Jungle Scout pricing in 2026

Jungle Scout pricing on 29 August 2026 is a two-product checkout: Catalyst for sellers under $1 million in Amazon revenue, and Cobalt for businesses above that line. The public HTML on junglescout.com/pricing does not print the three Catalyst monthly SKUs. It does print extra seats at $49 per month or $459 per year, Starter and Growth Accelerator at one included user, Brand Owner at three, a 7-day money-back window instead of a free trial, and annual savings up to $360. Helium 10, fetched the same day, prints Platinum at $129 monthly or $99 yearly and Diamond at $359 or $279. Trends MCP is not a seller suite. It is the Amazon best-seller board plus multi-source trend API, from $0 for 100 requests.

Does Jungle Scout publish Catalyst plan dollars?

No. A fetch of junglescout.com/pricing on 29 August 2026 returns the Catalyst versus Cobalt split, a "View Catalyst Pricing" control, and a FAQ. The three named Catalyst plans (Starter, Growth Accelerator, Brand Owner + Competitive Intelligence) appear in that FAQ. Their monthly and annual sticker prices do not appear in the HTML. Third-party plan tables are not reproduced here. Those dollars were not on the official pricing page this run.

What the page does print is concrete. Catalyst is positioned at "$0-$1M in Annual Revenue" with "Save up to $360 on annual plans." Cobalt is positioned at "$1M+ in Annual Corporate Revenue" and is demo-only. The comparison grid lists Catalyst tracking up to 200 ASINs against Cobalt at 20,000, metric availability up to 140 against over 800, platform integrations at 1 against 6, and geographic coverage at 8 Amazon marketplaces against 19. A two-year historical lookback is marked Brand Owner only on the Catalyst column. Jungle Scout also claims 1 million-plus global customers, 11 years of sales-estimate refinement, 600 million-plus products tracked across 24 categories, and "18x GMV" more coverage than any other provider. Those are vendor claims on the pricing page, not third-party audits.

The refund copy is also on that FAQ, not on a Zendesk article (those URLs returned a Cloudflare bot wall this run). Jungle Scout does not offer a free trial. Standard Catalyst plans carry a 7-day money-back guarantee. New-customer regularly priced plans are covered; special promotions are excluded. Cancellation ends at the close of the current billing cycle. Upgrades are prorated. Refund requests go to [email protected].

How many users does each Catalyst plan include?

The same pricing FAQ is the only official seat table retrieved this run. Starter is limited to 1 user. Growth Accelerator includes 1 user, with extra seats at $49 per month or $459 per year. Brand Owner includes 3 users, with the same $49 / $459 add-on. There is no public cap on how many extras Growth Accelerator or Brand Owner can add. Cobalt "charges per user" with no self-serve dollar printed.

That $49 seat line is the one Jungle Scout number a buyer can verify without opening checkout. It is also the number to budget when a second operator needs a login. Extra users, per the FAQ, join by invitation, miss billing controls, and can be revoked from Team Management.

Marketplace coverage sits next to seats on the same page. Catalyst is listed as compatible with the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, with some features limited to the United States market. Partial compatibility is listed for the Netherlands, Turkey, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Brazil. Cobalt is listed at 19 marketplaces. Feature-by-marketplace matrices are linked off the FAQ rather than inlined.

Should a brand buy Catalyst or wait for Cobalt?

Catalyst is the self-serve SKU if Amazon revenue is under $1 million and the job is product research, ASIN-level competitive analysis, launches (reviews, sourcing, listings), and tracking up to 200 ASINs. Cobalt is the sales-led SKU if the job is brand- and category-level benchmarking, Buy Box and 1P versus 3P analysis, a native Amazon Advertising platform tied to market performance, and tracking up to 20,000 ASINs. The pricing page states Jungle Scout will not take every Cobalt demo request. There is a qualification step.

Those ASIN caps are the durable limit, more useful than a guessed monthly price. A catalog that will cross 200 tracked ASINs is already past Catalyst's published ceiling. A solo seller who needs the Chrome extension and keyword research is still in Catalyst territory. Cobalt's 800-plus metrics and 6 platform integrations are the reason the page asks for a demo instead of a credit card.

