Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 14 of the 16 other Amazon seller tools we grade
Carbon6 is a group of separately sold tools for Amazon sellers rather than one app. Its line-up covers FBA reimbursement recovery (Seller Investigators), a profit and KPI dashboard (ManageByStats), inventory forecasting (SoStocked), listing alerts (AMZAlert), wholesale sourcing (ScanUnlimited), PPC software (PPC Entourage) and managed ad and DSP services, each with its own price.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Carbon6, taken from its own pages and our grades.
The catch is that every tool has its own price, and there's no bundle tying them together.
- 1
Best for a pick-and-mix of Amazon back-office tools
The free ManageByStats plan is a useful place to start.
- 2
Paid plans start at $0.95 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $0.95 per ASIN / month for AMZAlert listing alerts.
- 3
There is a free plan
ManageByStats has a free plan with 4 seller accounts, profit and KPI dashboards, 100 tracked keywords and 12 months of initial sync. ScanUnlimited's free plan allows one price-list upload a month.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
FBA reimbursement recovery
Seller Investigators audits an account within 48 hours, then files and manages reimbursement cases with Amazon for a 25% commission on what is recovered.
- 6
Profit and KPI dashboard
ManageByStats pulls Seller Central data into profit, KPI and financial breakdowns, with checklists, alerts, review requests and keyword tracking.
- 7
Inventory forecasting
SoStocked forecasts demand from past sales, seasonality and spikes, sends reorder alerts, tracks purchase orders and accounts for IPI restock limits.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 14 of 16
That is against the other Amazon seller tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Carbon6 you would be making data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for a pick-and-mix of Amazon back-office tools
Carbon6 isn't one app, it's a family of Amazon seller tools: reimbursement recovery, a profit dashboard, inventory forecasting, listing alerts, wholesale sourcing and PPC. The free ManageByStats plan is a useful place to start. The catch is that every tool has its own price, and there's no bundle tying them together.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | A small seller can stay on ManageByStats Free for $0. The first paid step, ManageByStats Pro, is $59.97 a month, inside the normal range here but well above sellerboard's $15. And Seller Investigators keeps 25% of each reimbursement, where Getida keeps 20%. |
| Free plan and trial | B | ManageByStats Free covers 4 seller accounts, profit and KPI dashboards, unlimited users and reports, review automation and 100 tracked keywords. One seller could run on that. Seller Investigators' audit is free too, though it takes its cut once money comes back. |
| Features | B | Between them, its tools handle reimbursements, profit and KPIs, inventory forecasting, listing and Buy Box alerts, wholesale price-list scanning and PPC. That's more of the job than most here, but as separate products with separate prices, not one app. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. ManageByStats and the other tools need developer access to your Seller Central account, and with several products to choose from, there's some working out which ones you actually need. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a browser extension, with no phone or desktop app. It connects to Seller Central, Amazon Ads, Walmart Marketplace, Keepa, Slack and Jira. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Carbon6 is for
- Great if you want a free profit dashboard that handles several seller accounts
- Handy when you'd rather pay a cut of recovered money than a monthly fee for reimbursements
- Good for wholesale sellers scanning big supplier price lists against Amazon
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want one app and one bill, since every tool here is sold on its own
- Pricey if you're after reimbursements alone, as Seller Investigators keeps 25% where Getida keeps 20%
- Tight if you want inventory forecasting on a small budget, with SoStocked at $474 for 3 months
Good to know
Good for
- Amazon sellers who want reimbursements, inventory and profit tools from one company
- FBA sellers who would rather pay a cut of recovered money than a subscription
- Agencies that resell or white-label reimbursement and ad services
Worth knowing
- Each tool is priced separately, with no plan that bundles them; Seller Investigators keeps 25% of every reimbursement it recovers.
- PPC Entourage costs 2.9% of ad spend across connected accounts; PixelMe starts at $500 a month plus a one-time $500 onboarding fee.
- DSP Prime, ChargeGuard and D8aDriven publish no prices, and SellerAssist is $750 per Seller Central account with the term not stated.
- ManageByStats and other tools need developer access and limited user permissions on your Amazon seller account.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Carbon6 you would be making data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 14 of the 16 other Amazon seller tools we grade. It costs $11.40 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- It plugs into other products, Amazon Seller Central, Amazon Ads and Walmart Marketplace among them.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Carbon6’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
