Overview

SmartScout is a web platform and Chrome extension for researching the Amazon market at the level of products, brands, sellers and subcategories, with TikTok Shop research on every plan. It is aimed at private-label and wholesale sellers, brands and agencies. Plans are priced per month in US dollars, from Basic up to a custom Enterprise plan, with lower monthly rates on yearly billing and one user included per plan.

Our take

Pick SmartScout if your question is who sells what across a whole Amazon category, and which brands and sellers hold its share, rather than how to run your own listings and ads from day to day. If you want ad management, inventory and profit reporting in one account, an all-in-one seller suite is the closer fit instead. Seller and subcategory views start on Business, so on Basic it is mainly a product and keyword tool.
