SellerScale vs Helium 10: the tool that picks your Amazon product for you
Looking for a Helium 10 alternative that finds your Amazon FBA product without eating your evenings? Before you pick a product research tool, the difference comes down to one sentence: Helium 10 gives you data to analyze yourself, SellerScale gives you products picked for your budget, with the numbers already run. That difference shows up in your first hour with either tool.
Helium 10 is powerful, but you do all the work
Helium 10 is a huge toolbox for Amazon sellers: dozens of features, filters, tables, charts pointing in every direction. On paper you can know everything. In practice you do everything yourself: set the filters, cross-reference the data, throw out the false leads, and work out what a product actually earns once the 15% referral fee, the FBA fulfillment fee, freight and ads are paid. At the end of the search you are still the one picking the product and signing off on its numbers. The tool hands you the raw material, the hard part stays on your desk.
So it takes weeks to get comfortable with the tool and hours every week to run it. On price, the Helium 10 plans that are genuinely useful for product research now run from 129 to 359 dollars a month (99 to 279 dollars on an annual commitment). Plenty of beginners quit with more data than they know what to do with.
SellerScale: Amazon product research done for you
SellerScale starts at the other end. Finding a product that sells is our job, not yours. Every day the engine works through the Amazon market and runs the same checks an experienced seller would run by hand: the average price in the niche, the real Amazon fees, the highest unit cost you can pay, the net margin left once advertising is paid.
You enter your budget. What comes back are named products that fit it, with all the numbers calculated and an investment plan sized to what you can put in. One of the examples shown in the app: a pet food dispenser with a camera, $39.90 selling price, supplier in Ningbo, 100 units minimum, $2.83 a unit, 22 days of production, $890 to put up front and $14.90 kept on each sale. Estimates, but you read them before you spend a dollar instead of after. The supplier comes with the product on every plan: the entry plan gives you its minimum order quantity and all the numbers calculated, plus your Amazon sales page written for one product a month, and the supplier's real purchase price and production time start with the 79 dollar plan. And your product stays yours: the same one is never handed to two sellers in the same niche with the same budget. Plans start at 39 dollars a month.

Helium 10 or SellerScale: which one should you start with?
Whatever your level, the math falls the same way. If you are starting on Amazon FBA, SellerScale skips the mountain of learning and puts a product with its numbers already run in your hands on day one, with no jargon and no software to tame.
