So im finally trying to get my little wood carving shop off the ground and man the research side is a total headache. I've been looking into chrome extensions to help with finding what's actually selling because doing it manually is taking way too long and I'm just clicking around in circles. I keep seeing Everbee pop up in every single tutorial but then I read some older forum threads saying their data is mostly just guesses and that eRank is way more accurate for the actual tags and seo stuff. My budget is pretty tight—like maybe 50 bucks max for tools this month—so i really cant afford to subscribe to multiple platforms just to test them out.
Im trying to get my first 20 listings up by mid-october to catch the early holiday rush here in ohio and im just stuck on which one to actually trust. I also saw something about Alura but it seems kind of expensive for a beginner? Does one of these actually show real sales numbers on the search page or is it all just estimates based on shop favorites and views?
What are the actual essential chrome tools you guys use for etsy product research that are actually worth the money?

Honestly, over the years I have tried almost everything, and my biggest warning is to never trust 'exact' sales numbers on any Chrome extension. Etsy hides that data, so Everbee and Alura are basically just guessing based on shop favorites and reviews. If you want to keep your budget safe, here is how I do it:
- eRank: This is my absolute go-to. The basic plan is super cheap and the keyword data is way more reliable for SEO.
- Everbee (Free version): Just use the free tier to quickly peek at listing ages and tags on the search page, but dont pay for the premium. Save your 50 bucks for materials instead. Going all-in on paid extensions when you're just starting out is a quick way to lose money before you even make a sale.
