Helium 10 vs Jungle Scout
Based on my experience, here’s comprehensive comparison between Helium 10 vs Jungle Scout, highlighting their features, pricing, and pros and cons, to help you make an informed decision for your business. I’ve used both Helium 10 and Jungle Scout as an Amazon consultant as an Amazon Seller and… here’s what I think of them
Helium 10 Product Research vs Jungle Scout
Helium 10’s Black Box
One of the most popular features of Helium 10 is the Black Box, a product research tool designed to help you identify profitable product ideas. By inputting specific criteria, you can quickly narrow down the vast Amazon marketplace to a manageable list of potential products. The advanced filters in Black Box allow you to search based on various factors, such as estimated revenue, price range, and review count. You can start your research by product, ASIN, niche, competitors…
The Black Box has over 500M products and keywords indexed and growing and works for 11 Amazon Markets
Jungle Scout’s Product Database
Jungle Scout’s Product Database serves a similar purpose to Helium 10’s Black Box, offering a comprehensive database of product ideas for Amazon sellers. With a user-friendly interface, you can easily filter through 400M of products based on your preferred criteria, such as sales rank, category, and price range. Additionally, Jungle Scout’s database is updated regularly, ensuring that you have access to the latest product opportunities.

Helium 10 Keyword Research vs Jungle Scout
Helium 10’s Cerebro
Cerebro, Helium 10’s keyword research tool and reverse ASIN feature, helps you uncover high-traffic keywords for your Amazon listings. By entering an ASIN, Cerebro provides a list of relevant keywords, along with important metrics like search volume, competition level, and estimated sales. This valuable data allows you to optimize your product listings for maximum visibility and conversions.
Cerebro complements with other keyword research tools such as Magnet and Frankestein.

Jungle Scout’s Keyword Scout
Similar to Cerebro, Jungle Scout’s Keyword Scout helps you find profitable keywords for your Amazon listings. By inputting a product or keyword, Keyword Scout generates a list of relevant keywords along with their search volume, competition level, and recommended PPC bid. With this data, you can make informed decisions about which keywords to target, improving your listing’s visibility and ranking.
Jungle Scout Keyword Scout is the only keyword research tool for JS. However, it has no reverse ASIN search.
Helium 10 Listing Optimization Tools vs Jungle Scout
Helium 10’s Scribbles
Helium 10’s Scribbles is a listing optimization tool that helps you create compelling and SEO-friendly product listings. By inputting your chosen keywords, Scribbles generates a list of recommended phrases to include in your title, bullet points, and description. This ensures that your listing is optimized for both Amazon’s algorithm and potential customers.
Helium 10 has 3 listing grading and optimization tools: Scribbles, Listing Analyzer and Listing builder
Jungle Scout’s Listing Builder
Jungle Scout’s Listing Builder offers a similar service to Helium 10’s Scribbles, guiding you through the process of creating optimized Amazon listings. By integrating with Keyword Scout, Listing Builder helps you incorporate relevant and high-traffic keywords into your title, bullet points, and product description. Additionally, Listing Builder provides a Listing Optimization Score, helping you gauge the effectiveness of your listing before publishing.
Jungle Scout has only one grading and optimizer for listings
Competitor Analysis Tools
Helium 10’s Xray
Helium 10’s Xray is a powerful competitor analysis tool that provides insight into the performance of other sellers’ products on Amazon. With Xray, you can gather crucial information such as sales volume, revenue, and review data. This enables you to understand the competitive landscape of your niche, identify potential gaps, and create a well-informed strategy for your Amazon business.
Xray, Market Tracker and Market Tracker 360 are the 3 competitor analysis tools for Helium 10
Jungle Scout’s Competitor Tracker
Jungle Scout’s Competitor Tracker allows you to monitor the performance of your competitors’ products on Amazon. By tracking key metrics such as sales, revenue, and inventory levels, you can stay ahead of the competition and make data-driven decisions for your business.

Conclusion
Both Helium 10 and Jungle Scout offer a plethora of features to help Amazon sellers optimize their businesses but Helium 10 wins on the overall comparison because it has more tools and features for the same price, plus it’s data is more accurate than Jungle Scouts’
While Helium 10 is known for its comprehensive suite of tools and flexible pricing, Jungle Scout boasts a user-friendly interface and excellent customer support.
Ultimately, the choice between these two software options will depend on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. If you ask me? Helium 10, no questions asked. By comparing the features, pricing, and pros and cons of each platform, you can make an informed decision that best supports your Amazon business.
Helium 10s Black Box is like a secret weapon, but Jungle Scouts Product Database feels more user-friendly. Tough call!
Use them both, contrast H10 data against JS data. That’s what we always do!
Great comparison between Helium 10 and Jungle Scout! Having used both, I appreciate Helium 10’s comprehensive suite of tools that cover almost every aspect of selling on Amazon. While Jungle Scout is fantastic for product research and has a great database, Helium 10’s additional features like keyword tracking and listing optimization have made it more integral to my business. It really depends on what aspects of your business you prioritize, but for me, Helium 10 edges out slightly
The truth is that seeing the amount of tools that Helium 10 has included in the last 12 months vs those that Jungle Scout has included (the AI assistant and little else) it is as if Jungle Scout had dropped out of the race to compete against Helium 10 The truth is that right now, JS is light years away from H10
