Built for the publishing workflow
From a book idea to a better launch decision.
AuthorScout brings the research steps together so you can spend less time switching tools and more time publishing with evidence.
Find books buyers already want
Spot recently published books that are selling with few reviews and little competition—proof that demand exists before a review moat forms.
Choose categories with evidence
Search a topic to compare real Amazon categories by competition, book count, and the BSR needed for the top 10.
Analyze any book in depth
Deep Dive combines BSR, price, review, and rating history with estimated sales and revenue, so you can see whether demand is holding or fading.
Check book rank across marketplaces
Compare one ASIN across 9 Amazon stores—US, UK, DE, FR, ES, IT, CA, IN, and MX—to find its strongest rank and price.
Track books after you find them
Book Tracker follows daily rank, price, ratings, reviews, and estimated sales so you can see whether a title is climbing or sliding.
Screen titles and research from AI
Check US and EU trademark records before publishing, then research through AuthorScout in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and compatible AI clients.
Real proof, at a glance
The opportunity is in the combination.
Find newer books with a strong sales rank and very few reviews. Then compare price, estimated sales, and royalties to decide what is worth researching.

Profitable Titles
Spot recently published, independently published books that are already selling while they still have few reviews and little competition. That's the opportunity: another self-publisher has proved demand exists, and no review moat has been built yet, so you can still compete.
Filter thousands of books by BSR, reviews, age, niche, and priceOpen featureTop Performing
Sort thousands of discovered books by estimated revenue, lowest BSR, fewest reviews, rating, or publication age. You can move from a large market feed to the books worth investigating without checking listings one by one.
Rank thousands by revenue, BSR, reviews, rating, or ageOpen featureCategory Search
Your categories decide who ever sees your book. Search a topic and get real Amazon category paths with a competition read — how many books, how hard to rank, the BSR needed for the top 10 — so you can pick accurate categories with real demand and a genuine shot at the bestseller badge. The same research applies when you publish elsewhere.
Compare 5 category matches across all 12 Amazon storesOpen featureCategory Explorer
Choose a marketplace, format, demand level, and competition level. AuthorScout scans selectable category paths and ranks the matches by opportunity, with product count, competition, demand, and the BSR needed to reach the top 10.
Filter category opportunities by demand and competitionOpen featureBook Analysis & Deep-Dive
One snapshot of a book will mislead you — a rank means nothing without knowing where it came from. Deep dive puts BSR, price, review and rating history on one screen, plus estimated monthly sales and revenue, so you see whether demand is holding or fading before you compete with it.
Compare current metrics with historical movementOpen featureBook Rank Across Marketplaces
A niche that's saturated in the US can still be open somewhere else. Compare one ASIN across 9 Amazon stores — US, UK, DE, FR, ES, IT, CA, IN, MX (Japan isn't included) — to see where its rank and price are strongest before you decide the market is closed.
Compare one ASIN across 10 live Amazon storesOpen featureBook Tracker
Research gives you one moment; it can't tell you direction. Book Tracker follows daily changes in rank, price, ratings, reviews and estimated sales across those same marketplaces, so you know whether a title is climbing or sliding before you commit months of work to it.
Track daily BSR, price, and review changesOpen featureKeyword Search
Enter a word or phrase to search AuthorScout's complete discovery database. Narrow the matching books by niche, BSR, reviews, publication age, and price to see which title patterns are crowded and which are already attracting buyers.

It helps you find promising book ideas, check demand, choose categories, analyze book history, compare Amazon marketplaces, track competitors, and screen titles for trademark conflicts. You can research from the website, Chrome extension, or a connected AI.
Can I use AuthorScout from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok?+
Yes—where that AI account supports MCP connections. Connect AuthorScout once, then ask the AI to use profitable-title discovery, category research, keyword search, book analysis, marketplace comparison, and tracking during the conversation.
Does AuthorScout MCP require another subscription?+
No. MCP access is included with your AuthorScout Pro subscription. There is no separate MCP plan or second AuthorScout payment, and your normal Pro usage limits still apply.
Can AuthorScout help me choose KDP categories in different countries?+
Yes. Category Search and Category Explorer cover all 12 supported Amazon category marketplaces. You can choose a marketplace, search its native category tree, and compare relevant category paths before uploading your book.
Are the books on this page real?+
Yes. The examples are unique records from AuthorScout marketplace snapshots. At capture time, every displayed example had one review, was less than 30 days old, and had an Amazon sales rank below 20,000.
How are estimated royalties calculated?+
They are directional estimates after print-cost allowance. The calculator applies KDP's published rates, price bands, delivery charges, and printing-cost tables to what you enter, but you should still confirm the final amount in KDP before publishing.
Do I need to pay?+
No. The free plan includes useful research tools, Amazon page analysis, selected profitable titles, category searches, book deep-dives, marketplace checks, audiobook signals, and publishing calculators. Pro adds the complete feed, higher limits, advanced search, category exploration, tracking, trademark screening, and MCP access.
Does it work outside Amazon US?+
Yes. AuthorScout is built for marketplace-by-marketplace research. Category Search and Category Explorer cover 12 Amazon category trees; Book Rank Across Marketplaces checks one ASIN across 10 live stores; Book Analysis, Book Deep-Dive (BSR, price, and review history), and Book Tracker keep the selected marketplace with the book; and the calculators use local currencies and marketplace rules. Trademark Checker can screen a title before any marketplace launch using the connected USPTO and EUIPO registers.
Is my research private?+
Yes—your research activity is never sold or shared; read the privacy policy.
Can I cancel Pro anytime?+
Yes. You keep Pro through the end of the paid billing period and there is no long-term contract.
