Terapeak vs. Tracxn

Terapeak makes sense for people looking to sell a lot of items or resellers. It does not make sense for people selling one-off items or individuals looking to simply spring clean. It is great for determining pricing, what to start auctions at, and figuring out a shipping/returns strategy (whether or not to offer free shipping, have the buyer pay shipping, and if you should have returns allowed.) I would not recommend it if you just want to move the item out of your house or if you do not care what price an item sells for.

Well suited: - Good for scouting targets for clients, based on their industry preferences, maturity level, and investor profile preference - Helped in buy-side due diligence. Less appropriate - Lacking in terms of readily available insights, with sector reports published in-house being extremely shallow and hence not much of value addition.

• Gives accurate comparable sold listings to determine pricing.
• Aggregates sales information well, so I do not need to scroll through pages of listings.
• Helps with determining shipping/whether to turn on free shipping or not.
• Helps with sourcing and deciding whether to pay up for certain items.

• User centric

• I wish I could use Terapeak outside of eBay. Why can't I use it with other platforms like Mercari, Poshmark, etc.?
• I don't like that I have to pay for this feature. Other selling platforms provide their sold information free of charge.
• It feels antiquated. I need to click through many menus and tabs to price items. I wish it would automatically move me through the pages, instead of making me fill out the information, then hit "next" or "enter."

• Sector reports could be better e.g. competitors like CB Insights do a better job at it.
• Pricing is a bit steep, when compared to peers like Dealroom.
• Credibility of the data is a question mark (CB Insights has way more traction with investors).

Terapeak can't be beaten for selling on eBay, because it is part and parcel with eBay. For comparable listings on other sites, I prefer Sellhound and Jungle Scout. I find that Webgility and Price2Spy are more helpful for SEO and getting to the top of Google's search results. I feel that I get more eyes on my products using other services when I am not specifically selling through eBay. But on eBay, Terapeak is the only service I will use.

This beats all of the other programs. I have used all of them and Tracxn makes using the software so much easier. Using it daily I found out that it has an easy learning curve and a user-friendly interface. Data is more organized in this program as well.

• We have saved time by using Terapeak for pricing. We did not price our items up too much but made them competitive with the market.
• We made more money using Terapeak than we would have without it because we did not under-price items. Terapeak gave accurate comparable sold listings.
• One negative impact was simply the cost. It was about $20/month and was set up to auto-renew. We forgot to cancel our membership and accidentally paid for a service we weren't using.

Incentivized

• Positive: Reduced time to source information.
• Positive: Helped in sharper insights, leading to better outcomes on scouting engagements.
• Negative: Pricing is on the higher side.
