Keepa Pro is a single paid browser plan at 29 EUR a month or 290 EUR a year, billed as 12 months for the price of 10. Those figures sit in Keepa's English FAQ pack (_751 / _753) and match the PROMO_PRICE_PRO_MONTH: 29 constant in the 4 September 2026 site bundle. Keepa does not run a free trial or publish coupons. Price charts and Deals work with no account; a free account adds watches and synced settings. The Keepa API is a separate Stripe subscription that refills tokens every minute. Keepa's hosted MCP server at https://keepa.com/mcp needs that API key and spends the same tokens. Trends MCP is not a Keepa stand-in for ASIN price history. It is the public-grid path for Amazon Best Sellers boards and Amazon search-interest series inside Cursor.
How much does Keepa Pro cost in 2026?
Keepa Pro is 29 EUR per month or 290 EUR per year. Checkout is euro-only; a non-euro card is converted by the card issuer. The promotional monthly figure is also hardcoded as PROMO_PRICE_PRO_MONTH: 29 in keepa.js on the cdn/20260904 release (fetched 7 September 2026).
There is one paid browser SKU, not a Basic / Standard ladder. Third-party directories that still print $99 and $199 a month are recycling a 2019 listing. Keepa Premium and Keepa Pro are the same checkout. Yearly billing is the only discount Keepa documents for Pro: 12 months charged as 10. The FAQ that asks whether Keepa offers discounts or free trials answers no on trials, coupons, and promotional codes.
A visitor can read price history charts and browse Deals with no login. Creating a free Keepa account adds price watches, notifications, and settings sync across devices. Pro is the paywall for the seller toolkit: Product Finder, Product Viewer bulk import/export, Top Seller lists, full Deals table rows, sales-rank and offer-count graphs, and updated price data for up to 10,000 tracked products. Pro quota on those data loads refills at 5% per hour, up to 100%. Interactive graphs do not consume that quota. Repeating the same request inside one hour does not consume it either. At 0%, new data requests wait for refill. Keepa's own example for a full daily Product Viewer cycle is 36,000 products.
Cancel Pro from account settings. A canceled subscription keeps running until the period already paid for ends. Keepa GmbH (Kemnath, Germany) takes cards through Stripe and never sees the full card number, per the API plans page and the 23 August 2026 privacy notice.
The Chrome Web Store listing for Keepa (extension id neebplgakaahbhdphmkckjjcegoiijjo) showed 4.7 out of 5 stars and 4,000,000 users on 7 September 2026. The homepage noscript line and the mobile marketing strings both say Keepa tracks over 7 billion Amazon products. Those are catalog claims, not a reason to pay Pro.
Does Keepa Pro include the API?
No. Keepa Pro is the browser product. The Keepa API is a second prepaid subscription, billed monthly through Stripe, canceled from the API dashboard, with no discounts. The 4 September 2026 keepa.js bundle tells Pro users the browser plan already generates 1 token per minute, and that dedicated API plans start at 20 tokens per minute, 20 times that rate, billed separately.
Tokens refill 24/7 whether anything is requested or not. Unused tokens expire after 60 minutes, so the bucket never holds more than rate × 60. Every JSON response includes tokensLeft, refillIn, refillRate, and tokensConsumed. Official token costs on the Plans & Tokens page (fetched 7 September 2026):
| Request | Token cost |
|---|---|
| Product by ASIN | 1 per ASIN; optional +6 per found offer page (max 10 offers) |
| Product search | 10 per result page (up to 10 results) |
| Category lookup | 1 per request |
| Category search | 1 per search |
| Browse deals | 5 per 150 deals |
| Seller information | 1 per requested seller |
| Best sellers list | 50 per list |
| Most rated sellers | 50 per list |
A best-sellers call is a flat 50 tokens when a list exists, even if the list is empty. If Keepa has no list for that category and locale, the response is empty and no tokens are charged. Root category and product-group lists can hold up to 500,000 ASINs; sub-category lists cap at 10,000. Lists are usually updated hourly and may be cached up to one hour. Historical monthly lists go back 36 months. The Brazil locale is not valid on this endpoint. Base URL: https://api.keepa.com/. GET works on every endpoint; Product Finder, Seller Finder, Deals, and Add Tracking also accept POST.
Keepa does not publish euro prices for each API token-rate SKU on the public docs. Those amounts load in the logged-in #!api checkout from live PayedService records. Quote the current API grid on that page rather than a directory. The 60 tokens-per-minute walkthrough on the docs is an example of the bucket math, not a claim that 60/min is the plan a given account is on. At 1 token per minute (the Pro-included drip), 1 × 60 × 24 × 31 = 44,640 tokens in a 31-day month. At 20 tokens per minute, the same formula is 892,800. Product requests are 1 token per ASIN, so those ceilings are also the monthly ASIN-lookup caps if every token is spent on products.
Upgrades are immediate and prorated. Downgrades are allowed once every 28 days; unused time becomes Keepa account credit, not a card refund. Multiple API subscriptions can run at once on one key. Tracking ASINs through the Tracking API reduces the refill rate (0.9 tokens per regular update per locale; 9 tokens per marketplace tracking update per locale). When the refill rate hits 0, new token-using calls stop.
What does Keepa MCP cost to run?
