Cheapest first by monthly starting price. MerchantWords is keyword data only, at $35/mo for one country. SellerApp's $0 plan is a forever free plan with limited access; the page also has filters for ASIN count, ad spend and revenue, so other selections may show different paid prices. Its meta description still says plans starting from $199, which does not match the $0, $99 and $149 cards. SellerSprite's $39 monthly Basic plan lists 0 product trackers and 0 keyword trackers; the annual Basic plan is $390/yr and includes them. AMZScout was rechecked on 2026-11-05. The rendered page splits the old bundle. MCP starts at $39/mo. The AI Toolset is $59.99 for one month or $399.99 billed yearly. A 3-month price was not on the page. Jungle Scout was rechecked on 2026-10-27. Catalyst Starter is still $49/mo billed monthly or $29/mo billed annually, and the Brand Owner card now says it includes Competitive Intelligence. See Jungle Scout. Zonbase was added on 2026-11-06. Standard is $49/mo or $399/year. The FAQ states both figures. Nine times $49 is $441, not $399. A form on that page says 40% off, and the FAQ says there is no coupon. See Zonbase.
