In their own words
ManageByStats
ManageByStats is an integrated suite for managing an Amazon business and analyzing profits. Its dashboard brings together profit, conversion rate, daily traffic, statistics, graphs, customers and transactions, with data refreshed daily. Sellers can automate Amazon review requests and filter customers using feedback linked directly in Seller Central. SellerMail creates buyer and seller messages and customer outreach emails, while custom checklists and notifications cover KPIs, reviews, inventory and listing changes. A free Chrome extension includes Product Finder, Reverse ASIN Lookup, Keyword Distiller and Wordsmith listing optimization tools. ManageByStats connects to Amazon through its API, supports multiple seller accounts and countries, and requests developer access plus limited read-only user permissions for some daily reports and accuracy checks. The free plan includes four seller accounts, 100 tracked keywords, 1,000 customized autoresponder messages per month and a 12-month initial sync. The product is available as a web product and extension; the pricing note lists paid plans from $15/mo.
MerchantWords
MerchantWords provides Amazon keyword research, search-volume estimates, competitive analysis, and related e-commerce optimization tools. Classic Search shows estimated monthly volume, 12-month seasonality, related terms, and keyword depth and strength across Amazon marketplaces. ASIN Plus finds keywords a product ranks for when given its ASIN, while Product Tracker follows Amazon keyword rankings daily. Other tools include Collections, Emerging Trends, Keyword Explorer, Keyword Multiplier, Page 1 Products, and Bulk Search. MerchantWords says its keyword data comes from Amazon’s autocomplete search bar, and describes its volume and keyword figures as estimates without guaranteeing absolute accuracy. Collections can be exported as CSV files for listings and ad campaigns. Data is available through REST and MCP; the MCP page lists Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and compatible agent frameworks. A free API demo provides real data for a fixed set of terms without an account. Paid plans start at $35/mo. The Silver plan includes 500 searches, while Gold includes 1,000; Platinum and Enterprise list unlimited searches.