The API question sits in the same FAQ: Jungle Scout has a public API for "self-serve tools and dynamic data reports." The pricing page does not attach a dollar amount to that API. The next section is the developer contract, which is public.

What does Jungle Scout's public API actually meter?

developer.junglescout.com/api, fetched 29 August 2026, still has no price table. The durable facts are protocol and throttle. The base host is https://developer.junglescout.com. Requests use JSON:API (application/vnd.api+json) for Content-Type. Versioning is the Accept header application/vnd.junglescout.v1+json (version 1 only). Auth is an Authorization header of KEY_NAME:API_KEY plus X-API-Type set to junglescout for the Catalyst-side API or cobalt for Enterprise. Every call needs a marketplace query parameter. Documented country codes map to the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, India, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Japan, and each key is scoped to a subset of those markets.

Throttle: 300 requests per minute or 15 requests per second, per account. Over that, HTTP 429 with code REQUEST_THROTTLED and a retry again at timestamp. Pagination is cursor-based (page[size] and page[cursor]). Default page size is endpoint-specific; the overview does not name one global default. That 300 / 15 cap is the number to size a product-database crawl against. It is not a monthly allotment, and it is not a published price.

Failed-auth and marketplace errors are 403. Invalid ASINs return 422 INVALID_ASIN. Missing rank history for an estimated-sales window returns 422 MISSING_RANK_DATA. None of those codes imply a free-failed-call policy. Trends MCP's pricing FAQ, by contrast, states failed calls are free. Different products, different meters.

What Helium 10 charges on its own pricing page

helium10.com/pricing, fetched 29 August 2026, does print the dollars Jungle Scout's public HTML withholds. Platinum is $129 per month or $99 per month billed yearly (the yearly column also shows "Saves $360"). Diamond is $359 per month or $279 yearly ("Saves $960"). Enterprise starts at $1,499 per month, billed annually. The yearly toggle copy is "save up to 20%." All prices are USD plus tax at checkout.

The same page's feature grid is the reason Helium 10 still wins seller ops. Platinum: 20 ASINs lifetime, 100 keyword searches monthly, 1 multi-user login, 2 connected Seller Central accounts, 3 markets lifetime. Diamond: 1,000 ASINs lifetime, 5 multi-user logins, 10 connected accounts, 5 markets lifetime, Helium 10 Ads at a 2% managed-spend fee, inventory at 500 SKUs versus Platinum's 40. Freedom Ticket is bundled on paid plans and listed at $997 standalone. The page also prints 4.5 million brands, $7 billion-plus monthly Amazon GMV, 860K-plus Chrome extension users, and 24-plus marketplaces.

Helium 10 MCP is on that grid twice. Diamond includes "Helium 10 MCP: Included free (up to 1,000 calls)." An MCP add-on row also reads "Starting at $50/mo." Those remain two lines on the same page, not one flattened policy. The users FAQ still names a "Supercharge Your Brand" plan with up to 25 additional users, while the three plan cards on the same fetch are Platinum, Diamond, and Enterprise. The FAQ and the cards do not agree.

Monthly Helium 10 plans, per the FAQ, cancel at the end of the current period. No long-term commitment is required on monthly billing. That is a cleaner public cancel sentence than Jungle Scout's, which still routes the 7-day refund through email.

A side-by-side of jobs, not invented Jungle Scout SKUs:

Helium 10 wins listing ops, PPC rules, inventory, and refund recovery. Jungle Scout Catalyst wins the seller who wants that company's extension and sales estimates and is willing to open checkout to see the three plan prices. Cobalt wins the $1 million-plus brand that needs 20,000 ASINs. Trends MCP does not win those jobs.

Which Amazon job is Trends MCP built for?

