SellerApp
Best for: Sellers who want research and ads tools without a required credit card
Verified price: The pricing page shows three plan cards. Freemium is $0 and says no credit card is required. Its feature list includes product research and overview, product intelligence, advertising overview, campaign manager, listing quality, PPC insights and ads automation. The FAQ calls this a forever free plan with limited access to primary features. Pro is shown at $99 per month. The card heading says it starts with $99 per month and names insights, keyword tracking, listing quality and email support on top of the basic features. Smart is shown at $149 per month, with $250 struck through and an asterisk. The note says discounted pricing is for the first 3 months. The page does not state the price after those 3 months in a separate sentence. The same page has filters for ASIN count, monthly ad spend and monthly revenue; the prices above are the ones rendered on the page, and other filter combinations were not opened. The FAQ says annual billing saves 50% versus monthly and does not list the annual dollar amounts. Agencies start at $300 plus 0.5% to 2.5% of Amazon ad spend. The page's meta description still says plans starting from $199, which does not match the $0, $99 and $149 cards.
