6 eRank Alternatives for Etsy Sellers in 2026 (Honest)

TL;DR: eRank is still the cheapest sensible start for an Etsy shop, so most sellers hunting for eRank alternatives are leaving for one reason. Sales estimates: EverBee. AI and marketing help: Alura. A browse-along extension: Sale Samurai. Deeper keyword data: Marmalead. Unlimited searches cheaply: Koalanda. Selling on Redbubble, TeePublic or Amazon too: Trendlytic, which we built. No such reason? Stay on eRank.

Nobody looks for eRank alternatives on a good day. Something pushed you: the free plan ran out of lookups before lunch, you wanted to know whether a listing actually sells, or you opened a Redbubble shop and your Etsy tool could not see it.

That reason matters more than any ranking. Below are six tools, each matched to the reason it answers best, with prices read from each company's own pricing page on November 9, 2026.

A disclosure first: Trendlytic, the first tool, is mine. It leads the list because this is our blog, not because it wins every reason, and its section lists what it cannot do.

Why sellers look for an eRank alternative

eRank has earned its place: its homepage says over 2.5 million Etsy sellers trust it, the free plan has no time limit, and paid tiers begin at $5.99 a month (erank.com/plans, November 2026). Sellers rarely leave because it is bad. They outgrow one part of it:

• The daily cap. Free means 5 keyword lookups, 5 listing audits and one AI Listing Helper use a day. Fine for a weekend shop, tight the week you plan a new product line.
• Sales, not only searches. eRank's plans are organised around lookups, audits, a Rank Checker and connected shops. Some sellers want a sales figure on the listings they study.
• More AI. One AI listing a day on free, 10 on Basic. Heavy listing writers start shopping around.
• An extension-first workflow. eRank has a Chrome extension, but some sellers prefer a tool designed around one.
• Shelves beyond Etsy. eRank says its keyword data spans over a dozen marketplaces, including Etsy, Amazon and eBay. A print-on-demand seller on Redbubble and TeePublic usually wants something else: the designs selling on each shelf, next to Etsy's.
• A different price shape. Unlimited searches for a flat fee, one plan instead of four, or a single payment.

eRank alternatives compared

I list a marketplace only when the tool's own pages name it. The five Etsy tools named no other marketplace on the pages I read.

1. Trendlytic: best for research beyond Etsy

Marketplaces: Etsy, Amazon US, Redbubble and TeePublic, in one search.

Pricing: from $19.99 a month. You start with a 3-day trial, and it takes a card ($1 card check). No free plan.

What's unique: eRank helps you describe and tune a listing. Trendlytic helps you decide what to make: one search reads Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic and Amazon US together and shows the designs selling right now. A score weighs that demand against how crowded the niche is, and "Rising" marks new designs already selling. Around that search:

• Keyword Research returns the phrases buyers use on each marketplace, each with a competition count.
• Trending Now shows what is moving on each marketplace, refreshed hourly.
• A one-click USPTO lookup on a phrase you choose, so you can read the trademark record before you draw. It is a first screen, not legal advice.
• An AI listing generator that starts from a selling design and writes the listing for your own version, aimed at the same buyer.

See how Trendlytic compares with eRank, our Etsy keyword research page for the keyword side, and the Etsy SEO tool page for the listing it writes.

Strengths:

• Four marketplaces in one search, useful when one design is listed in several places.
• It starts from what is selling and how crowded it is, not only from what gets typed.
• A one-click USPTO lookup on the phrase you plan to print.

Weaknesses:

• No Etsy search-volume numbers. Most of the Etsy tools below show an estimate.
• It does not connect to your Etsy shop: no rank tracking, listing audits or shop stats, all of which eRank has.
• Etsy rows show favourites, not sales. Favourites measure interest, not purchases.
• Newer and smaller than eRank, with no browser extension and no free plan.

Best for: print-on-demand sellers on Etsy plus Redbubble, TeePublic or Amazon, whose problem is what to design next rather than polishing live listings. Start the 3-day trial.

2. Marmalead: best for deeper Etsy keyword reading

Marketplaces: Etsy.

Pricing: $19 a month, $53 a quarter, $190 a year, or $300 once for lifetime access (marmalead.com/pricing, November 2026). The pricing page mentions no free plan or trial.

What's unique: Marmalead suits sellers who want to sit with a keyword longer. Its homepage lists real search volume, real engagement, long-tail and seasonality data, side-by-side keyword comparison, and grades for shops and listings. Marma AI, which Marmalead describes as an AI shop coach, sits on top, with AI Authoring for listing text and AI Insights that read product reviews. The pricing page adds keyword forecasting and price ranges. The lifetime plan is rare in this category: against the $19 monthly plan, it pays for itself around month 16.

