Comparison between legacy analytics (slow, cluttered) and modern analytics (fast, focused) platforms for Amazon sellers

SellerApp offers a comprehensive suite of Amazon seller tools: keyword research, listing optimization, PPC management, repricing, and analytics. It's designed as an all-in-one solution for sellers who want multiple capabilities in one platform.

Nova takes a fundamentally different approach. By focusing 100% on profit analytics, we've built the most advanced Amazon analytics platform available. This exclusive focus allows us to invest every engineering hour into analytical capabilities that all-in-one platforms simply cannot match. Specialized software tools consistently outperform all-in-one platforms in their core functions when engineering resources are focused on a single domain.

With 62% of Amazon sales from third-party sellers, having the strongest possible analytics position isn't just an advantage. It's how you compete. Our singular focus on profit analytics means you get depth, accuracy, and customization that platforms splitting their attention across multiple features can't deliver.

TL;DR - Key Takeaways

  • Nova focuses 100% on profit analytics — customizable P&L, custom breakdowns, fees, returns, refunds, reimbursements
  • Custom Breakdowns group your catalog by supplier, brand manager, lifecycle, or any dimension and apply across every dashboard
  • Reconciled against Amazon SP-API settlement data, not estimated fee tables
  • From $29/month with a 14-day free trial, no credit card. Supports 21 Amazon marketplaces
  • Zero overlap with your keyword, repricing, or PPC tools — Nova is the analytics layer on top

Who Nova Analytics is built for

Nova is for sellers who have moved past the "one tool for everything" phase. You probably already have keyword tools you like (Helium 10, Jungle Scout). You've chosen your repricing software. You've got your PPC management workflow figured out.

What you don't have is clear visibility into whether all those tools and tactics are actually making you money. That's where Nova comes in.

Perfect for:

  • FBA sellers Managing 20+ SKUs who need portfolio-level profit visibility
  • Aggregators Analyzing multiple brands without switching between tools
  • Agencies Proving ROI to clients with custom financial reports
  • Brand managers who already have keyword/repricing tools and need best-in-class analytics

Why Nova's specialized positioning creates the strongest analytics platform

Unmatched depth through exclusive focus

When you focus exclusively on one thing, you don't just do it better. You build a defensible market position that competitors splitting their resources can't replicate. Nova dedicates 100% of our engineering, product development, and innovation to profit analytics. Every feature we build, every improvement we make, every edge case we solve strengthens our position in analytics.

All-in-one platforms must divide their development resources across keyword research, repricing engines, PPC automation, and analytics. This means their analytics capabilities evolve at a fraction of the pace of specialized platforms. Nova's positioning ensures we can build features that would take all-in-one platforms years to develop, if they could build them at all.

Our Competitive Advantage

By positioning ourselves as the analytics specialist, we can invest in capabilities that platforms with broader focus simply cannot justify: customizable P&L layouts with 50+ KPIs, product-level TACoS tracking across portfolios, contribution margin analysis, multi-dimensional filtering, and reconciliation against Amazon SP-API settlement data.

This isn't just about doing analytics well. It's about building the strongest possible position in Amazon profit analytics, making Nova the platform that sets the standard for what's possible in this space.

Positioning Creates Capability

Nova's exclusive focus on analytics means we can offer capabilities that would be economically impossible for all-in-one platforms to justify: building P&L views with any combination of 50+ KPIs, tracking TACoS at the product level, analyzing contribution margins, and handling complex edge cases like Subscribe & Save discount attribution with SP-API validation.

One supplement brand needed precise Subscribe & Save discount tracking across their product line. Nova's specialized positioning allowed us to build this into our core platform. For all-in-one tools, this level of detail would be a niche feature competing for resources with dozens of other capabilities.

Streamlined workflow for faster insights

All-in-one platforms offer many features under one roof: product research, keyword research, listing optimization, PPC management, profit tracking, competitor analysis, and more. According to Nielsen Norman Group research on cognitive load, navigating between multiple feature sets increases mental effort and reduces usability.

When you specialize in one domain, you don't just build better features. You build a stronger market position. Our exclusive focus on analytics means faster innovation cycles, deeper domain expertise, and the ability to set the standard for what profit analytics should be for Amazon sellers.

Pattern: agency reporting

Agencies managing multiple client accounts tell us the same thing: switching between an all-in-one's keyword tab, PPC tab, and analytics tab for every client adds up. Using Nova as the dedicated P&L layer alongside their existing keyword and PPC tools removes the tab-hopping and keeps client reporting in one place — typically with our Agency P&L per client view.

Seamless integration with your existing stack

Most successful sellers already have a tech stack: Helium 10 for keywords, RepricerExpress for pricing, Perpetua for PPC. When you use an all-in-one platform that also offers these features, you may face questions about which tool's data to trust or which platform to use for each task.

