Best tools for Amazon FBA sellers in 2026
Seven tools compared on what they cost a solo seller, what the cheapest plan leaves out, and the billing traps behind each plan.
The short answer depends on where you are. Already selling? Start with Sellerboard ($19 a month, one month free with no card) to see your real profit per product. Still looking for a first private label product? Jungle Scout ($49 for one month, $29 a month billed yearly) plus Keepa's free tier is enough, and Sellerboard can wait for your first sale. Reselling other brands? SellerAmp SAS from $19.95 a month, next to Keepa. Move to Helium 10 ($99 a month billed yearly) only once keyword research and listing work fill your week. Most FBA sellers don't need a $129 suite on day one. They need to know which products actually make money after Amazon's fees, and what they're about to pay for. We compared seven Amazon FBA tools on exactly that: price, limits, trials, and what sellers report after the first renewal.
The ranking is editorial: a sponsored spot is always labeled on its card, and no affiliate link changes a score.

Scores on five criteria weighted for a seller running their own FBA account. Entry prices from official pricing pages in 2026, before tax. Keepa publishes no readable pricing page: its price is the one paying users report.
How we compared and scored
We didn't score these tools on the length of their feature lists. We compared them on what an FBA seller who pays for their own tools actually asks. What will this cost me each month, and what does the cheapest plan leave out? Will it show me my real margin after Amazon's fees? And what happens when I want to cancel? For each tool we pulled plans, limits, trials and guarantees from the vendor's own pricing page and help center. Then we read seller reviews, forum threads and extension reviews to find what never shows on a pricing grid: price rises, yearly renewals charged without a reminder, refund windows of seven days, free tiers cut overnight.
Usefulness carries the most weight (30%), because a tool only earns its fee if it solves a real FBA problem: knowing your profit, managing stock, finding a product, getting paid for lost units. Value for money and marketplace coverage come next (20% each): a solo seller's margin is thin, and a tool that doesn't support the marketplace you sell on is worth nothing to you. Ease of use and billing transparency close the grid (15% each). The same grid and the same scores apply on every language version of this page. Helium 10, Jungle Scout and SmartScout were already scored on other Labs pages: we use the reference score from our Amazon rankings.
- Usefulness for an FBA sellerWhat the tool really solves for an FBA account: profit, inventory, product research, reimbursements, ads.30%
- Value for moneyThe entry price and what it actually includes, before add-ons stack up.20%

The ranking is editorial: a sponsored spot is always labeled on its card, and no affiliate link changes a score.
Sellerboard
Sellerboard takes first place because it answers the question every FBA seller eventually asks: after referral fees, FBA fees, storage, ad spend, refunds and your cost of goods, what did you actually make on each product? Revenue in Seller Central looks great. Profit is a different number, and Sellerboard shows it in a real-time dashboard per product, per marketplace and per period.
The Standard plan costs $19 a month, or $15 a month billed yearly ($179 a year). It covers 3,000 orders a month, 150 review request emails a month, 4 extra seller accounts, 1 extra user and 3 automated reports. Professional, at $29 a month ($23 billed yearly), doubles the order limit to 6,000 and raises review emails to 6,000. Business ($39) goes to 15,000 orders and 4 users. A solo seller under 3,000 orders a month can stay on Standard.
Beyond profit, the feature list covers listing change alerts, PPC optimization, a repricer for FBA and FBM, inventory management, an LTV dashboard and lost inventory reimbursements. The pricing page doesn't make it clear which of these sit in which plan, so check the plan grid before you count on the repricer. Sellerboard is a Germany-based company founded in 2017, it works with all Amazon marketplaces and it reports more than 20,000 sellers. Accounts top out at 30,000 products.
The limits are honest ones. There's no product research and no keyword tool, so it won't help you find what to sell. And reviewers describe a dashboard that gets slow, with filters that reset themselves. It still holds 4.5 out of 5 across 162 reviews on a large review site, with most praise for clear profit numbers at a low price.
