* Premium allowances. Keyword lookups have no monthly allowance; fair use is explained below. For the other included tools, each subscription month you get:

  • 200 uses in total across Crossover, Keyword Smash, Discover, personalised Radar and extra Market Briefing reports.
  • 100 uses in total across coaching, build guides and AI listing drafts.
  • 60 included Listing Videos credits each paid subscription month, plus 10% off credit packs. Included credits expire at period-end; purchased credits carry over.
How allowances and access work

Free discovery, crossovers, keyword lookups and saved work require an account. Idea checks also work without an account. No card is needed.

Each free account starts with 3 discovery searches and 3 crossovers. Starter uses do not expire. Seven days after your third discovery, one discovery search becomes available, then one every seven days after use. Weekly searches do not accumulate; crossovers do not renew. Failed discovery and crossover searches use no allowance.

Free Radar offers one shared seasonal idea per London calendar day, selected from the crafts with available evidence. It needs an account but no connected shop or maker profile, and uses no research allowance. Craft coverage can vary; a daily idea may be unavailable. Premium Radar creates up to three ideas tailored to your maker profile, with watched directions. Each daily update uses one shared research run and can start automatically when you visit Radar, at most once per rolling 24 hours.

Keyword Smash sits inside Keyword research. Choosing two keywords uses no research run; generating their combined product idea requires Premium and uses one of the shared 200 monthly research runs. The keyword lookups themselves keep their separate allowance.

Free keyword lookups reset at midnight UTC. One phrase search includes related results; repeats that day and reading saved results use no extra lookup. Missing figures may need time to collect.

* Keyword fair use. Premium has no monthly keyword allowance for everyday research. To prevent automated or unusually heavy use, research is limited to 30 requests per minute and 500 requests in a rolling 24 hours. A request can include several phrases. Requests needing new supplier figures may be queued or temporarily paused when capacity is busy. Saved work stays available and there are no automatic overage charges.

Premium research, planning and visual allowances reset with your subscription month and do not roll over. A research run includes its background checks. Weekly Market Briefing views, Competition Watch, Search visibility, listing reviews and reopening saved work do not use those monthly allowances. Extra briefing reports use one research run; AI listing generation uses one planning action. No automatic overage charges.

Search visibility requires your own connected Etsy shop. It follows your shop’s best position for each phrase in the first 100 Etsy API results for UK delivery; buyer results can vary. Premium checks run roughly daily, with up to 90 days of history.

Listing reviews cover text, not photos. AI reviews require your own connected Etsy shop. Saved drafts remain available without Premium; creating a new AI draft requires Premium. Review and copy your changes into Etsy yourself.

Listing Videos is available with credits on Free and Premium accounts. Premium includes 60 video credits each paid subscription month and 10% off credit packs. Included credits expire at the end of that subscription period; purchased credits carry over. Video credits are separate from research, planning and concept-visual allowances. You see the credit cost before generating. Use photos you have permission to use and review the video before adding it to Etsy.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you start.

Is this for my kind of shop?

Discovery, crossovers and build guides focus on physical products—from ceramics and textiles to woodworking and 3D printing. Start with your skills, materials and tools. Keyword research can also help with existing listings.

Do I need to connect my Etsy shop?

No connection is needed for keyword or product research. Connect your own shop for listing reviews, Search visibility and personalised suggestions. Shop access is read-only.

Can I improve products I already sell?

Yes. Research relevant keywords, review listing copy and compare suggested tags. Premium adds editable titles, descriptions and 13-tag drafts. Review and copy your changes into Etsy when you choose.

Are videos included in the subscription?

Premium includes 60 video credits each paid subscription month and 10% off credit packs. Free accounts can buy credits too. Included credits expire at the end of the subscription period; purchased credits carry over. The credit cost is shown before you generate. Review every result before adding it to Etsy.

Will it tell me what is guaranteed to sell?

No. Public Etsy signals and modelled search estimates help you decide what deserves a test. They cannot predict your traffic, orders or profit. You can inspect the sources and limits behind the research.
