Which one is for you

Pick Jungle Scout if

  • Fits if you're hunting for your first private label product
  • Works for small sellers from $29 a month on yearly billing, one user

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

Pick Zonbase if

  • Fits if you're researching products and keywords before sourcing a new Amazon listing
  • Works for sellers who also want an FBA course alongside the tools

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight on Standard: 10 searches a day in the main research tools
  • Watch out: pricing page figures don't match its FAQ in places, so check the price at checkout
  • Pricey if you want more volume: Legendary is $109 a month and Diamond $299
  • Skip it if you want finished services, since the $1,997 Plus Plan is a done-for-you offer with a waiting list
  • Watch out: the free trial is 7 days, and it appears to ask for a card

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.