Strengths:

• Search volume, engagement and seasonality per keyword, side by side.
• AI that critiques your shop, not only AI that writes.
• A lifetime option that nothing else on this list offers.

Weaknesses:

• No free plan listed, so you pay before seeing your own shop in it.
• Etsy only, and its homepage mentions no browser extension.
• One price for everyone. eRank's $5.99 and $9.99 tiers cost less if all you need is more lookups.

Best for: established Etsy sellers who know what they sell and want the most detailed reading of the words around it. More on our Marmalead alternative page.

3. EverBee: best for sales and revenue estimates

Marketplaces: Etsy.

Pricing: Hobby is free forever. Growth is $24.99 a month or $299 a year; Business is $69 a month or $828 a year (everbee.io/pricing, November 2026).

What's unique: EverBee is for the moment the question shifts from "what do buyers type" to "what do buyers pay for". Its homepage promises "real sales and revenue" on any Etsy product, and the paid plans add conversion rate and growth trends. A free Chrome extension shows those numbers beside listings as you browse. There is also keyword research with search volume, a Tag Analyzer, AI Actions that send a design to Gemini, ChatGPT or Claude for variations, and MCP access for AI assistants. For shop numbers more broadly, I compared Etsy analytics tools in a separate post.

Strengths:

• Sales, revenue and conversion figures on other sellers' listings.
• A free plan and a free extension, so you can test the workflow first.
• Unlimited keyword research on both paid plans.

Weaknesses:

• Sales and revenue start on Growth. Hobby shows views, reviews and favourites, and limits keyword research to 10 keywords.
• Etsy does not publish per-listing sales, so figures for other people's listings are worked out by the tool. Use them to compare, not as exact counts.
• Growth costs more than eRank's Pro tier, and Business at $69 is the highest monthly price here.
• Etsy only.

Best for: sellers choosing between product ideas who want a sales-style number before ordering a sample. See our EverBee alternative page for who it suits less.

4. Alura: best for AI listing help and shop marketing

Marketplaces: Etsy.

Pricing: a free plan, then Basic at $7.99 a month ($95.88 a year), Growth at $14.99 a month ($179.99 a year) and Professional at $29.99 a month ($359.88 a year) (alura.io/pricing, November 2026).

What's unique: Alura suits sellers for whom research is only half the work. It pitches one place to research, run and grow an Etsy shop, and the plans follow through: AI listing optimisation and monthly AI credits on every plan, customer follow-ups that ask for reviews, and, from Growth up, email marketing, Etsy Ads optimisation and listing A/B tests. Product and keyword research and a profit calculator round it out.

Strengths:

• AI listing optimisation from the free plan upward.
• Marketing jobs most keyword tools skip: follow-ups, email, Etsy Ads and A/B tests.
• A low entry price, and a Chrome extension listed on the free plan.

Weaknesses:

• The free plan allows 5 keyword and product searches a day, the same ceiling as eRank's free lookups.
• Email, Etsy Ads and A/B tests begin on Growth, not Basic.
• With this many jobs in one dashboard, a specialist like Marmalead goes further on keywords alone.
• Etsy only.

Best for: shop owners who want writing, marketing and testing in one dashboard. The Alura alternative page sets it against Trendlytic.

5. Sale Samurai: best for an extension-first workflow

Marketplaces: Etsy.

Pricing: Freemium is $0 with 20 keyword searches and 10 listing analyses a month. Monthly is $19.99 and Yearly is $199.90 ($16.65 a month), both with a 3-day free trial (salesamurai.io/pricing, November 2026).

What's unique: Sale Samurai calls itself the all-in-one Etsy SEO platform and free Chrome extension, and the extension is its centre. It runs in Chrome, Edge and Brave and shows keyword data, monthly search volume included, inside Etsy search. Around it sit a Listing Creator, an A/B Listing Tester, a Shop Analyzer for your own revenue and best-sellers, and a Competition Tracker that follows rival shops' listings, prices and estimated sales.

Strengths:

• An extension built as the main way in, across three browsers.
• Search volume inside Etsy's own results.
• A Competition Tracker with estimated sales for rival shops.

Weaknesses:

• 20 free searches a month is far tighter than eRank's 5 a day.
• At $19.99 a month it costs about twice eRank's Pro tier.
• eRank already has an extension, so if you like that one, this is a sideways move.
• Etsy only, on the pages I read.

Best for: sellers who research by scrolling Etsy and want the data on the page, not in another tab. Already a user? Read my Sale Samurai alternative comparison.

6. Koalanda: best for unlimited searches on a small budget

Marketplaces: Etsy.

Pricing: a free plan with limited searches, then Monthly at $11.99, Quarterly at $9.99 a month ($29.97 every 3 months) and Yearly at $5.99 a month ($71.88 a year) (koalanda.pro/pricing, November 2026).

