SmartScout wholesale: brand lists, UPC scans and which plan you need

SmartScout for wholesale: which plan you need

SmartScout covers wholesale from Essentials up. Essentials unlocks brand data, so the Brands Database and Brand Sellers (the sellers under a brand) start there. Business adds the Sellers Database, Product Sellers (every seller of one product) and the Seller Map, which shows where sellers are located.

As read on October 29, 2026, Essentials is $119 a month on the Monthly view and $99 a month on the Yearly view, paid as $1,188 for the year at checkout. Business is $299 a month on the Monthly view and $239 a month on the Yearly view, paid as $2,868 for the year.

Basic, at $49 a month on the Monthly view and $29 a month on the Yearly view, has the price list scanner but no brand data. A 7-day money-back guarantee covers Basic, Essentials and Business for new customers, once per customer, and there is no free trial. Extra seats and add-ons are on SmartScout pricing.

SmartScout wholesale features by step

Amazon In Stock Rate is how often Amazon itself has the item, so a low rate marks a brand Amazon rarely sells. SmartScout's pages put the dominant seller line at 50 or 60 percent of a brand's revenue, so check the setting in the tool.

Revenue figures are modeled estimates. How to find brands to wholesale on Amazon FBA uses these filters step by step.

Scanning a supplier price list in SmartScout

SmartScout's UPC Scanner, also called the Price List Scanner, matches the UPCs in a supplier file to Amazon listings and returns revenue estimates, rank, competition and FBA fees for each line.

1. Copy three columns, UPC, Selling Price and Product Cost, into SmartScout's Excel template and import the file.
2. Filter, then sort by Net Profit, Net Margins or ROI, which SmartScout calculates after FBA, storage and Amazon referral fees.

Per the plan grid, scanning is capped at 5,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 200,000 ASINs from Basic to Enterprise; the 5,000 ASINs a month line on the plan cards belongs to keyword research.

SmartScout documents no crawler of retail store websites and says it does not generate product lists, so an online arbitrage seller hunting retail clearance deals needs another tool for that search.

Who should use SellerAmp SAS instead

Pick SellerAmp SAS to check one product at a time: a sourcing tool with a profit calculator and eligibility and IP alerts on every plan. As read on October 29, 2026, Getting Started is $19.95 per month on monthly billing and $199.50 per year on annual billing, with a 14-day free trial.

SellerAmp SAS prices by product lookups, up to 1,000 a month on Getting Started, where SmartScout prices by data level. Monthly against monthly, that is $19.95 per month against $119 a month for Essentials on the Monthly view. Pick SmartScout to choose which brands to approach, and SellerAmp SAS to test whether one product from a supplier list pays (SmartScout vs SellerAmp SAS).

For retail clearance, Tactical Arbitrage, sold inside Threecolts Seller 365 with Standard at $69 a month on Monthly, searches 1,400+ stores by its own count. Keepa's home page calls price history free with no account needed. The best tools for Amazon wholesale compares all four.
