Sourci and Epic Sourcing are two of Australia’s most visible sourcing agencies. Here’s an honest side-by-side comparison of pricing, services, team structure, and who each is best suited for.
If you’re an Australian business looking to source products from China or Vietnam, you’ve probably come across both Epic Sourcing and Sourci in your research. They’re two of the most visible sourcing agencies in the Australian market — and if you’re trying to decide between them, you deserve an honest, detailed comparison rather than a sales pitch.
Fair warning upfront: this article is written by the Epic Sourcing team. We’ve done our best to present the facts accurately and fairly, because we believe Australian businesses make better decisions with good information than with spin. We’ll compare both agencies across the things that actually matter: services, pricing transparency, geographic reach, team structure, and who each agency is best suited for.
Let’s get into it.
Sourci is a Melbourne-based sourcing company founded by Ellie Vaisman. They position themselves as “Australia’s largest sourcing company” and connect Australian businesses with verified manufacturers in China, India, and Vietnam. They focus primarily on eCommerce brands and product-based businesses, and they’ve built a visible brand through aggressive marketing and a strong online presence.
Sourci’s team operates from Melbourne with sourcing staff in international markets. They’ve built a reputation for responsiveness and client communication, with reviews frequently highlighting their accessibility and proactive updates.
Epic Sourcing is a Sydney-based sourcing and supply chain management company (we’re at Alexandria NSW, if you want to look us up). We’ve been operating since 2019 and have teams in Australia, China, and Vietnam. We work across the full spectrum of sourcing — from simple white-label imports to complex custom product development and full supply chain management.
We’ve built our model specifically around transparent, flat-fee pricing and a no-kickbacks policy, which is a direct response to what we saw as a significant trust problem in the sourcing industry.

Verdict: Sourci covers one more market (India). Epic Sourcing’s strength is its deep presence in both China and Vietnam with dedicated teams in those locations. For China and Vietnam — the primary sourcing markets for most Australian product businesses — both agencies have coverage.
Epic Sourcing publishes transparent, flat-fee pricing on our pricing page:

There are no hidden factory kickbacks, no minimum order requirements, and no lock-in contracts on the Interim SCM plan.
Sourci does not publish a public pricing structure on their website as of May 2026. Based on publicly available information, Sourci operates on a commission or service fee model, though the specific rates are not transparently listed.
Verdict for pricing: Epic Sourcing is the clear winner on transparency. Our full fee schedule is public, no inquiry required.
Sourci is Melbourne-headquartered with international sourcing staff. Epic Sourcing has a physical office in Alexandria, Sydney, with dedicated teams embedded in both China and Vietnam. Our Out Source and Secret Source packages include a bilingual Australian-based account manager who bridges local and factory-level communication.
Verdict: If you’re based in Melbourne, Sourci’s location is a minor convenience. If deep on-the-ground factory relationships matter, Epic Sourcing’s team structure is worth considering.
