Which one is for you
Pick Alura if
- Fits if you want research, listing tests and marketing for your Etsy shop in one place

Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you sell anywhere but Etsy, as it's built for Etsy only
- Tight if you run several shops, since only Professional connects more than one
- Pricey if you pay monthly, as Growth is $29.99 that way against $14.99 on yearly billing
- Watch out: Free and Basic search a sample of 1 million products, with no history, filters or export
- Watch out: there's no trial, only a 7-day money-back guarantee, and new email senders start at 50 a day

- Works for sellers choosing tags and keywords for listings at $7.99 a month on yearly billing
Look elsewhere if

- Tight if you're staying free: 5 searches a day, 2 shop searches and no exports
- Watch out: competitor and keyword tracking start on Pro at $15.99 a month on yearly billing, and paying monthly costs more, as yearly billing is said to save up to 50%
- Watch out: the 3-day Pro trial turns into a paid plan, and refunds cover only a first order asked for within 24 hours
- Not for you if you switch between devices, as an account can be signed in on only one at a time

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
