There’s nothing mythical about Amz Tracker’s Unicorn Smasher . This free to download product research tool features real-time comprehensive data and accurate sales estimates.

Although these unpaid options are really helpful for beginners and those just dabbling in Amazon selling, more experienced sellers may be looking for something a little more comprehensive to help elevate their business. Although there is a charge to use the following, it’s worth the investment to have a reliable and effective product research tool.

3. AMZScout
AMZ Scout takes over from where the freebies lay off. Known for its sales estimate accuracy, AMZ Scout is considered to be one of the most reliable tools on the market for Amazon sellers and a great Jungle Scout alternative.
Users can try AMZ Scout before committing to a purchase, and the company has since consolidated its packages into a single Seller’s Bundle. Pricing is around $59.99 per month on a monthly plan, dropping to roughly $26.66 per month when paid annually, with a lifetime option also available. Every plan includes the PRO extension along with product databases, keyword trackers and competitor analysis.

4. Amachete
Amachete was created to help both beginners and experienced sellers to achieve success. Available as a convenient Chrome extension, Amachete offers competition analytics, profit estimators and rank and inventory trackers.
This YouTube video gives a handy overview of what Amachete can do for Amazon sellers. One very useful feature offered by Amachete is the Hijack Monitor – the site claims to monitor your listings constantly so that, once a hijacker is detected, you will be contacted straight away and the hijacker will immediately be shut down before they are able to start gaining sales which are rightfully yours.

Amachete offers a generous 14 day free trial and, packages start at $39 for the straight-forward product tracker option. Many users cite Amachete as more reliable than Jungle Scout and praise the ease of use, ease of switching plans and proactive customer service.
5. CashCowPro
Useful but fairly basic, Cash Cow Pro is a reasonably priced tool with a number of useful features. Cited (by themselves admittedly) as the number 1 Amazon selling tool, Cash Cow Pro features an advanced top 20 Million Best Sellers and includes a free Chrome extension download.
Although, frustratingly, Cash Cow Pro doesn’t give the option of filtering lists of products (despite its assertion that it has all the features you need to grow your business), most of the important filters are available.
There is the option to search either by keyword or by the number of sellers which can come in really handy but, unfortunately, users are not able to delete products from the lists which doesn’t make for efficient house-keeping.
Cash Cow Pro pricing runs from $49.97 per month or $997 per year. Find out more about Cash Cow Pro in this video .
6. AMZShark
When navigating the murky waters of Amazon selling, AMZ Shark is a great tool to keep close at hand.
AMZShark has changed considerably since its early days as a $299-per-month all-in-one suite. It has since refocused as a free Amazon review intelligence service, letting you run keyword searches to surface market-wide patterns in buyer language and product searches to pull fresh review data for a specific ASIN list, catalog or competitor set.
This informative video gives you some background on the tool. If you mainly need to mine reviews and buyer sentiment while researching a niche, the current free version is well worth a look, though it no longer aims to be a complete product-research suite on its own.
As an Amazon seller, nothing is more important than product and it’s worth investing in decent tools for your trade. Although the free tools listed here can be useful (particularly for those just dipping a toe in the water), most sellers will eventually migrate to one of the more powerful paid options for the extended features and increased reliability.
Once you’ve shortlisted a niche, you’ll want to study how the top listings present themselves. A free Chrome extension like ASINCrate lets you batch-download every image and video from a competitor’s product page into a ZIP, which makes side-by-side visual research a lot faster. For more tool round-ups and step-by-step playbooks across the whole research-to-launch process, AMZBase is a handy bookmark.
