Adspert – PPC Optimization

Adspert is an Ad optimization software tool for Amazon. 

One look at their website reveals how the company went through multiple phases that started from creating automated forecasting systems for stock traders to offering Amazon PPC optimization services for Amazon sellers. Campaign optimization tools are available for both 1P (Vendor Accounts) and 3P (Seller Accounts) and encompass sponsored product, video, and display advertisement.

Adspert claims to be a “hardcore analytics company” which is evident from its strong dependence on artificial intelligence and machine learning to fine-tune PPC campaigns. With functionality across 13 Amazon marketplaces, here are a few ways Adspert aims to help sellers maximize profits:

• Automated Bidding: Backed by 20 years of bid management experience, Adspert’s algorithms get to work taking into account sellers’ budget, Cost of goods sold (COGS), and estimated profits.
• Improved Keyword Management: Adspert extracts high-performing keywords from Automatic campaigns, which can then be targeted via Manual campaigns for maximum effect.
• Predictive Analytics: Getting the desired outcome from Ad campaigns has to do a lot with trial-and-error, which—needless to say—requires a budget. Adspert’s predictive analytics feature enables sellers to visualize different scenarios and ultimately make informed decisions.

These three constitute the main benefits or reasons why sellers should invest in the software. So, how much does a subscription cost?

Pricing

Adspert offers three different pricing plans: Lite (€99/mo.), Standard (€399/mo.), and Enterprise (subject to client’s requirements). Even the basic package seems pricey and outside the affordable range of most sellers. That’s because each plan incorporates Ad optimization features for Google, Bing, Amazon, and Yandex. There is no stand-alone package for Amazon.

Verdict

At first glance, Adspert’s technical and in-depth features make it seem like the be-all-end-all of Amazon toolkits. Unfortunately, there is more to selling on Amazon than just creating and executing well-planned PPC campaigns. Not to mention the €99/mo. fee for even the basic package. 

That’s not to say the features provided aren’t worth the price tag; most sellers need software to optimize PPC campaigns on Amazon and not popular search engines. They would rather subscribe to an affordable monthly plan centered on Amazon selling.

SellerChamp – SKU Management and Repricing

SellerChamp is amongst the few functional repricing software available for Australian Amazon sellers. The interface adopts a minimalistic approach and boasts features revolving around SKU and inventory management. SellerChamp’s main selling point is the ability to upload millions of items at once on both Amazon and eBay reduces overall costs.

Once product listings have been created, SellerChamp automates the repricing process based on statistical data and implements these changes in real-time. The following are a couple of reasons why SellerChamp ranks as a popular repricer:

• Easy Account Management: Selling on both Amazon and eBay? Got multiple accounts on Amazon? That’s not a problem for those with a SellerChamp subscription. Easily manage and switch between accounts without having to memorize and save multiple passwords.
  

• Discover Restricted Items: A common problem sellers with multiple SKUs face is deteriorating account health and suspensions stemming from copyright complaints. When you’re uploading products in the tens of thousands, it’s near impossible to determine which product will trigger copyright infringements. SellerChamp warns users beforehand and ensures your Amazon and eBay accounts remain healthy and operational.
• Scan and Print FBA Labels: SellerChamp lets users print the product shipment and box number for fast packing. It also alerts sellers when a box crosses the stated weight limit.

SellerChamp does a decent job at automating prices and SKU management, but how much money are sellers expected to dish out?

Pricing

SellerChamp offers 4 flexible seller plans each with a starting limit of 500 SKUs. As the number of SKUs increases, so does the price for each plan.

• Starter - $23/month: For $23 a month (paid yearly), 1 user can operate in 1 marketplace with benefits that include unlimited FBA shipments and orders, Shipstation integration, free onboarding and setup, HTML eBay templates, and chat and email support. 
• Builder - $31/month: 1 user can operate in 2 marketplaces with all the benefits included in the Starter package with the addition of auto repricing and API access.
• Business - $49/month: 5 users can operate in 5 marketplaces. The additional feature is custom feeds.
• Enterprise - $169/month: The most expensive plan SellerChamp has to offer. Includes everything the Business plan has with the addition of product customizations, order fulfillment, and 24/7 dedicated phone, email, and chat support.

So, do flexible pricing plans coupled with attractive repricing features make SelleChamp worth the price tag?

Verdict

If you’re looking for a cost-effective and reliable repricer, SellerChamp has got you covered. The main point of criticism this repricer draws is the same as Adspert—both tools are too one-dimensional.

 In most cases, the fee for the Builder and Business enterprise will fetch you a subscription to a holistic seller toolkit capable of performing well and above what SellerChamp has to offer.

MerchantWords – Product Research Tool

MerchantWords is a keyword research tool that’s been around for 9 years. Unlike other tool providers, it hasn’t incorporated additional features into its software making it somewhat of a one-trick pony.

