The P&L view captures everything Amazon-related

The P&L view is the big one. It captures everything Amazon-related with the granularity to track down every unexpected expense, giving me a real profit statement I can run the business off of. No more guessing margins or waiting for end-of-month reconciliation.

Just go for it. You won't regret it

The Nova team has built something truly special. The days of clunky Looker Studio dashboards are over. They are communicative and collaborative, and work hard to make the platform as helpful as possible for their users.

Nova is great

Nova keeps us up to date across all of our client accounts and provides a unique set of analytics. The data is live, which lets us make quick decisions faster than with other tools. The events feature is excellent for logging listing changes and running lift tests.

Replaced hours of reporting with one dashboard

I manage multiple brands and Cockpit, P&L and Day-to-Day are now part of my daily workflow. What used to take hours across multiple tools I now see in one place. Antoine and Maxime are clearly building this with real seller challenges in mind, and they listen.

A robust instrument with competitive pricing

Highly recommended

Running an agency that manages a large portfolio of Amazon brands, what we value most is the people. Nova has been a real partner from day one, adapting to how we work. Multi-store management sits in one clean place and the team actually listens to feedback.

What is Helium 10?

Helium 10 is the best-known Amazon seller suite, built around product and keyword research. Black Box, Xray, Cerebro and Magnet are genuinely category-leading, and the Chrome extension is the default research tool for a large share of the market. Helium 10 also covers Walmart and TikTok Shop, and ships its own MCP server for AI tools.

Stay on Helium 10 if

  • Product and keyword research is the core of your day
  • You need Walmart or TikTok Shop coverage in the same tool
  • Listing optimization tooling matters more to you than P&L depth

Add or switch to Nova if

  • You run the P&L daily and need unit-level accuracy, not a summary
  • You want product-level ad spend sitting inside the profit view
  • You operate several Seller Central accounts, brands or clients
  • You want your Amazon data queryable from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

Helium 10 alternative: frequently asked questions

The honest answers to the questions sellers ask before switching.

Not for research. Helium 10's Black Box, Xray, Cerebro and Magnet do a job Nova does not attempt. Nova replaces the profit and reporting half of the stack: unit-level P&L, product-level PPC spend, listing health and portfolio consolidation. Plenty of sellers run both, using Helium 10 to decide what to sell and Nova to run what they already sell.
Helium 10 publishes Platinum at $99 per month billed yearly, or $129 billed monthly, with Diamond and Enterprise tiers above that. Nova starts at $29 per month, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. Checked against Helium 10's public pricing page on 12 August 2026.
Helium 10's Profits tool gives a reliable summary view of sales, fees and margin. Nova is built specifically for that job, so it goes deeper: unit-level classification of every unit that leaves inventory, 40+ Amazon fee types, refunds, removals and liquidations, and product-level ad spend inside the same statement. If profit is a summary for you, Helium 10 is fine. If profit is the decision, Nova is the better tool.
Yes, and it is the most common setup among sellers who find this page. They do not overlap much: research and listing tooling on one side, profit and reporting on the other. Both connect through Amazon OAuth and neither interferes with the other.
No. Nova is Amazon-only by design, across all 21 Amazon marketplaces with currency-normalized consolidated reporting. If you need Walmart or TikTok Shop in the same dashboard, Helium 10 covers those and Nova does not.
No. Nova reports product-level advertising spend inside the P&L so you can see what each ASIN really earns after ads. It does not place bids or manage campaigns. If you want automated bid management, keep a dedicated ads tool alongside Nova.
Yes. Nova ships an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other MCP-capable assistants can query your reconciled Amazon data directly. Helium 10 also offers an MCP server. This is a genuine parity row, not a Nova-only feature.
About five minutes for the Amazon OAuth connection. Historical backfill runs for 2 to 24 hours depending on catalog size, and COGS upload usually takes an hour. No implementation project, no onboarding fee.
Yes. 14 days, no credit card required. Connect your accounts and run Nova alongside whatever you use today.