- Profit per product after fees, ads, refunds and cost of goods
- Cost of goods by batch, by period or by marketplace
- Works on every Amazon marketplace
- 1-month trial with no card on file
- ✓The cheapest serious profit dashboard on this page
- ✓Standard covers 3,000 orders a month
- ✓Nothing to cancel if the trial doesn't convince you
- ✗No product or keyword research
- ✗Dashboard described as slow by several reviewers
- ✗Feature split by plan unclear on the pricing page
The first paid tool most FBA sellers should add, whatever they sell. Enter your cost of goods on day one of the trial, by batch if your supplier price moves, and you'll know within a month which products are paying for the others. Add a research tool next to it, not instead of it.
Helium 10
Helium 10 is the broadest toolbox on this page: product research, keyword research, listing builder, keyword tracking, follow-up emails, inventory management, fraud alerts, reimbursements, plus an ads module on Diamond. For a private label brand that lives on keywords and listings, nothing else here covers as much ground. That's why it ranks second, ahead of tools that do one job well.
The catch is the price, which went up in 2026. Platinum now costs $129 a month, or $99 a month billed yearly (a $360 saving over the year). Sellers on review sites note that it used to be $99 a month, and that you can no longer buy single tools on their own. Platinum is also tighter than its name suggests: Market Tracker is limited to 3 tracked markets and detailed analytics to 20 of your ASINs, with 2 Seller Central accounts, 100 keyword searches a month, 50 competitor listing analyses a month and 40 SKUs in inventory management. Diamond, at $359 a month ($279 billed yearly), lifts that to 5 tracked markets, 1,000 ASINs, 10 accounts and 500 SKUs.
Two fees hide below the plan price. The managed reimbursement service takes a 15% commission on Platinum (10% on Diamond). And Helium 10 Ads, which requires Diamond, charges 2% of the ad spend it manages. One seller on a sellers' forum worked out that the 2% would cost a small US account about $3,000 more a year. Add-ons start at $19 a month if you need more keyword tracking.
The free plan exists, but it only gives limited access to the Chrome extension. On a large review site Helium 10 sits at 2.0 out of 5 across 716 reviews, with complaints about the price rise, a yearly renewal charged without a reminder, refunds refused and data lost after cancelling. That record is why it scores 3.0 on billing and transparency, the second-lowest mark on this page.
- Research, keywords, listings and inventory in one suite
- Managed reimbursements (15% on Platinum, 10% on Diamond)
- Add-ons from $19/mo for extra keyword tracking
- Free plan with limited extension access
- ✓Deepest keyword and listing toolset on this page
- ✓One login for research, listings and inventory
- ✓$99/mo when paid yearly
- ✗Platinum capped at 40 inventory SKUs and 20 analyzed ASINs
- ✗Managed ads need Diamond, plus 2% of spend
- ✗Price rise and renewal complaints in 2026
Worth it once keyword research and listing work drive your sales, not before. Count your SKUs and the products you want to analyze against the Platinum caps first, put the renewal date in your calendar if you pay yearly, and remember that handing your campaigns to Helium 10 Ads takes Diamond plus a 2% fee. If you only need profit numbers, Sellerboard does that for $19.
Jungle Scout
Jungle Scout is the easiest way into product research. Its Starter plan costs $49 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly ($348 a year), which ties it with SmartScout as the cheapest research tool on this page on yearly billing. You get the browser extension, 50 tracked products with 30 days of history, 500 sales estimates a month, 100 searches a month in Opportunity Finder and the Product Database, and 50 keyword searches a month.
Read what Starter leaves out, though. There's no export, no inventory management, no FBA reimbursements, no ad analytics and no automated review requests. Those all arrive with Growth Accelerator at $79 a month ($49 billed yearly), along with the Supplier Database and 150 tracked products. If your plan is to manage stock and claims in Jungle Scout too, Starter is the wrong plan, and Sellerboard at $19 may be the better partner for it.
Jungle Scout's Catalyst plans cover 8 marketplaces: the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Some features stay US-only, and its euro price list shows 1 marketplace on Starter, 3 on Growth Accelerator and 10 on Brand Owner, so check how many your plan includes. Extra seats cost $49 a month on Growth Accelerator and Brand Owner.
There's no free trial. The US pricing page offers a 7-day money-back guarantee instead (its euro price list says 14 days), and sellers call it rigid: refunds are only possible within seven days of the charge. On a yearly plan that means the whole year is charged upfront. Its public score holds at 4.0 out of 5 across 3,940 reviews, but only a handful are recent, and some describe sales estimates that don't match reality.
