What is Jungle Scout?
Jungle Scout is an Amazon intelligence platform that gives sellers and brands sales estimates, product research, keyword data and competitor analysis. Small and growing sellers use the Catalyst toolkit to find products, plan launches and manage listings. Larger brands and agencies use Cobalt, an enterprise platform for category benchmarking, market share, pricing and advertising analysis across many Amazon marketplaces.
Catalyst bundles tools such as Product Database, Opportunity Finder, Keyword Scout, Sales Estimator, Product Tracker and a browser extension that adds data to Amazon pages. Higher tiers add a Supplier Database, Listing Builder, Rank Tracker, Review Automation and inventory tools. Jungle Scout also offers data access for business intelligence teams, an API and a connector that lets approved AI assistants query its Amazon data in plain English.
