Dromo offers a polished importer — but it stops short where teams need flexibility. CSVBox gives you deeper validations, direct integrations, higher row limits, and a simpler setup — all starting at $19/month.
Flatfile is designed for large enterprise data teams. CSVBox is built for builders — lightweight, intuitive, and developer-friendly.It’s simple by design — fewer steps, less setup, and no hidden surprises.
| What to Look For | Why It Matters | How CSVBox Wins |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Integration | Setup friction slows releases. | Drop in a single script — live in 15–30 mins. |
| Validation Power | Catch errors before they hit production. | Advanced schema + JS + server-side validations with row-, cell-, and table-level checks. |
| Complexity | More options shouldn’t mean confusion. | Streamlined, intuitive, mobile-ready UI anyone can use. |
| Row Limits | Many tools throttle data size. | Import 500K rows seamlessly — no forced upgrades. |
| Data Destinations | Copy-pasting data wastes time. | Push directly to DBs, APIs, or apps like Postgres, MySQL, Supabase, Airtable, etc. |
| Error Handling | Bad data creates support chaos. | Real-time error previews and downloadable error files. |
| Pricing | Predictability builds trust. | Public plans from $19/mo — no sales calls, no surprises. |
| Customization | Your importer should look native. | Full white-label, fonts, colors, language, and logo control. |
| API Stability | Breaking changes cost engineering time. | Backward-compatible since day one. Integrate once — it just works. |