- Opportunity Finder and Product Database for product research
- 8 marketplaces, including the UK, Germany and Canada
- Supplier Database from Growth Accelerator
- $29/mo on yearly Starter billing
- ✓Gentlest learning curve for product research
- ✓$29/mo on yearly billing
- ✓Detailed plan limits on the pricing page
- ✗No trial, only a 7-day refund window
- ✗Starter has no inventory or reimbursement tools
- ✗Some features only work on Amazon US
The right first purchase if you haven't picked a product yet. Start on monthly Starter, run every search you need in the first seven days, and only switch to yearly once you know you'll keep it. Pair it with Sellerboard after your first shipment lands.
Keepa
Keepa does one thing, and almost every FBA seller keeps it open: it shows the price history, sales rank history and Buy Box history of any Amazon product. Before you send 300 units to a warehouse, a Keepa chart tells you whether that price holds all year or only spikes in December, and whether the rank you see today is normal or a one-week accident.
Keepa doesn't publish a readable pricing page, so take the numbers here as approximate. Sellers who pay describe a subscription of about €29 a month, billed in euros, so your card will convert it. In 2026, the free tier changed: users report that free tracking dropped from several thousand products to 200, and many recent one-star reviews are about exactly that.
Resellers who check dozens of products a week usually outgrow the free tier. Complaints are about money and lag, not about the charts: no refund after a yearly renewal, disputed charges, and data that sometimes lags or looks wrong. Its review profile is small and unsolicited (1.6 out of 5 across 45 reviews), so don't read too much into it. The positive reviews say the same thing in different words: they use Keepa every day.
- Price, sales rank and Buy Box history on any product
- Browser extension right on the product page
- Charts right on Amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it and .es
- Free tier for light use
- ✓The history every buying decision should start with
- ✓Paid plan cheaper than any suite's monthly price here
- ✓Free tier still useful for a short watch list
- ✗Free tracking cut to 200 products in 2026, per users
- ✗No refund after a yearly renewal, per users
- ✗Charts take time to learn
Install the free tier on day one, whatever else you buy. Prune your tracked products before paying, and pay monthly until you're sure you'll check charts every week. A reseller will usually need the paid plan; a private label seller watching a few competitors may not.
SellerAmp SAS
SellerAmp SAS is the tool resellers open on every product they look at. You land on a product, and it shows the profit, the ROI, whether you're allowed to sell it, and how the Buy Box behaves. For someone scanning dozens of products an hour in a store aisle or on a retailer's website, that speed is the whole point.
Pricing is simple. Getting Started costs $19.95 a month, Getting Serious $29.95 and Going Pro $49.95, and paying yearly gives you two months free. Every plan includes the same core features: profit calculator, alerts, charts, Buy Box analysis, the Chrome extension, a web app and a mobile app. You can try any plan for 14 days and cancel at any time.
Its pricing page lists 7 supported marketplaces: the US, the UK, Canada, France, Spain, Germany and Italy. That matters if you source in one country and sell in another.
What holds its score back is a thin public record: only 3 reviews on a large review site, too few to say much about billing or support either way. And it's built for resellers. A private label brand with five products of its own will get little from it.
- Profit, ROI and restriction check in one view
- Same features on every plan
- Chrome extension, web app and mobile app
- Two months free on yearly billing
- ✓Fastest product check for arbitrage
- ✓From $19.95/mo with a 14-day trial
- ✓Works on 7 marketplaces
- ✗Built for resellers, not private label
- ✗Very few public reviews to judge support
- ✗Needs Keepa next to it for deep history
The default scanner for arbitrage and wholesale buyers. Start on Getting Started, since every plan has the same core features, and run it next to Keepa for the longer history. Skip it if you sell your own brand.
SmartScout
SmartScout is built for the wholesale question: which brands are worth emailing for an account, and which of their products would sell. Its data is strongest on Amazon US. The Basic plan includes 5,000 ASIN lookups a month, the browser extension, review requests, a price list scanner (paste a supplier's file, see which items could sell) and a sales estimator.
