jim AI. Starter ($100/mo) unlocks 10 RFQs per month. Business and Enterprise are unlimited.
How are suppliers verified?+
Our team manually reviews supplier profiles including company name, specialties, and contact details. Verified suppliers display a checkmark badge and rank higher in search results.
What is the AI Quote Scoring Engine?+
When you receive quotes, our AI evaluates each one on price (vs. market), delivery speed, supplier rating, and compliance score — giving you a composite score to compare at a glance instead of juggling spreadsheets.
Is this different from ThomasNet or Alibaba?+
ThomasNet is a passive directory — you browse and hope to get a response. Alibaba is global and unvetted. E&P Directory is an active RFQ platform: you post a requirement, suppliers compete for your business, and AI scores their bids. Plus Jim AI, a procurement engineer available 24/7.
How do I get started as a supplier?+
Create a free supplier account, fill in your company profile and specialties, and request verification. Once verified you'll start receiving RFQ invitations from engineers in your category. Featured and advertised listings are available for maximum exposure.