Nova complements your existing tools by focusing exclusively on analytics. There's no overlap with your keyword research tool, no competition with your repricing software, no redundancy with your PPC platform. Nova simply provides the profit insights layer that ties everything together.

Integration Philosophy

Nova integrates with Amazon SP-API for financial data. That's it. No conflicts with your keyword tool. No competition with your repricing software. No overlap with your PPC platform.

A typical pattern from onboarding: a brand uses Helium 10 for keywords, a third-party repricer or Amazon Automate Pricing for pricing, a PPC tool like Perpetua or Teikametrics for ad bidding, and Nova for net profit, fees, returns, and product-level PPC analysis. Each tool does what it does best. No feature redundancy, no workflow conflicts.

Nova's specialized analytics advantage

Build P&L views that answer your questions

SellerApp shows you profit. Nova shows you why you're profitable (or not). With custom analytics, create dashboard views for any scenario:

  • TACoS by product: see which SKUs are advertising-efficient vs burning cash on ads
  • Contribution margin analysis: Understand true profitability after variable costs
  • Brand-level roll-ups: Compare performance across product lines or acquisitions
  • New vs repeat customer splits: track advertising impact on customer acquisition cost

Track every component of profitability: costs, fees, advertising, and shipping

SellerApp gives you one view of profit. Nova gives you unlimited views tailored to how you think about your business. Companies with customizable analytics make faster decisions than those using rigid dashboards. That's the core difference.

Custom Breakdowns: your data, grouped your way

Managing 50+ SKUs in SellerApp means scrolling through endless product lists. Nova's Custom Breakdowns let you create unlimited custom dimensions and apply them across every dashboard: P&L, Winners & Losers, A/B Testing, Day-to-Day.

Custom Breakdown Examples:

  • By supplier: see which vendor gives you the best margins after all Amazon fees
  • By brand manager: Compare team performance side by side
  • By lifecycle: New launches vs growth SKUs vs mature products
  • By ad strategy: Organic-only vs Sponsored vs Full Funnel vs DSP
  • By price tier: Compare margins across low, mid, and premium ranges

Then slice your entire P&L by any dimension in one click. SellerApp forces you to export data to Excel to do this kind of segmentation. No competitor in this comparison offers this level of portfolio grouping.

See what moved the numbers, not just that they moved

All-in-one tools show you what changed. Nova's Events tracker overlays product launches, price changes, BSR shifts, listing edits, and review spikes directly on your P&L timeline, so when net profit drops you can see which event caused it without piecing together five tabs.

Accuracy you can actually trust

All-in-one tools often prioritize breadth over precision. Nova reconciles net profit against Amazon SP-API settlement data so the number in your dashboard matches what hits your bank account, including the edge cases that trip up estimate-based tools:

  • Subscribe & Save: attribute recurring customer discounts to the correct P&L period
  • Inbound placement fees: reflect 2024–2026 fee changes per shipment
  • Multi-marketplace VAT: handle tax variations across EU and UK marketplaces
  • AWD fees: account for Amazon Warehousing & Distribution per-unit charges
  • Returns, refunds, reimbursements: recorded as P&L line items as Amazon posts them in settlements

What "reconciled" actually means

Estimate-based tools project FBA fees from category and size tier. That works until Amazon adjusts a fee, reclassifies a SKU, or applies a placement surcharge — at which point your dashboard and your settlement reports drift apart. Nova reads settlement reports directly, so net profit reflects what Amazon actually charged on each order rather than what a fee calculator predicted.

Estimate-based numbers are fine for back-of-the-envelope decisions. Reconciled numbers are what you need before discontinuing a SKU, raising a price, or signing off on a quarterly P&L.

Frequently asked questions

Not exactly. SellerApp bundles keyword research, listing optimization, PPC management, and analytics into one platform. Nova focuses exclusively on profit analytics: customizable P&L, custom breakdowns, fees, returns, refunds, reimbursements, and product-level PPC spend. If you want one tool for everything, keep SellerApp. If you want best-in-class analytics on top of the keyword and PPC tools you already use, add Nova.
Nova starts at $29/month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Extra Seller Central accounts are also $29/month each. Agency and enterprise plans are custom and start with a demo. SellerApp publishes tiered pricing across Pro Lite, Professional, and Enterprise plans — check their site for current rates.
Nova supports 21 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.
Yes. Nova only reads financial and operational data from Amazon SP-API. There is no overlap with keyword research, listing optimization, or PPC bidding tools, so SellerApp (or Helium 10, or Jungle Scout) keep doing their job while Nova handles the P&L layer.
Nova surfaces product-level ad spend, ad sales, ACoS, TACoS, and contribution margin per ASIN. It is not a campaign manager or bid optimizer — for that you would still use SellerApp, Perpetua, or a similar tool. Nova answers "which SKUs are profitable after ads?", not "which bid should this keyword have?".