Basic costs $49 a month, or $29 a month billed yearly. Essentials is $119 ($99 yearly) and Business $299 ($239 yearly), with Enterprise on quote. Every plan comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Coverage of European marketplaces is unclear from what the vendor publishes, so if you sell mainly on Amazon UK or Germany, ask before paying. For a private label seller hunting a first product, Jungle Scout is the simpler pick.
- Built to find brands worth contacting
- Price list scanner for supplier files
- 5,000 ASIN lookups a month on Basic
- Review requests included
- ✓Made for how wholesale sellers actually prospect
- ✓$29/mo when paid yearly
- ✓7-day money-back guarantee
- ✗Strongest on the US market only
- ✗Overlaps with SellerAmp for product checks
- ✗Business tier jumps to $299/mo
A smart buy for wholesale sellers on Amazon US who need a steady list of brands to contact. Use the full 7 days of the guarantee to run your real supplier files through the price list scanner. Outside the US, confirm marketplace coverage first.
InventoryLab
InventoryLab has long been a reference for US resellers who list and ship a high volume of FBA inventory. It costs $69 a month, or $58 a month billed yearly (a $138 saving), with unlimited users, which helps if a family member or a prep assistant works on the account. A Restocking Insights module costs $25 a month on top. The 30-day free trial matches Sellerboard's free month.
The big limit is geography. InventoryLab's help center states that it only supports the Amazon.com US platform. If you sell on Amazon UK, Canada or Europe, it isn't for you.
Its ownership changed too. InventoryLab now belongs to Threecolts and is also sold inside the Seller 365 bundle (Standard at $69 a month, or $65 billed yearly, with a 14-day trial). Users describe the price doubling from $35 to $70 a month, slower support and a drop in quality since the acquisition. The public review count is small, 7 reviews at 2.9 out of 5, so treat it as a warning sign rather than a verdict.
- Unlimited users on one plan
- 30-day free trial
- Restocking Insights add-on at $25/mo
- Also sold in the Threecolts Seller 365 bundle
- ✓One of the two longest trials on this page
- ✓Unlimited users for a prep team
- ✓Familiar to many US resellers
- ✗Amazon.com US only
- ✗Price doubled to about $70/mo, per users
- ✗Quality and support complaints since the acquisition
Still a fit for a US-only reseller with a prep team, thanks to unlimited users and a 30-day trial. Use the full 30 days on real shipments, then compare the yearly $696 with SellerAmp plus Sellerboard before you commit. Anyone selling outside Amazon.com should skip it.
Your seller model, your stack: what it costs
The best tools for Amazon FBA sellers depend less on the brand than on how you sell. A private label seller and an arbitrage reseller don't need the same software, and buying the wrong suite is the most expensive mistake on this page. Here's what each stack costs per month, our math from official prices, before Amazon's own seller fees and ads.
- Starting private label: Jungle Scout Starter yearly ($29) + Sellerboard Standard yearly ($15) + Keepa free = $44 a month, with $348 paid upfront for Jungle Scout. Paying both monthly: $68.
- Growing private label: Helium 10 Platinum yearly ($99) + Sellerboard Standard yearly ($15) = $114 a month. Letting Helium 10 Ads run your campaigns takes Diamond ($279 a month billed yearly) plus 2% of managed spend ($100 a month on $5,000).
- Arbitrage reseller: SellerAmp Getting Started ($19.95) + Keepa paid (about €29) + Sellerboard Standard yearly ($15) = about $35 a month plus €29.
- Wholesale on Amazon US: SmartScout Basic yearly ($29) + SellerAmp ($19.95) + Keepa paid (about €29) = about $49 a month plus €29.
You haven't launched yet

- Write down the trial end date or refund deadline before you enter a card.
- Count your ASINs, SKUs and marketplaces against the cheapest plan's caps.
- Price any percentage fee (managed ads, reimbursements) on your real numbers.
- Check that the tool supports every Amazon marketplace you sell on.
- Enter your cost of goods in your profit tracker on day one.
- Pay monthly first, and switch to yearly only after your first renewal decision.
Seven billing traps and field tips for FBA tools
These come from seller reviews, forum threads and the small print of each pricing page, not from vendor blogs. Each one has a fix, and most fixes cost nothing.
