Pick Jungle Scout if

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try before paying, as there's no free plan or trial, only a 7-day money-back guarantee
• Not for you if you want software to run your ads or track profit, since there's ad analytics but no automation
• Tight if you're a team, with one user on Starter and extra seats at $49 a month
• Watch out: the plan table lists 3 seats on Brand Owner while the FAQ says 10, so check before buying
• Tight if you sell in Japan, India or Australia, which get only partial support; Starter allows 50 keyword searches a month
