Helium 10 vs Sellics

While back in the day it meant something to compare Helium 10 vs Sellics, after Sellics pivoted to just an Amazon Advertising platform, it doesn’t make sense anymore. However, I’d compare both tools. Actually, Sellics was acquired by Perpetua and Perpetua sort of “killed” Sellics and it’s now just offering the Perpetua platform.

PErpetua is an all in one PPC tool for Amazon, Walmart, Instacart and more platforms.

Helium 10 vs Sellics: Product Research

Both Helium 10 and Sellics offer product research tools to help sellers find profitable products to sell on Amazon. Helium 10’s Black Box tool offers advanced filtering options, allowing you to search for products based on various criteria, such as sales volume, price, and review count. Sellics’ Product Detector tool also provides filtering options, but its database is more limited compared to Helium 10’s.

However, as I just said, Product Detector is no more and Sellics was merged with Perpetua.

Helium 10 vs Sellics: Keyword Research

Helium 10’s Cerebro tool provides extensive keyword data, including search volume, competition, and suggested keywords. Sellics’ Keyword Research tool also used to offer useful insights but it also lacked the depth of data provided by Helium 10.

Helium 10 vs Sellics: Listing Optimization

Both tools offer listing optimization features to help you create compelling product listings. Helium 10’s Scribbles tool allows you to optimize your product title, bullet points, and description with relevant keywords. Sellics’ Content & SEO tool (both for Sellers and Vendors) also helped with listing optimization, but it lacked the comprehensive keyword suggestions offered by Helium 10. It was a really simple tool, to be honest.

Competitor Analysis

Helium 10’s Xray tool provides insights into competitor sales data, allowing you to make informed decisions about your product offerings and pricing strategies. Sellics’ Spy tool also offered competitor analysis, enabling you to track competitor sales, inventory, and pricing changes. However, Helium 10’s Xray tool provides a more in-depth view of competitor data.

Inventory Management

Sellics offered an easy-easy-super-easy Inventory Management tool that helped you track your inventory levels and provides restock recommendations. Helium 10 lacks a complete and dedicated inventory management feature for every market, as Inventory Management tool only works for Amazon and Walmart US.

Helium 10 vs Sellics: PPC Management

Both Helium 10 and Sellics offer tools to help you manage and optimize your Amazon PPC campaigns. Helium 10’s Adtomic tool provides detailed analytics, automated bid management, and keyword suggestions for your campaigns. Sellics’ PPC Manager offers similar features, along with an AI-driven automation system that aims to optimize your PPC performance.

Helium 10 vs Perpetua: PPC Management

Perpetua actually KILLS Helium 10 when it comes to Amazon advertising management