As of mid-2020, MerchantWords has collected over 2 billion keywords, analyzed more than a billion products. and is functional across 11 different Amazon marketplaces

To the uninitiated, the following are a few outstanding benefits of using MerchantWords:

• Accurate Search Results: When you’re using software that’s spent around a decade amassing keywords on Amazon and has hundreds of billions of data points to work with, you can bet the results are pretty accurate.

• Access to Digital Shelf Diagnostic Reports: A cool feature sellers get to access is the Digital Shelf report which shows your ASINs shortcomings when compared with the competition. It also reveals keywords that you may have failed to include in your product listings or target via PPC campaigns.
• Multi-Marketplace Functionality: Many established Amazon SaaS providers are yet to enter emerging markets leaving local sellers underequipped when it comes to market research. Thankfully, MerchantWords is functional in smaller Amazon marketplaces like India and Australia.

Let’s look at the pricing plans.

Pricing

MerchantWords offers the choice of 3 subscription plans aptly named Silver, Gold, and Platinum priced at $29/month, $79/month, and $149/month, respectively. Here’s what each has to offer:

• Silver: Allows a single user to run keyword research for one country (not region). Usage is limited to 500 monthly searches, 25 Market Insight searches, 5 Digital Shelf reports, and 10 keyword collections. This plan is best suited for new sellers.
• Gold: Allows regional search (e.g. NA or EU) for a single user. The monthly search cap increases to 500, Digital Shelf to 50, Market Insights to 100, and keyword collections to 100 as well. Additional features include access to Keyword Multiplier (complementary and related keywords) and Emerging Trends (new and trending search terms). 
• Platinum: MerchantWords’ crème de la crème—their Platinum plan. Features global functionality, increases the user limit to 3, and offers unlimited monthly searches. Usage limits for all features receive a bump as well. 

With the features and pricing out of the way, let's go through the verdict!

Verdict

Is a MerchantWords subscription worth it? Yes, but only if your only concern is product research because other than that, there’s not much the tool has to offer. But what MerchantWords does, it does well, and for that, it deserves a spot on our list.

The Ultimate Egrow Alternative – ZonGuru! 

Now, before you think we’re tooting our own horn, hear us out.

Egrow is a great tool. And so are Adspert, SellerChamp, and Merchant Words. ZonGuru is another valuable addition to this list.

You can do everything with ZonGuru that you can with Egrow—and, sometimes, a tad bit more!😉

For example, you can find backend keywords of your competitors that help drive traffic to their listing and use those keywords to supercharge your product page. Talk about Italian Job done well! This functionality isn’t available with Egrow. 

Likewise, you can keep track of all your Amazon orders and order statuses, alongside customer contact info. Filter the orders that need to be refunded. Reach out to buyers and provide them a wholesome shopping experience.  

Here is a quick comparison chart to further expand on the differences between Egrow and ZonGuru, and why the latter is a capable alternative:

Of course, there are a lot of overlaps too.

Product Research Tools

Both Egrow and ZonGuru offer dedicated in-depth product research tools. Egrow names these Database Research and Live Amazon Scanner. Our versions include Niche Finder and Niche Rater (a standalone Chrome extension). 

‍

All tools are highly customizable and can be tailored to match your search requirements. In the case you want to opt for the easy option and avoid the customization, you can use Niche Finder’s Easy Mode to find your ideal product niche.

‍

In addition, ZonGuru also offers a solution to differentiate your product by offering insights into what customers like or dislike about the existing listings in your niche.

Keyword Research Tools

This is another area where Egrow and ZonGuru overlap. And they both bring their own strengths to the table. 

With Egrow, you get access to data in over fourteen marketplaces. These include Australia, India, Singapore, Brazil, UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, USA, UK, Spain, Italy, France, Canada, and Germany. In contrast, ZonGuru works with Amazon USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and India. Not much difference, but Egrow clearly offers superior coverage. 

‍

That said, ZonGuru has one distinct advantage over its fellow competitor. 

Egrow gets its search volume data from Google, which can make the numbers misleading for Amazon sellers. ZonGuru, on the other hand, is an official Amazon partner. It gets its data directly from Amazon’s database, which makes it more accurate for finding profitable keywords.

‍

Reverse ASIN Research

Both Egrow and ZonGuru can help you reverse engineer your competitors and extract their important keywords. You can then use this information to optimize your listing and increase your sales.

There is one problem, though. 

Egrow allows you to input only one ASIN at a time. So, if you want to research multiple competitors, you must review them separately in different tabs. This can be super time consuming.

‍

However, if you’re using ZonGuru, you don’t have to worry about any such issues. The tool allows you to evaluate up to 25 competitors at once. 

‍

In short, ZonGuru is a more than capable alternative to Egrow, and has some awesome additional features. We also routinely pump out webinars, podcasts, informative blogs and articles--like this amazing Australian seller guide, and a ton of other resources to keep you at the top of your selling game.

Ready to seize the opportunity? Head over to our Niche Finder page to find your next million-dollar product on Amazon. You can even test-run the tool for 7 days, and once you are 100% satisfied, you can join the ZonGuru community 😊. Best of luck and see you on the other side!
