Jungle Scout Pricing 2026: Starter, Growth and Brand Owner

Jungle Scout costs $29 to $129 a month on annual billing in 2026, and up to $149 paid month to month. Starter is $348 a year, Growth Accelerator $588 a year and Brand Owner + CI $1,548 a year; Cobalt, the enterprise product for brands over $1 million in Amazon revenue, is quoted after a demo. There is no free trial, only a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Every figure on this page was read on 19 October 2026 on Jungle Scout's Catalyst plans page and its main pricing page. Our read: the annual discount is real on the two lower plans, but it pays off later than most sellers assume, and the cheapest route to three logins is not the plan most people expect.

Toolradar data: of the 117 sales intelligence tools that Toolradar, the software directory we run, compares Jungle Scout with, 41% offer a free plan, and Jungle Scout is not one of them, as of October 2026. The record is Jungle Scout on Toolradar.

What does each Jungle Scout plan include?

All three self-serve plans sit under the Catalyst brand, which Jungle Scout aims at sellers under $1 million in annual Amazon revenue. The plans differ mostly in limits, not in the research tools themselves: all three get the browser extension, Product Database, Opportunity Finder and Keyword Scout, with tighter caps lower down.

The step from Starter to Growth Accelerator buys the seller-operations side: Rank Tracker, Listing Builder, Inventory Manager, review automation, advertising analytics, FBA reimbursements, data export and the supplier database. Starter has none of those, which makes it a research subscription rather than a tool for running a live store.

Brand Owner + CI adds Competitive Intelligence (benchmarking, market analysis, listing and review analysis), delayed review requests, and priority onboarding and support. The "+ CI" in its name is the reason for the jump in price: you pay $80 a month more than Growth Accelerator on annual billing, mostly for market-share views across 5 tracked segments.

When is monthly billing cheaper than annual?

Monthly billing wins whenever you will use Jungle Scout for 7 months or fewer on Starter or Growth Accelerator, and for 10 months or fewer on Brand Owner. Jungle Scout advertises savings of up to $360 a year on annual plans, but that saving assumes you keep paying for all 12 months.

Our arithmetic from the list prices, comparing months paid at the monthly rate with the printed annual total:

This matters most for a seller still validating a first product. Research is front-loaded: you spend two or three months in Product Database and Keyword Scout, pick a product, then wait on sourcing and shipping. A seller who expects to cancel after a launch window should pay monthly, because canceling an annual plan leaves the rest of the year paid and unused.

Brand Owner's annual discount is the weakest of the three. The plan saves $240 a year, the same dollar figure as Starter on a plan that costs more than four times as much, so the commitment only pays off in the 11th month.

What does Jungle Scout cost for a team?

Seats change the bill more than the plan does. Starter is locked to one user, Growth Accelerator includes one, and Brand Owner + CI includes 3 in Jungle Scout's plan table. Extra logins on the two upper plans are billed per seat, at the same monthly rate as Starter or $459 a year on annual billing, so on monthly billing each added person costs as much as a second Starter subscription.

One discrepancy to clear before you budget: the FAQ further down the Catalyst plans page says Brand Owner includes 10 users, while the comparison table and the FAQ on the main pricing page both say 3. Ask Jungle Scout which figure applies to your account before buying for a team of four or more.

Three team bills, from list prices:

• A two-person team on Growth Accelerator pays $128 a month on monthly billing ($79 plus one extra seat), or $1,047 a year on annual billing (the plan plus one annual seat).
• A three-person team on Growth Accelerator pays $177 a month, or $1,506 a year. Brand Owner + CI, which includes those three seats, costs $149 a month on monthly billing.
• A five-person team on Brand Owner + CI pays $247 a month (the plan plus two extra seats), or $2,466 a year on annual billing, if the 3-seat figure is the one that applies.

The second line is the useful one. For three users, Brand Owner is $28 a month cheaper than Growth Accelerator on monthly billing and only $42 a year dearer on annual billing ($1,506 against the Brand Owner annual price), while adding 2,000 tracked products and Competitive Intelligence. A three-person team should rarely sit on Growth Accelerator.

What extra costs sit outside the plan price?

• Segments beyond the first 5. Brand Owner + CI includes 5 Competitive Intelligence segments. More cost $99 a month per 5 segments, or $950 a year per 5 on annual billing, which takes an annual Brand Owner account with 10 segments to $2,498 a year.
• API requests. Growth Accelerator and Brand Owner include a trial of 100 Jungle Scout API requests. Requests beyond that are sold separately, and the plans page does not list their price.
• Marketplaces. Catalyst is fully compatible with 8 Amazon marketplaces (US, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) and some features are limited to the US. Sellers in Japan, Australia or the UAE get partial support at the same price.
• Cobalt. Above $1 million in Amazon revenue, Cobalt is priced per user after a demo, with a qualification step, so there is no list price to plan around.

Ad spend, Amazon's own fees and inventory costs are outside any Jungle Scout plan. Our Amazon seller fees breakdown covers the referral and FBA side of the budget.

Is there a free trial or a refund?

Jungle Scout has no free trial and no free plan. New customers on regularly priced Catalyst plans get a 7-day money-back guarantee instead, requested by email, and special promotions are excluded from it.

Plans carry no contract beyond the current billing cycle: canceling stops the next charge and the subscription runs to the end of the term already paid. Upgrades take effect at any time with the difference prorated, so starting on Starter monthly and moving up once a product is chosen costs nothing extra.

How does Jungle Scout pricing compare with Helium 10?

Jungle Scout is the cheaper entry point; Helium 10 starts higher and covers more of the ads side. The table uses Helium 10's pricing page, read the same day, which sells two self-serve plans, Platinum and Diamond, plus an Enterprise plan billed annually.

On monthly billing the gap holds: Platinum is $129 a month, $80 more than Starter, and Diamond is $359 against $79 for Growth Accelerator. The tiers do not line up feature for feature. Helium 10's Diamond includes its Ads module and AI agent, and its FAQ says Diamond customers pay a 2% management fee on PPC spend run through Helium 10 Ads, a cost that grows with your ad budget. Helium 10's FAQ also says Platinum can add 1 more user and Diamond up to 5, with further users sold as an add-on whose price the pricing page does not list.

For a seller who needs research and listing tools without PPC automation, Growth Accelerator on annual billing does most of what Platinum does for about half of Platinum's annual rate. Our Helium 10 vs Jungle Scout comparison covers the feature split, Helium 10 pricing breaks down its plans and fees, and the Helium 10 review covers the product.

Which Jungle Scout plan should you buy?

Starter on monthly billing fits a seller still testing whether Amazon is worth it, at the monthly Starter rate with nothing to cancel later. Move to annual only once you know you will use it past the seventh month.

Growth Accelerator is the plan for a single seller with a product live, because Rank Tracker, review automation and inventory tools only start there. Brand Owner + CI is for a team of three or more, or a brand that needs market-share data on its categories; below that, its Competitive Intelligence is a cost you will not use.