The tips
Use Jungle Scout's 7-day window like a trial
Jungle ScoutJungle Scout has no free trial. What it offers instead is a money-back guarantee of 7 days on the US pricing page, and sellers who missed it describe the policy as rigid. So treat the first week as your trial. Run your product searches, track your shortlist and pull the sales estimates you need before day seven.
Start on the monthly plan ($49) for that first week. If you go yearly from the start, the full $348 is charged upfront, and the same seven days are all you get to change your mind.
- Refund window
- 7 days (US page)
- Do first
- Monthly plan, then yearly
Check Helium 10 Platinum's caps before paying
Helium 10Platinum sounds like the top plan. It isn't. It limits Market Tracker to 3 tracked markets and detailed product analytics to 20 of your ASINs, connects 2 Seller Central accounts, allows 100 keyword searches a month and manages inventory for 40 SKUs. A seller with more than 40 SKUs to manage, or more than 20 products to analyze in detail, will outgrow it fast.
Count before you buy. If your catalog is above those caps, the real price is Diamond at $359 a month ($279 billed yearly), with 1,000 ASINs, 10 accounts and 500 SKUs. At that point, Sellerboard plus Jungle Scout may cover what you need for far less.
- Platinum
- 40 inventory SKUs, 20 analyzed ASINs
- Diamond
- $279/mo billed yearly
Price the 2% on managed ad spend
Helium 10Helium 10 Ads, available on the Diamond plan only, charges 2% of the ad spend it manages, on top of the plan. Sellers say the change arrived with little notice, and one seller on a sellers' forum estimated it would add about $3,000 a year for a small US account.
Do the math on your own budget: $5,000 a month in managed spend is $100 a month extra, or $1,200 a year. Add the jump from Platinum to Diamond ($279 instead of $99 a month billed yearly). If that's more than the hours the tool saves you, keep your campaigns in Amazon's ad console and use Helium 10 for research only.
- Fee
- 2% of managed ad spend (Diamond)
- On $5,000/mo
- $100/mo extra
Enter your cost of goods on trial day one
SellerboardSellerboard's month-long trial asks for no credit card, so there's nothing to cancel if it doesn't convince you. But a profit tracker without your cost of goods only shows revenue minus Amazon fees, and that number flatters every product.
On the first day, enter your landed cost per unit. If your supplier price changed between orders, enter it by batch or by period: Sellerboard supports both. You'll get four weeks of real margin data before the first charge, which is enough to spot the product that's quietly losing money.
- Trial
- 1 month, no card
- Enter
- Cost per unit, by batch
Prune your Keepa list before paying
KeepaIn 2026, users report that Keepa's free tier dropped to 200 tracked products, after years of allowing thousands. Many sellers woke up to a full list and a prompt to pay.
Before you subscribe, delete trackers on products you'll never buy again: dead listings, seasonal items, old competitors. A private label seller watching a dozen competitors fits in 200 easily. A reseller tracking hundreds of deals will need the paid plan, which users put at about €29 a month. Pay monthly first, because users also report no refund after a yearly renewal.
- Free tier
- 200 tracked products, per users
- Paid
- About €29/mo
Check the value Amazon pays for lost stock
ReimbursementsWhen Amazon loses or damages your inventory in its warehouses, it owes you a reimbursement. The value it pays isn't always the one you'd expect. One seller on a European sellers' forum was offered €1.77 per unit for a product that cost €20, with the estimated value field left empty and the values the seller provided refused.
Keep your supplier invoices, check the estimated value on every case before accepting it, and appeal with proof of cost. If you hand claims to a service, know the price: Helium 10's managed reimbursements take 15% on Platinum and 10% on Diamond. Sellerboard also lists reimbursements among its features.
- Keep
- Supplier invoices per batch
- Helium 10 fee
- 15% (Platinum), 10% (Diamond)
Put every yearly renewal in your calendar
All toolsThe most common complaint across these tools isn't about features. It's about money taken at renewal. Sellers describe a Helium 10 yearly renewal charged without a reminder, Jungle Scout yearly plans charged in full upfront, and Keepa refusing refunds after an annual renewal.