Keepa MCP costs whatever the Keepa API plan costs, plus the tokens each tool call spends. There is no MCP-only SKU. The hosted server is https://keepa.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Auth is Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Official docs (fetched 7 September 2026) say an active Keepa API subscription is required; the browser Pro drip is not enough to treat MCP as included. Tool calls consume the same token table as REST. Every tool description states its token cost, and every response carries the current balance.
Cursor config from Keepa's MCP page uses url plus a Bearer header. It does not set transport: "http". Claude Desktop is documented as npx mcp-remote against https://keepa.com/mcp. Claude.ai custom connectors cannot connect yet: Keepa authenticates with a Bearer key, and that host is OAuth-only. Keepa writes that OAuth support is planned.
"keepa": {
"url": "https://keepa.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
Trends MCP's Cursor object, from docs.md on 7 September 2026, is a different host and a different key:
"trends-mcp": {
"url": "https://api.trendsmcp.ai/mcp",
"transport": "http",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
Keepa MCP can look up products, walk decoded price histories, render charts, search Amazon, run Product Finder queries, browse price drops and Lightning Deals, pull category best sellers, inspect sellers, and manage trackings. That is ASIN-level Amazon commerce data. Trends MCP does not return Keepa price history, Buy Box shares, or offer pages. It returns Amazon search-interest series (source: "amazon") and live Amazon Best Sellers boards (Amazon Best Sellers Top Rated, Amazon Best Sellers by Category) through get_top_trends, with default limit 25 and a max of 200. The Free plan board depth is the top 10.
Public Trends MCP request prices on 7 September 2026, from HTML /pricing plus pricing.md: Free $0 / 100 requests / month; Starter $19 / 1,000; Pro $49 / 5,000; Business $199 / 25,000. Annual billing saves 20%. HTML yearly as billed: Starter $16/mo ($192), Pro $39/mo ($468), Business $159/mo ($1,910). HTML cards also print 35+ data sources; the FAQ on the same page says 40+ sources. Cite the split. Do not flatten those counts. Keyword alerts are Pro 50 and Business 250.
Which Amazon job does Trends MCP actually win?
Trends MCP wins live Amazon Best Sellers boards and Amazon search-interest series for an agent that already speaks MCP. Keepa wins ASIN price history, Buy Box, offer pages, Product Finder, and seller storefronts.
A seller picking a restock price still needs Keepa (or another price-history feed). A content or research agent that only needs "what is climbing in Toys Games this week" can call Trends MCP Amazon Best Sellers by Category with sort: "rank_change" and window: "7d" without buying Keepa tokens. Amazon search volume for a product name is a keyword source on Trends MCP (source: "amazon"), documented on the Amazon search trends page. That series is not Keepa's sales-rank chart.
Keepa Pro is a browser quota with a 5% hourly refill. Trends MCP meters successful 2xx calls. HTML FAQ copy on /pricing says one successful API or MCP call equals one request. docs.md and pricing.md say MCP get_top_trends costs 1 credit per 10 requested rows (max 10 credits per call) and REST get_top_trends is 1 request per call. Cite both. Failed calls are free on Trends MCP.
Seller suites such as Jungle Scout sit in a third bucket: listing, PPC, and supplier workflows. A Keepa shopper comparing those suites should read the Jungle Scout pricing breakdown rather than treat Keepa Pro as a substitute for Helium 10 or SellerApp. Cursor install for Trends MCP is documented on the MCP server for Cursor page (~/.cursor/mcp.json on Mac/Linux).
Keepa MCP is the right Amazon MCP if the prompt is "plot 3 years of Buy Box for this ASIN." Trends MCP is the right Amazon MCP if the prompt is "what is on the Electronics bestseller board, and how has air fryer Amazon search interest moved over 12 months." Paying for both is a real pattern: Keepa for history, Trends MCP for cross-source boards.
FAQ
Does Keepa have a free plan?
Yes. Charts and Deals work with no account. A free Keepa account adds price watches, notifications, and synced settings. Product Finder, Top Seller lists, the full Deals table, sales-rank graphs, and the 10,000-product tracking allowance are Keepa Pro. There is no time-boxed Pro trial.
How much is Keepa Pro per year?
290 EUR, billed once, described by Keepa as 12 months for the price of 10. Month-to-month is 29 EUR. Keepa bills in euros only. A canceled Pro subscription continues until the end of the period already paid.
Is the Keepa API priced in dollars?
No public dollar grid. API plans are prepaid monthly in euros through Stripe, differentiated by tokens generated per minute. Keepa Pro includes a 1 token/min drip. Dedicated API plans start at 20 tokens/min and are billed separately. Open https://keepa.com/#!api while signed in for the live euro SKUs. Do not trust third-party $99 / $199 pages.
Can Cursor call Keepa without an API subscription?
Not according to Keepa's MCP docs. The hosted server at https://keepa.com/mcp requires the Keepa API access key. Browser Pro is a different product. Claude.ai connectors cannot use Keepa MCP yet because that UI is OAuth-only.
Is Trends MCP a Keepa alternative?
Only for Amazon bestseller boards and Amazon search-interest series inside an MCP client. It does not replace Keepa price history, Buy Box, or Product Finder. Keepa does not replace Trends MCP's Google, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, or App Store boards.
