Alura vs ListingView
Alura publishes AI rewrites of your titles, tags and descriptions to Etsy on every plan, Free included, then adds buyer follow-ups, Pinterest, Etsy Ads and A/B tests as you upgrade. ListingView saves publishing for its Plus plan and is built for sellers who research hard and list in bulk, especially print on demand.

ListingView facts from the sources below, checked October 15, 2026. “Not listed” means their site doesn't mention it; “No” means their own docs confirm it isn't offered. Prices in USD. Alura's limits by plan are on our pricing page.
Where each one comes out ahead
Where ListingView is stronger
Unlimited research on the first paid plan
Scout has no cap on keyword, tag, shop or product lookups for $39 a month, or $29 billed yearly. Alura Basic allows 50 searches a day and Growth 500; unlimited needs Professional, $69.99 a month or $29.99 billed yearly.1,2
Listings in bulk, not one by one
Bulk Create turns a folder of designs into Etsy drafts using saved price, shipping and mockup presets. The Bulk Editor changes 17 fields across 200 listings per batch on Plus, with 50 undo steps. Alura has no bulk editor or bulk create; you optimize and publish listing by listing.1,3,9,10
Print on demand and digital files
Connect Printify and new print on demand listings route their orders to it automatically. Digital listings get hosted files and a branded PDF of download links. Plus adds 1,000 standard and 100 premium mockups a day. Alura offers neither Printify routing nor file delivery.1,2,3
An extension for Firefox and Edge too
The ListingView extension runs on Chrome, Firefox and Edge, with Safari listed as coming soon, and shows estimated sales, revenue and a Listing Score on Etsy pages. Alura's extension is published on the Chrome Web Store only.5,20
Where Alura is stronger
Publishing on every plan
Alura scores a listing, rewrites its title, tags and description with AI, and publishes the change to Etsy. Free covers 10 listings and Basic, at $11.99 a month, covers 100. ListingView keeps publishing for Plus and above. AI features use credits.1,2
Marketing once the listing is live
Buyer follow-ups at order and delivery start on Basic. Growth adds automatic Pinterest pins, an Etsy Ads optimizer that pauses unprofitable ads, A/B tests and a profit dashboard. Email marketing is a Growth add-on. ListingView lists none of these.1,3
A lower first step
Basic costs $11.99 a month, or $7.99 billed yearly, for 50 keyword and product searches a day, 2,000 AI credits, follow-ups and publishing. If you want to fix and publish listings rather than research all day, it costs far less than Plus.1
Your Etsy data in an AI assistant
The Alura MCP and API bring keyword, product and shop research into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or your own scripts, on every plan including Free. ListingView lists no public MCP or API on its site.3
Which numbers does a keyword lookup show in each tool?
One Etsy search term, opened in each tool. The ListingView side comes from its help articles on the Search Term Analyzer and Tag Analyzer, the Alura side from its keyword research page. We compare what each screen shows, not numbers.4,13,14
| ListingView | Alura | |
|---|---|---|
| Demand | Monthly search volume and total views | Monthly search volume |
| Proof of sales | Lifetime sales and revenue for the term | Average listing price and sales per listing |
| Competition | Competing listings and shops, Keyword Score | Listing count, competition level, difficulty |
| History | Sales and revenue, 30 days to all time | 12 months of searches against the year before |
| Related terms | Up to 20, taken from top listings' tags | Similar keywords with volume, level and score |
| Beyond Etsy | Not listed | Google volume, CPC and competition |
ListingView asks how much a term has already sold: lifetime sales and revenue, then the top 10 listings behind them. Alura asks whether a term is worth ranking for: demand, difficulty and Google interest. Both estimate. Neither gets exact numbers from Etsy, and ListingView's own FAQ calls its research figures directional signals.
Is ListingView or Alura cheaper?
For research alone, ListingView can cost less: Scout gives unlimited lookups for $39, where Alura's unlimited plan is Professional at $69.99. Billed yearly the gap closes: Scout is $29 a month and Alura Professional $29.99, with publishing, marketing and multiple shops included. To publish, Alura Basic at $11.99 is enough, while ListingView needs Plus at $84.99, or $59 yearly. Alura has no bulk creation, Printify routing or file delivery.

At the same budget

| Around $30 a month | Scout billed yearly at $29 a month: unlimited research and 250 AI credits, without publishing or CSV export. | Growth at $29.99, or $14.99 billed yearly: 500 searches a day, the full database, CSV export, Pinterest, Etsy Ads and A/B tests. |
| Around $60 a month | Plus billed yearly at $59 a month: publishing, Bulk Create, bulk edits of 200 listings, Printify and 3 shops. | Professional billed yearly at $29.99 a month ($359.88): unlimited searches, multiple shops and 20 A/B tests. |

Eighteen ratings are a small sample, and both brands do most of their work in a web app, not the extension. We found no ListingView page on Trustpilot. Ratings read October 15, 2026.
Leaving ListingView, or keeping both
Both tools work with your shop through Etsy's API, so you can run them side by side. ListingView keeps your watchlists, presets and files when you cancel and drops you to Free. Database and Shop Analyzer views export to CSV on Plus. Bulk Create presets, Printify routing and PDF delivery have no Alura equivalent, so keep ListingView for those.2,12,16,17
- Export the Database and Shop Analyzer views you rely on to CSV while your plan allows it.
- Sign up for Alura Free and connect the same Etsy shop.
- Run your saved keywords through Alura's bulk keyword search, up to 100 at a time.
- If you sell print on demand or digital files, disconnect Printify first; ListingView shows which listings will stop delivering.
- Cancel under Settings, Manage Subscription; the plan runs to the end of the period, then becomes Free.
