Sellerboard Alternative
The short answer
Sellerboard costs US$19 a month, US$228 a year. The Etsy Profit Tracker is C$85 once, no subscription, and it is built for Etsy fees and maker COGS.
A sellerboard alternative makes sense when you sell on Etsy, not Amazon: Sellerboard is built for Amazon sellers, and its Standard plan costs US$19 a month, US$228 a year. The Kollaz tracker built for Etsy fees and maker costs is C$85 once, with no subscription at all.
Educational information, not financial advice. Prices change, so check both listings before you decide.
What does each option cost over time?
Sellerboard sells live Amazon analytics on a subscription. Billed monthly, the Standard plan is US$19 a month, which is US$228 over a year. Billed once a year, it is US$179 for the year. The Etsy Profit Tracker Spreadsheet is C$85 once. The currencies differ, and this page keeps them in their own currencies on purpose: US dollars for Sellerboard, Canadian dollars for the tracker.
| Option | What you pay | After 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| Sellerboard Standard, monthly billing | US$19 a month | US$228 paid |
| Sellerboard Standard, annual billing | US$179 a year | US$179 paid |
| Etsy Profit Tracker Spreadsheet | C$85 once | C$85 paid, nothing after |
On monthly billing, the subscription passes the one-time price in nominal dollars in month 5, when US$95 has gone out the door. From month 6 on, the subscription costs more every month, forever, while the tracker costs nothing more. If you sell for three years, the gap is not close: US$684 on monthly billing against one C$85 payment.
That math only matters if the tool fits your shop. A subscription buys live data pulled from Amazon. A spreadsheet buys your own numbers, in a file you own, that you can open ten years from now with no account and no monthly bill.
What does the Etsy tracker do instead?
The Etsy Profit Tracker Spreadsheet runs the numbers an Etsy maker actually needs:
- True profit per listing on one dashboard, after every cost is counted.
- Every Etsy fee on each sale: transaction, payment processing, listing and regulatory fees.
- Recipe costing to the gram, plus materials and stock tracking, with a filled example shop included so you can see the system before you load your own.
- A tax summary for US Schedule C and Canada T2125, built from the same sales data.
You enter your sales and your costs, and the sheet does the arithmetic. There is no Amazon connection, no PPC data and no live marketplace feed, and the page will not pretend otherwise. Sellers comparing the fee side in detail can run the full stack in our etsy fee calculator spreadsheet guide, and makers costing physical products can see the recipe side in our etsy cogs tracker spreadsheet for makers guide.
Who is this for, and who should skip it?
This fits an Etsy maker who wants to know which listings actually make money, in a file they own, for one payment. Skip it if you sell on Amazon and need live Amazon data, PPC tools or inventory alerts from the marketplace itself: that is exactly what Sellerboard is for, and a spreadsheet cannot replace it. Skip both tools if you sell so little that a notebook already tells you your profit honestly.
FAQ
Is this a Sellerboard replacement for Amazon sellers? No. Sellerboard fits Amazon sellers who need live Amazon data and PPC tools. This tracker fits Etsy makers who want their own fee and cost numbers in a file they own. Different marketplace, different job.
Why does the price comparison use two currencies? Because the two products bill in two currencies. Sellerboard bills in US dollars and the tracker is priced in Canadian dollars. Converting one into the other at a rate picked today would make the comparison look exact when it is not.
When does the subscription pass the one-time price? On monthly billing, in month 5. Five payments of US$19 come to US$95, which is past the tracker's one-time C$85 in nominal dollars. Annual billing delays that point, but the bill still returns every year.
Do I need Excel to use the tracker? You need a spreadsheet app that opens standard workbook files. The workbook ships with a filled example shop, so you can see every tab working before you enter a single sale of your own.
What if the file does not work for us? Digital downloads are not refunded, and we say that plainly before you buy. The promise that stands instead: if the file will not open or a formula is broken, we fix it or replace it until it works. Tell us what broke and we repair the file itself, not just your copy of the instructions.
How the numbers were run
The subscription totals are simple multiplication of Sellerboard's stated Standard prices: US$19 times 12 months is US$228, and US$19 times 5 months is US$95. The annual figure, US$179, is the plan's stated yearly billing price. No currency conversion is applied anywhere on this page, because the two products bill in different currencies.
