Features
A product research command center
ShopScout brings discovery, scoring, economics and monitoring into one place, with the reasoning visible at every step.
Discovery
Find candidates worth your time
Filtered product discovery
Filter by category, opportunity score, momentum, competition, price, estimated margin, lifecycle stage, seller count, creator activity and first-detected date. Switch between a card view and a dense table.
Trending boards
Breakout, Rising, Established and Cooling boards over 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day and 90-day windows, so you can separate a genuine surge from a product that is already past its peak.
Niche discovery
Every niche gets its own score, momentum reading, competition trend, tracked product count, median price and price distribution, plus related niches to branch into.
Analysis
Understand what you are looking at
Deterministic opportunity scoring
A published 0–100 score built from seven weighted components with competition scored inversely. Identical inputs always produce an identical score, and every component is shown with its contribution.
Product lifecycle model
Emerging, Rising, Breakout, Mainstream, Saturated and Cooling stages assigned by documented rules — not by vibes — so you can tell where the window is.
Data confidence labels
Every product shows whether the underlying evidence is high confidence, medium confidence or limited. Estimated figures are never presented as verified sales.
Economics
Model the numbers before you buy
Profit calculator
Selling price, product cost, shipping, marketplace fee, creator commission, advertising, fulfillment and refund allowance produce contribution profit, gross contribution margin, break-even ROAS and volume scenarios.
Product comparison
Put two to four products side by side across score, momentum, competition, price, cost estimate, margin, sellers, creator activity, lifecycle and risk, with the strongest value highlighted in each row.
Saved scenarios
Save a profit scenario against a product, revisit it later and keep it in the research collection it belongs to.
Monitoring
Keep track of what changes
Competitor tracking
Create competitor profiles with store name, public URL, platform, category and notes. Record new listings, price movement, removed listings, promotion changes and category mix over time.
Configurable alerts
Alert rules for score increases, breakout entry, competition jumps, price changes, cooling products, new high-score products and competitor listings — delivered in-app.
Watchlists and collections
Watch products to see score, momentum, price and competition deltas since you added them. Group research into named collections with notes and CSV export.
Data honesty
What ShopScout will not do
- Present estimated activity as verified marketplace sales.
- Guarantee that a product will sell, be profitable or go viral.
- Invent seller counts, creator counts, costs or trend history.
- Bypass authentication, CAPTCHAs or anti-bot protections to collect data.
- Send “live” alerts when the underlying data is demonstration data.
- Count demonstration records in real platform analytics.
