Plans as checked for our eRank and EverBee reviews in October 2026. Both tools change plans; confirm before paying.
eRank is a keyword tool. Type a phrase such as wedding seating chart template and it estimates Etsy search activity, counts competing listings and suggests related long-tail phrases. Around that sit a listing audit that flags unused tags and over-long titles, a rank checker and competitor tracking.
Its strength is cheap, daily keyword work. The Basic plan's 100 searches a day cover a growing shop, and the free plan's 5 a day are enough for a seller who researches one product at a time.
EverBee is a product tool. Its Chrome extension overlays estimated monthly sales, revenue and listing age on Etsy search results, so you can see at a glance which listings appear to sell. Paid plans add a Keyword Score and tag analysis.
Its strength is answering "is there money here?" before you make anything. Spotting a listing with strong estimated sales, few reviews and weak photos is a direct product opportunity.
Insight: The two tools fail in opposite ways. eRank can point you to a phrase lots of people search that few people buy from. EverBee can point you to a product that sells, without telling you which words its buyers use. That is why sellers who use both rarely regret it — each covers the other's blind spot.
| Your situation | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New shop, under 20 listings | eRank Free or Basic | Titles and tags are the bottleneck |
| Deciding your next 5 products | EverBee Growth for a month | Demand evidence before design time |
| 100+ listings to maintain | eRank Pro | Audits and rank tracking at scale |
| Several shops or a team | EverBee Business or eRank Expert | Multi-shop features |
| Tight budget | eRank Free + Etsy's search bar | Covers most research for $0 |
A practical rhythm: one month of EverBee when planning a new product range, then eRank month to month while you list and refine.
When this routine starts taking more than an hour a week, a paid tool earns its cost.
Neither designs the product, exports print-ready files or writes the listing around the file. Craftific does that part — templates for planners, printables, Notion and KDP, a commercial licence on every export, and AI listing copy on Pro — and its keyword checks use Google monthly search volume, trend and season rather than Etsy marketplace estimates. For the full research method, see the Etsy keyword research guide.
eRank, usually. Its free plan allows 5 Keyword Tool searches a day with no time limit, and Basic is $5.99 a month. A beginner's main job is getting titles and tags right, which is exactly what eRank does.
They are estimates modelled from public listing signals, not Etsy's own data. Use them to compare products against each other — which of ten planners sells more — rather than as a forecast of what you will earn.
Yes, and many sellers do: EverBee to pick a product with proven demand, eRank to choose the words for its title and tags. If budget allows only one, pick by the question you are stuck on this month.
No. Etsy's search bar, your own Etsy Stats and free tools cover the basics. Paid research saves time once you are making several products a month and guessing has started to cost you.
Marmalead is another keyword tool, strongest on seasonality and engagement, with no free plan. See our Marmalead alternative review for how it compares with eRank.
