Listing software should optimize for 2 major problems.
#1 It should minimize the time Amazon sellers spend listing items.
#2 It should provide helpful inventory analytics (profitability, inventory valuation, etc.).
Let's compare the pros and cons of the following software.
Accelerlist
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | $34/mo |
| Pros |
- Pretty fast listing - Nice user interface - Reasonably priced |
| Cons |
- Profit analytics are not accurate - 30% of the features on their website don't work - Can be buggy - No apparent attempt to innovate further than what they have |
| Goal #1: Fast listing | Yes. While not the fastest listing software, it's definitely faster than Inventory Lab. |
| Goal #2: Accurate inventory analytics | No |
Scanlister
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | $34/mo |
| Pros |
- Cheapest software on the market - Functional - Faster workflow (although not as detailed) than Accelerlist |
| Cons |
- No profit analytics - No features other than listing - User interface isn't pretty - You need to have a license key for each computer you use, where the other software mentioned is web-based and isn't limited to the number of devices you can use. |
| Does it accomplish goal #1 (fast listing)? | Yes |
| Does it accomplish goal #2 (accurate inventory analytics)? | No. No inventory analytics whatsoever. |
Inventory Lab
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | $70/mo |
| Pros | - Really solid inventory analytics |
| Cons |
- Slower interface not optimized for speed - Expensive |
| Goal #1: Fast listing | No, Inventory Lab is almost as bad as Seller Central for listing books as many clicks are required. |
| Goal #2: Accurate inventory analytics | Yes. Inventory Lab lives up to its name with profit analytics. |
Go2lister
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Price | $50/mo |
| Pros |
- Fastest listing software on the market. - Accurate profit analytics. - Easiest to use (and prettiest) user interface. Even complete beginners can navigate with ease. - Growing company.

| Cons | - Compared to Inventory Lab, there aren't nearly as many reports. However, many of these reports are unnecessary. Go2lister has focused on giving you the most important reports that you actually need. |
| Goal #1: Fast listing | Yes. Go2lister is factually the fastest listing software for booksellers. Watch me list 20 books in just 60 seconds here.
