Jungle Scout Reviews

“Truly impressed

Pros

I got a reply to my email very quickly and it was an actual person, not an automated message which is good. Everything was pretty easy and my issue was already fixed by the following day.

Cons

To be honest I have not had any serious issues so far. The only thing that caught me off guard was the total charge as I expected to pay a bit over $500 but the final amount was over $600. I am assuming taxes were added in and while it is probably mentioned somewhere, I just wish that info was more visible and not hidden in the fine print.

“I am a dedicated and happy customer

Pros

The platform is really simple to use. As someone new to this I found the video guides especially useful and easy to understand.

Cons

Some of the products shown were not actually available or they were hard to locate. And I had to spend extra time digging around to find where they were listed.

“Improved my Amazon business

Pros

Jungle Scout helps me dig into product research and spot great opportunities to sell. With all the data it provides I can track how my Amazon business is growing without stress. So subscribing to it has definitely been worth it.

Cons

Since we are based in Brazil, the language barrier has been our biggest struggle both with Jungle Scout and Amazon. We have been using ChatGPT to help us translate and understand things. That said Jungle Scout has been working well for us and meeting our needs so far.

“Good but a lot of improvements are needed

Pros

Overall it is pretty simple to use and anytime I have needed support, their team has been really helpful.

Cons

There is a lot of content and data available which can feel like a lot to take in at the beginning. But honestly that is also one of the best things about the tool. My only problem is that it is a bit pricier than I'd usually go for.

“Perfect for selling on Amazon

Pros

I have tested a bunch of Amazon seller tools and Jungle Scout stands out above the rest. What I like most are the filters and features that help me pinpoint niches and winning products.

Cons

It is definitely on the pricey side but I still think it is worth the investment. Though there are a few restrictions with the entry level plan.

“Essential for anyone selling on Amazon

Pros

Jungle Scout offers quite detailed insights that make it easier to make smart, data based choices. Also the sales estimates, market analysis and product tracking features are pretty accurate and save a lot of time. Even their video tutorials and product training sessions around 30 to 40 minutes long are also very well done and easy to follow.

Cons

Some tools like the supplier database do not offer much depending on what kind of products you are researching. Also because there are so many features so I feel like it might feel a bit overwhelming to new users at first.

“Good but could be better

Pros

Keyword search and review reminders are great but I feel like iJS needs more features, such as review reminders to better support future sales.

Cons

One thing I have noticed is that the supplier database does not have a single supplier from JS listed on Alibaba.

“Proven quite helpful for us

Pros

I use the market insights feature the most because it provides estimated revenue and units sold data for millions of products on Amazon. It is very helpful for analyzing market share and identifying new market entrants in the past 24 months. Creating segments with selected products and brands is simple and the data usually generates within 15-30 minutes. I can export the data to Excel which is useful for creating custom visualizations in other tools.

Cons

Well I prefer using the export data feature because the UI is slow and not very user friendly especially when analyzing a brands products in detail. Sometimes the data accuracy is questionable due to how the algorithm groups products together. Also it is difficult to create a high-level segment since title keywords and category filters only go so far. Having 36 months of data would be helpful for analyzing pre-COVID trends.

“Ideal for building target segments

Pros

The function for building segments and categories for Amazon brands is exactly what I need.

Cons

I wish it supported international compatibility. Also when using keywords to filter products, it would be useful to narrow down the criteria earlier. And often irrelevant products are included in the results.

“Fantastic but slow and glitchy

Pros

Segment manager and keyword scout are the most useful tools for me. These are much more accurate than anything else I have tried such as Helium10 tools or MerchantWords.

Cons

There are a lot of bugs I noticed especially in the segment manager. Segments take a long time to load and product variations that are clearly visible on Amazon are often not listed together in the segment manager.

“Good at pulling valuable category data and competitor insights

Pros

Jungle Scout was easy to set up and train the team on. We have been able to provide clients with more insights than ever before helping them understand the overall Amazon opportunity for brands and how they compare.

Cons

We often struggle with reducing the number of ASINs. It would be great if there were an easier way to search by Amazon category specifically.

“The best for yearly plans

Pros

This tool is fantastic for market research especially when pitching to both new and existing clients. The segment builder tool helps us demonstrate how our clients products are performing in their industry and it aids in planning future budgets. The software provides us with the insights we need to make informed recommendations to brands regarding new product launches and budgets.

Cons

Jungle Scout software is great but like any other software it can be glitchy at times. When creating a segment and working on the editing and filtering part it sometimes takes a few attempts for the filters to apply correctly. Also it would be helpful to sort by subcategories when we are sorting through irrelevant ASINs that appear in the segment list.

“This tool changes everything for good

Pros

The market insights tool is my most used feature. It helps our team see how our clients compare to competitors and whether there is room for brand growth or areas that need improvement. From a broad overview of market size and revenue to detailed ASIN trends and keyword bids, this software has been a game changer for growing our department. Plus the wealth of data available with just a few clicks is invaluable and has greatly enhanced our teams ability to conduct market research, audits, optimization and manage daily tasks.

Cons

When building segments I would like to see improvements in the filters particularly the ability to filter by subcategories. Right now sometimes a subcategory does not fit into the segment I am trying to build especially when working with broader terms and markets. Being able to filter subcategories in bulk would be a huge help. Also having a more organized keyword list instead of tabs or having to search through it would be beneficial. Other than that I have no other features I dislike.

“amazing features but data challenges are present

Pros

I love the softwares capabilities. It is incredibly useful for identifying opportunities on Amazon and better assisting our consulting clients by understanding the market landscape. Plus Cobalt offers a lot of features that are perfect for this.

Cons

Well I have come across issues with data and building segments. Often it is clear that some of the data is inaccurate or things break when downloading data. And sometimes when I update a segment the changes don't take effect until I create an entirely new segment.

“Decent option

Pros

The ease of use and the wide range of data captured are something I find great.

Cons

I feel like the accuracy of the underlying data could still use some improvement at times.

“Needs improvements

Pros

Well the insights are useful and building segments along with user friendly visuals is pretty simple too.

Cons

The UI is quite laggy and only certain features are available on the UI. There are some data quality issues such as the number of reviews fluctuating which should typically show an upward trend.

“Highly valuable

Pros

The ability to track our competitors and their product sales is really helpful.

Cons

One thing I have noticed is that there was no seller information provided for third party sellers.

“Easy to customize

Pros

I find it easy to create custom segments and having access to two years of weekly or monthly historical data for segments, product titles and other ASIN-level details is simply amazing.

Cons

It is not possible to save segment definitions without keeping the segment live ie if I delete the segment I lose the configuration. Plus the Segment Info tab in the Excel download does not provide enough details to recreate a segment.

“Essential for anyone working in the Amazon space

Pros

The most valuable feature as per me is market sizing/data.

Cons

I'd like to be able to categorize different market segments more easily.

“Reliable but a few issues to resolve

Pros

To me the best feature is the product insights and ASIN tracker. For our needs this tool offers significant value for competitor research that we can provide to clients or to help us understand changes that might affect our products or sales.

Cons

We are seeing inconsistencies between what we see in Amazon analytics and the data provided in market insights and segment manager especially regarding the split in revenue between 1P and 3P sellers.
