But what's the difference? And what should I use?

Currently we use SAINT to import the offline data.

E.g. product names and their specifications.

What you say does not limit that.

I still don't know the difference.

By the way. We are already working with SAINT.

And I'm learning Data Souce import. and that's why I'm asking about the difference.

SAINT import works on already collected key values for the "Product" variable in this case. however Data sources lets you import such key values in reports for the Product variable or any other variable.
