Nova receives orders and units in real time throughout the business day. See problems while you can still fix them today, not tomorrow morning.

Who Nova Analytics is built for
Nova is designed for Amazon sellers who make daily operational decisions and need same-day feedback loops. When you change a price at noon, you should see the margin impact by 1pm. When PPC spend spikes unexpectedly, you catch it within the hour and adjust before it eats your profits.
If you're managing a portfolio of products across multiple brands or categories, delayed visibility means problems compound. An order slowdown on your top SKU goes unnoticed for hours. Nova's real-time sales data gives you the speed to react while issues are still small.
Perfect for
FBA sellers testing pricing and promotion strategies who need to see results within hours, not days. Learn how Nova helps FBA sellers.
Aggregators needing consolidated dashboards with real-time sales across multiple brands with portfolio-level visibility. See Nova's aggregator solutions.
Agencies reporting to clients weekly who need fresher data for same-day decisions. Explore Nova for agencies.
Brand managers reacting to competitive moves same-day instead of waiting for slower refresh cycles.
Where Nova goes further: Custom Breakdowns
HelloProfit shows you a flat product list with profit data. That works for small catalogs. But it doesn't let you group products the way you actually think about your business. Nova's Custom Breakdowns let you create unlimited dimensions and apply them across every dashboard: P&L, Winners & Losers, A/B Testing, Day-to-Day.
Group by supplier to see which vendor gives you the best margins after all Amazon fees. Group by brand manager to compare team performance. Group by product lifecycle to allocate budget smarter. No competitor in this comparison offers this level of portfolio segmentation.

The three core advantages of Nova over HelloProfit
Data Speed: See problems while you can fix them
Here's the problem with delayed data: if a margin drop, fee change, or PPC budget issue starts at 10am Monday and you don't see it until much later, you've lost valuable hours of profitability. Same-day visibility changes the game.
Nova's real-time sales data lets you notice order slowdowns as they happen and investigate during the same trading day.
Real-World Pattern: Same-Day Fee Recovery
Sellers reviewing a margin drop caused by an Amazon fee adjustment can check Nova's hourly finance transactions alongside real-time sales data. Orders and units arrive in real time, but fee changes appear when Amazon reports them.
Nova's day-to-day performance dashboard with real-time sales data alongside profit metrics. Fees and ad spend follow their own reporting schedules.
Fast data access is a key differentiator between high-performing and average-performing e-commerce operations. When you're competing on Amazon with thousands of other sellers, slow data visibility isn't just inconvenient. It's expensive.

P&L Accuracy
Reconciled
SP-API validated accuracy across all fee types
Nova's events tracker lets you log key business actions (pricing changes, PPC adjustments, listing updates) and measure their impact on your metrics over time. See cause and effect clearly.
P&L Accuracy: Numbers you can actually trust
Both tools track profit, but accuracy matters more as you scale. HelloProfit handles standard scenarios well. It calculates the basics correctly for most sellers. But when you hit edge cases, the cracks show.
Nova validates against Amazon's SP-API for complex fee scenarios that trip up standard calculators. This includes AWD fees per product, Subscribe & Save discount attribution (a common HelloProfit pain point), multi-marketplace VAT variations, historical COGS with effective dating, and the inbound placement fee structure (introduced 2025). When tools don't continuously validate against SP-API settlement data, fee changes can go undetected for weeks, leading to understated costs and overstated margins.
Why Fee Accuracy Matters
Amazon updates its fee structures multiple times per year. Inbound placement fees, low-inventory-level fees, and Subscribe & Save discounts all change frequently. Sellers have found significant discrepancies when their analytics tool doesn't continuously validate against SP-API settlement data. Nova reconciles every fee line against settlement data, so your margins always reflect reality.
The difference isn't massive for simple FBA operations. But if you're running Subscribe & Save, dealing with AWD, operating across multiple marketplaces, or managing complex COGS scenarios, accuracy gaps compound quickly. A 2% error on $500K annual revenue is $10K you're not aware you're losing.
User Experience: Portfolio visibility without spreadsheet exports
HelloProfit works fine for small catalogs. If you're selling 10-20 SKUs, you can eyeball the dashboard and understand your business at a glance. But as you grow past 50 SKUs, especially if you're managing multiple brands or product categories, you start living in spreadsheet exports.
Nova is built for portfolio managers from day one. Instant filtering across 500+ SKUs. Saved views for common reports. Contribution margin drill-downs that show you which products drive profitability and which drag it down. Portfolio-scale analytics tools eliminate the need to export, pivot, and recalculate in spreadsheets every time you want a segmented view.
Aggregators managing multiple brands (150+ SKUs total) who previously spent hours weekly exporting profit data to spreadsheets, pivoting by brand, and calculating contribution margins manually can reduce that workload to minutes with Nova's saved views and portfolio filtering. The time saved is redirected to strategy and optimization.

The user experience difference isn't obvious in a 5-minute demo. It becomes clear after week two when you're trying to answer "How did Brand A perform vs Brand B last month?" or "Which product category is most profitable after accounting for PPC?" HelloProfit requires exports and pivot tables. Nova shows you the answer in 30 seconds with custom analytics builders.

Frequently asked questions
Not exactly. HelloProfit is a solid profit tracker for stable, smaller catalogs. Nova is built for sellers who actively optimize pricing, PPC, and product strategy and need feedback on real-time sales data. If you want simple daily snapshots, HelloProfit works. If you need same-day visibility into margin changes, portfolio segmentation, and customizable P&L, Nova is the upgrade path.

Nova supports 23 Amazon marketplaces, so multi-region sellers can consolidate net profit, fees, returns, and product-level PPC into a single view instead of switching Seller Central regions.
Yes. Nova supports both FBA and FBM. You enter shipping and fulfillment costs as part of COGS, and Nova reconciles the rest from SP-API settlement data so the net-profit column reflects what actually hits your bank account.
Orders and units reach Nova within seconds of the sale, with sales estimated until Amazon confirms the exact amounts. Ad spend refreshes every two hours, search term data three times a day, Amazon finance transactions hourly, and the remaining reports daily.
Nova validates every fee line against Amazon's SP-API settlement data. This catches edge cases like Subscribe & Save discount attribution, AWD fees per product, multi-marketplace VAT variations, and the current inbound placement fee structure. You can run a settlement reconciliation test to verify the match yourself.
