Overall Satisfaction with Jungle Scout

I've used Jungle Scout for the last 4 years within my ecommerce company mostly for market research. It allows me to better understand product opportunities when I first begin researching a new market or product. Once I've established my product in a new market, Jungle Scout also helps be understand trends and the actions and behaviors of my competitors.
  • Presents actual data on current products in a marketplace
  • Reports changes with competitors based on alerts
  • Provides daily sales snapshots
  • Jungle Scout offers a vast number of features and tools but compared to their primary/original service of product research, the other features aren't as reliable or useful
  • Because of feature clutter, the interface can be difficult to navigate and finding the information you are looking for can be frustrating.
  • Their fee structure is frustrating. The basic plan is crippled by a low limit of products to follow but the next tier is absurdly high for most casual users.
  • It's better helped me understand market trends by tracking my competitors
  • It has helped me avoid certain markets and focus on the right ones

Did implementation of Jungle Scout go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Jungle Scout again?

Yes

Even beginning ecommerce companies will be able to benefit from Jungle Scout's product research platform for a reasonable price. However, if you are a full-time business owner, the only tier that offers the selection of features you likely need is the highest tier at $1000 a year. I feel intermediate tiers of features could be available for less.