Amazon Best Sellers API and ecommerce product research are the matching landing pages. The job is a ranked live board (and Amazon search growth), not Seller Central automation.

trendsmcp.ai/pricing HTML on 29 August 2026 (yearly toggle) prints Free at $0 with 100 requests/month, top 10 trends, 12 months of history, and 24-hour delayed data; Starter at $16/month ($192 billed annually) with 1,000 requests; Pro at $39/month ($468) with 5,000 requests and 50 keyword alerts; Business at $159/month ($1,910) with 25,000 requests and 250 keyword alerts. The markdown pricing table on the same day lists the monthly checkout as Free $0 / 100, Starter $19 / 1,000, Pro $49 / 5,000, Business $199 / 25,000, with "Annual billing saves 20%." HTML yearly copy also says "2 months free." First-time paid plans: 7-day trial, card at checkout, charged day 8. Failed calls are free. The live counter on that fetch read 9,447,431 API calls served.

Source counts on 29 August 2026 do not collapse to one number. HTML markets 35+ data sources. docs.md lists 15 keyword sources (no python row) and 24 live feed names, including TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category. MCP get_top_trends schema lists 23 feeds and omits that TikTok-by-category board. MCP get_growth still lists python. llms.txt the same day says plus 21 live feeds. Those five counts are not the same number.

Cursor install JSON (docs.md, 29 August 2026) is the durable config:

"trends-mcp": {
  "url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp",
  "transport": "http",
  "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}

That url plus transport: "http" pair is the Cursor shape. Windsurf uses serverUrl and no transport key. Claude.ai Connectors OAuth against the www host, not api.trendsmcp.ai. One get_top_trends call is 1 request per feed and per page. Default limit is 25, max 200. For a category climber board:

{
  "mode": "get_top_trends",
  "type": "Amazon Best Sellers by Category",
  "category": "Toys Games",
  "sort": "rank_change",
  "window": "7d",
  "limit": 10
}

Official Amazon category strings on docs.md include Electronics, Home Kitchen, Toys Games, and 23 others. Keyword-source amazon takes a product name or category and returns search-volume history, which is a different object from Jungle Scout's estimated-units model. A seller who needs Black Box-style revenue estimates still needs Jungle Scout or Helium 10. A researcher who needs the current best-seller rank board inside Cursor pays Trends MCP request packs, not a $49 extra seat.

FAQ

How much does Jungle Scout cost per month?

The public pricing page fetched 29 August 2026 does not print Catalyst's three monthly SKUs. Confirm those in Jungle Scout checkout. What the FAQ does print: extra seats at $49 per month or $459 per year, Starter and Growth Accelerator at 1 included user, Brand Owner at 3. Cobalt is quote-only. Annual Catalyst copy on the same page is "Save up to $360."

Does Jungle Scout offer a free trial?

No. The pricing FAQ states there is no free trial. Standard Catalyst plans have a 7-day money-back guarantee for new customers on regularly priced plans. Email [email protected]. Promotional terms are excluded from that window.

Is Jungle Scout cheaper than Helium 10?

Not from public HTML alone. Helium 10 prints Platinum $129 / $99 yearly and Diamond $359 / $279 yearly. Jungle Scout withholds Catalyst stickers until checkout, then adds $49 per extra seat. A one-user Catalyst plan could undercut Platinum. A three-seat Brand Owner plan plus add-ons may not. Open both checkouts before treating third-party plan tables as current.

Does the Jungle Scout API have a public price?

No dollar table sat on developer.junglescout.com/api this run. The documented cap is 300 requests per minute or 15 per second per account, JSON:API version 1, X-API-Type junglescout or cobalt. Budget the throttle, then ask Jungle Scout for the SKU.

Can Trends MCP replace Jungle Scout for Amazon sellers?

No, if the job is listing copy, PPC rules, inventory, review automation, or estimated units sold. Yes, as a companion, if the job is a live Amazon best-seller board, Amazon search growth, or the same keyword on Google Shopping and TikTok Shop. Trends MCP monthly SKUs start at $0 / 100 requests. Helium 10 remains the closer suite comparison on printed dollars; see Helium 10 pricing.