The fix takes two minutes. Add a reminder two weeks before each renewal date, and decide then whether you still use the tool every week. Yearly billing is a real saving ($360 a year on Helium 10 Platinum, $240 on Jungle Scout Starter), but only on a tool you'll keep.
- Reminder
- 2 weeks before renewal
- Yearly saving
- $360 on Helium 10 Platinum

Amazon FBA tools · FAQ
What tools do Amazon FBA sellers actually need?
Three, at most, to start: a profit tracker, a price history tool and one research tool that fits your model. In practice that's Sellerboard, Keepa and either Jungle Scout (private label) or SellerAmp SAS (resale). Sellers who've been through the full suites often give the same advice: keep the stack light, and add a suite only when keyword and PPC work fill your week.What is the best Amazon FBA tool for beginners?
Jungle Scout if you haven't picked a product, Sellerboard once your first shipment is live. Jungle Scout Starter costs $29 a month billed yearly and has the gentlest learning curve for research. Sellerboard's month-long trial needs no card, so start it the week your first sales come in and the free month covers real orders. Keepa's free tier covers price history in the meantime.How much should I spend on Amazon seller tools?
A simple rule first: if your tools cost more than a few percent of your monthly profit, cut one. In practice, that means under $50 a month while you launch, and a suite only once it saves you hours every week. Pay monthly for the first cycle, even when yearly billing looks cheaper: you'll know by then which tool you open daily. If your tools cost more than a few percent of your monthly profit, cut one.Do I need Helium 10 to sell on Amazon?
No. Its free plan only opens part of the Chrome extension, and the paid suite earns its $99 to $129 a month only when you run keyword research and listing work on a private label catalog every week. Watch the jump if you also want managed ads: Helium 10 Ads needs Diamond, at $279 a month billed yearly, plus 2% of the spend it manages. Resellers rarely need it at all.Is there a free Amazon FBA tool that's actually useful?
Yes: Keepa's free tier, Amazon's own Revenue Calculator and Helium 10's free plan. Keepa now tracks up to 200 products free, according to users. The Revenue Calculator in Seller Central compares FBA and merchant-fulfilled fees on any product, at no cost. Helium 10's free plan only gives limited access to its Chrome extension, so treat it as a preview.Helium 10 or Jungle Scout: which should I pick?
Jungle Scout to find a first product, Helium 10 to run a catalog. Jungle Scout Starter costs $29 a month yearly against $99 for Helium 10 Platinum, and it's easier to learn. Helium 10 goes further on keywords, listings and inventory (managed ads take Diamond), but Platinum caps inventory management at 40 SKUs. Neither offers a free trial: Jungle Scout gives a 7-day refund window instead.How do I get reimbursed for lost FBA inventory?
Open a case in Seller Central with your proof of cost, and check the value Amazon offers before accepting. Sellers report reimbursements far below cost when the estimated value is missing, so keep supplier invoices for every batch. Before paying a service a commission, check whether your profit tracker already lists reimbursements among its features: Sellerboard does, inside the subscription you already pay.How do I calculate my Amazon FBA fees before I buy stock?
Use Amazon's free Revenue Calculator in Seller Central: enter the product, pick your marketplace, and compare FBA with fulfilling orders yourself, without looking up each fee by hand. Then add what it doesn't know: your landed cost, inbound shipping and ad spend. If the margin doesn't hold on paper, no tool will save it. Once you sell, Sellerboard runs the same math on every real order, refunds and storage included.Do I need a repricer as an FBA seller?
Only if other sellers share your listings. A repricer adjusts your price to win the Buy Box against them; a private label seller alone on their listing already has it. Resellers are the ones who need it. Sellerboard lists a repricer for FBA, FBM-Prime and FBM among its features; check that your plan includes it before paying for a separate tool.Do these tools work on Amazon UK, Canada and Europe?
Most do, but check before paying. Sellerboard covers all Amazon marketplaces, Jungle Scout covers 8 including the UK, Canada and four EU countries, and SellerAmp SAS covers 7. Helium 10 lists supported marketplaces tool by tool in its help center, so check the one you need. InventoryLab supports Amazon.com only, and SmartScout's data is strongest on the US. Keepa's extension works on Amazon.com, .co.uk, .ca, .de, .fr, .it, .es and .mx, but not on the Dutch, Swedish or Polish sites.
