We continue with our tool comparisons and, this time, we focus on those we use to perform Amazon product researches. Advanced software that allows you to discover what is the next item you should add to your listing with certain guarantees of success. So let's analyze the Best Amazon Product Research tools based on different criterias. The most important one: product database and filters.
Table of Contents
Obviously, Amazon is not going to tell you this natively (just a few data bits if you have access to Brand Analytics reports), for that you need other solutions that are able to track the different marketplaces and, based on criteria such as price, sales volume, level of competition, BSR, trends, out of stocks or the fees associated with its marketing, offer us a list of interesting alternatives.
It is true that we usually refer to these tools as product research tools, but with a sufficiently broad vision, what we can obtain are complete niches that we can fill with different ASINs related to each other thematically or by similar search intentions. In this way we can draw a more solid strategy in the medium and long term.
As usual: enough talk, let's break down the 7 best Amazon product research tools, shall we?
Helium 10
One of the most outstanding all-in-ones when it comes to Amazon tools is Helium 10, and it deservedly deserves it.
It is especially complete when compared to other competitors. It has practically a sub-tool for every function and, of course, also for product research.
Helium 10 Black Box has one of the best and most intuitive product search engines. We can search using keywords, competitors via ASIN, niches through its categories… simple to use but very powerful.
Like Jungle Scout, Helium 10 has its own browser extension, in this case it is called Xray. As you can guess what it does is to dissect Amazon in real time by pulling out all the relevant information to evaluate whether or not to invest in a product (inventory levels, competitors for the Buy Box, ranking of sellers and even a profit calculator). This data is often pulled from Helium 10's own scrap bots and from Keepa.
By using Black Box, you can perform product searches by:
- Products
- Keywords
- Competitors
- Niche
- Product Targeting (using ASINs)
As you can see on the screenshot below, you have LOTS of filters and sorting options.
You can also save filters, export data, create lists, pin products for later…

Jungle Scout
If we are honest, the first position is really disputed between Jungle Scout and Helium 10, so much so that they could be perfectly interchangeable because both are a real marvel for those who are looking for products to sell. Learn more about one tool vs the other on our post “Helium 10 vs Jungle Scout“.
Jungle Scout presents a really deep analysis of the products with the most important variables:
- price
- level of demand
- calculation of fees
- ROI percentage
- …and so on up to 14 KPIs to make your decision
It also has a Chrome extension that allows you to perform the research directly while browsing Amazon in a fully integrated way and in real time.
One of the things I love about JS is that it has their own niche scores, filtering presets and suggestions, so it's easier for you to identify a winning niche.

Sellerise
Sellerise is an all in one tool for Amazon account management and includes some juicy product research features which, to be honest, are more focused on keyword research to find products than product-research oriented. However, it's extensive database and filters make Sellerise a nice alternative if you look for a cheaper monthly plan.

CONS

Seller App
In third place on the podium we find Seller App. It has many interesting features in addition to product search, but it is in this that we can say that it stands out the most.
Like some of the other products reviewed in this comparison, it uses a type of reverse ASIN search. It searches using ASIN codes and generates a report that we can interact with by filtering according to multiple criteria. Interesting is also the function of automatically recommending products. Thanks to this we can find opportunities that we would have overlooked.

- Marketplaces covered: 11
- Pricing starts at: $39/mo

AMZ Scout
You may be surprised to see AMZScout so far down the list when, and we all agree on this, it is one of the major alternatives to Jungle Scout and Helium 10. It's really just a matter of personal preference.
We find the interface of the other tools a bit more comfortable, but that doesn't mean it has a worse quality. In fact, being in the top 5 of the best tools for product research is already something more than remarkable.
The product explorer is less user-friendly, but you can find all the detailed information in columns. If you want to remember that the Chrome extension is also available.

- Marketplaces covered: 8
