Which one is for you
Pick Sellytics if
- Fits if you're a developer who wants raw Amazon market data over a REST API
- Works for a data team that already has a pipeline to plug a feed into
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a finished dashboard, because the Seller, Vendor and Agency Suites say coming soon
- Not for you if you need a price before you talk to anyone, as none is published
- Watch out: the footer reads 2017-2022 and the newest blog post is from March 2020
- Too light for non-technical sellers, since the product that exists is an API
Pick SmartScout if
- Fits if you do wholesale or online arbitrage and want brands to source from
- Works for agencies sizing up categories by brand and seller for clients
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want seller data, as that starts on Business at $239 a month
- Skip it if you want to try first, as there's no free plan or trial
- Tight if you need more than one user, since each extra one is $49
- Watch out: AI audits and rewrites are capped at 1 ASIN a month on Basic, with extras at $3 to $4 each
- Not for you if you need historical data, Ad Spy or full MCP access without an Enterprise demo
How we grade them
| 1.4GPASellyticsWeak | 1.8GPASmartScoutWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published; the site says to contact the company. With nothing to compare, it sits in the middle. | CBasic is $29 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly), in the cheapest quarter here, but it's product-level data. The brand data needs Essentials at $99, and seller data with Buy Box history needs Business at $239. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial is on record. A beta waiting list is mentioned, with no terms. | FNothing free: no free plan and no trial. Each plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee instead, which isn't the same thing. |
| Features | CThe API covers product details, competitor prices, rankings, reviews and history. The suite products it promises say coming soon. | CProduct, keyword, brand, seller and subcategory data, rank tracking, a wholesale price-list scanner, review automation and AI listing tools. Research is most of it, and seller and historical data sit on Business and Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | DNo store rating on record. It's an asynchronous REST API, so you need to write code to use it. | CNo rating on record. Looking up a product is simple enough, but there's a lot of data at several levels to learn your way round. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb and a REST API. No apps or integrations are listed. | BWeb and a Chrome research extension, with no phone or desktop app. It covers Amazon and TikTok Shop, and has an API and an MCP server, though full MCP access is Enterprise only. |
| Best for | pulling Amazon market data through an API | finding wholesale brands and sellers |

More comparisons
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.