What's unique: Koalanda is the most direct answer to eRank's daily cap: every paid plan lists unlimited searches and all features. Its keyword tool folds search volume, click-through rate and engagement into one Search Score. It tracks sales too: Koalanda says its shop sales history is accurate for every Etsy shop over the past year, and calls its listing sales history "89% accurate on average". Competitor analysis shows any shop's top products and keywords, and a Listing Editor changes titles, tags and descriptions from inside the app.

Strengths:

• Unlimited searches from $5.99 a month billed yearly.
• One Search Score blending volume, click-through and engagement.
• Shop and listing sales history, plus the top products of competitor shops.

Weaknesses:

• The pricing page says only "all features included", so the detail arrives after you sign up.
• By its own FAQ, the free version gives limited access to most features.
• No browser extension on its homepage, and the headline price needs a year paid upfront.
• Etsy only.

Best for: budget-minded Etsy sellers who keep hitting eRank's limits and want to stop counting searches.

Who should stay on eRank

Plenty of sellers should not switch. Stay if:

• You run one Etsy shop and 5 lookups a day cover your listing work.
• You mostly tune live listings. eRank's audits, Rank Checker and shop stats do that job, and Trendlytic does none of it.
• You only need more lookups. Basic at $5.99 gives 100 a day and Pro at $9.99 gives 200 (erank.com/plans, November 2026). Koalanda's yearly plan matches Basic and Alura Basic at $7.99 sits between the two; the rest cost more.
• You like eRank's extension, which by eRank's own page also works on Printify, Shopify and Amazon.

Switching costs time, so leave for a real reason, not a fresher dashboard. For the wider category, see my list of the best Etsy SEO tools.

How to choose

Start from your reason, then test the matching tool on a decision you face this week.

Three habits help. Test on a product you are about to list, not a demo keyword. Give one paid tool a full month before adding a second. And whatever you pick, check what is actually selling in a niche and how crowded it is before you design. Keyword figures measure interest; listings that sell measure money. By hand, across four marketplaces, that takes hours; it is the part Trendlytic automates.

On a zero budget, eRank's free plan pairs well with EverBee Hobby, Alura Free, Sale Samurai Freemium or Koalanda Free. Our free Etsy keyword tool adds 10 keywords a day without a login, using Etsy's official data: competing listings, typical price, favourites at the top and related keywords.

FAQ

What is the best eRank alternative?

It depends on why you are leaving: EverBee for sales estimates, Alura for AI and marketing, Marmalead for keyword depth, Sale Samurai for an extension-first workflow, Koalanda for unlimited searches on a budget, and Trendlytic, which we built, for research across Etsy, Amazon US, Redbubble and TeePublic.

Is there a free eRank alternative?

Yes. EverBee, Alura and Koalanda have free plans, and Sale Samurai has a free tier with 20 keyword searches a month (each tool's pricing page, November 2026). Each is capped in its own way. Our free Etsy keyword tool needs no login and checks 10 keywords a day. Trendlytic is not free: its 3-day trial takes a card.

Who are eRank's competitors?

The Etsy tools covering the most similar ground are Marmalead, EverBee, Alura, Sale Samurai and Koalanda. Each overlaps with eRank on keyword research and then leans its own way. Trendlytic overlaps less, since it serves print-on-demand sellers working across several marketplaces.

Is eRank still worth it in 2026?

For a single Etsy shop, yes. The free plan is useful on its own, and $5.99 to $9.99 a month buys 100 to 200 lookups a day. It fits less well if you want sales estimates, heavy AI use or research outside Etsy.

Which eRank alternative shows Etsy sales?

EverBee shows sales and revenue on its paid plans, Koalanda offers shop and listing sales history, and Sale Samurai's Competition Tracker follows rivals' estimated sales. Etsy does not publish per-listing sales, so read these as estimates. Trendlytic shows favourites on Etsy rows, not sales.

Can I use eRank alongside another tool?

Yes. Keep free eRank for audits and rank checks on your own shop, and pay for one tool that covers the reason you went looking. Two paid keyword tools is usually one too many.

Conclusion

eRank remains the right first tool for most Etsy sellers, and for one shop it may be all you need. The alternatives earn their price when you have a specific reason to leave.

If your reason is that Etsy is no longer your only shelf, that is the case Trendlytic was built for. It is $19.99/month for 100 searches, which return up to 20,000 keywords with their competition counts, plus the 1,000 top designs in Best Design Instant, re-ranked every hour. The trial runs 3 days and asks for a card ($1 card check). Try it on the niche you are working on now.

Which reason sent you looking for an eRank alternative: the daily cap, the missing sales numbers, or a second marketplace?
