Verdict

Which one should you pick?

Helium 10 does more. What matters is how much of it you will use. Jungle Scout sits between the two on price.

Helium 10

Helium 10 fits if

  • You already sell and will use most of the suite: Cerebro, Xray, ads and profits
  • Multi-year keyword history and tracking matter to you
  • Walmart or TikTok Shop are part of your business
  • You research inside Amazon with the Chrome extension
Jungle Scout

Jungle Scout fits if

  • A full Amazon suite for less suits you: Starter is $49 a month, or $29 billed yearly
  • A product database and an extension in one plan is what you need
  • A 7-day money-back guarantee suits you better than a free plan
eMarketInsight

eMarketInsight fits if

  • You are choosing a first product and want to research before paying
  • Keywords, reverse ASIN, reviews and an FBA calculator cover your needs, without ads or inventory tools
  • You sell on Etsy too
  • Starting with no account suits you: 3 previews a day

Each core research job below links the tool that does it here, for amazon.com. Research tools give a free preview without an account.

Helium 10 Cerebro

Reverse ASIN

Paste a product link or ASIN. You see the search terms where it is one of the 3 most clicked products, its click and order share, and where it ranks right now.

Helium 10 Magnet

Keyword research

Search volume, growth, click share and estimated orders for every search term in a niche, and where the niche is heading.

Helium 10 Black Box

Product research

Up to 50 niches sorted by growth, searches or units sold. Then an 8-part report with an AI verdict to go, test or avoid.

Helium 10 Listing Builder and Analyzer

Listings

Grade a title and bullets against Amazon's rules, with an AI rewrite on a free account. Then fill the backend search terms.

Helium 10 Ads

Reviews and ads

What buyers praise and complain about in a niche, and the search terms that waste ad spend. There is no ad management here.

Helium 10 Profits

Profit per unit

Size tier, FBA and referral fees, ads and product cost, for profit, margin and ROI per unit. It works out costs before you sell. It does not read your sales.
