eRank

eRank is a research and listing-optimization service aimed at Etsy sellers, from new shop owners to established businesses. It is best for sellers who want keyword and competitor research alongside listing audits and trend tracking. Its Etsy-centered workflow is compelling, but daily quotas and a disclaimer on data reliability matter when research volume or accuracy is critical.

Overview

eRank brings search-term research, competitor analysis, trend data, and listing checks into one service. Its Keyword Tool analyzes the top 100 listings for a keyword, including tags, titles, prices, and views; it also supports keyword difficulty, search-volume data, SERP analysis, and competitor keywords. That breadth makes it useful for planning and reviewing Etsy listings, though the terms do not warrant that service data is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.

The browser extension adds full keyword and competitor research on Etsy and Amazon, with trend data for Printify, Shopify, eBay, and Teachers Pay Teachers. It is built for Google Chrome and installs through the Chrome Web Store. Only active Etsy shops can be connected, a constraint for sellers with inactive shops.

Key features

Research and listing checks

Looking across the top 100 listings gives sellers a concrete basis for comparing how competing products use tags and titles, as well as their prices and views. Health Check flags missing listing components, possible spelling issues, and one-word tags. These checks help surface work to review; sellers still need to judge which edits suit their products.

AI drafting and trends

AI Listing Helper generates titles, descriptions, and tags, which can accelerate a first draft but should not replace the seller’s own review. Trend data extends beyond Etsy, while full keyword and competitor research in the extension covers Etsy and Amazon. That distinction is useful for spotting broader signals, but does not make the service a full research suite for every marketplace.

eRank says its data protections include encryption, access controls, secure storage, and regular backups. It says it does not sell personal information, and users can request data deletion subject to legal or contractual retention obligations. Help guides, video tutorials, and a contact option provide support resources.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing with no time limit. It allows 5 keyword lookups/day, 1 shop, 50 listings, 5 listing audits/day, and 1 AI Listing Helper use/day. It is a sensible way to check the workflow, but its small daily allowances are restrictive for sustained research.

Basic monthly costs $5.99 a month and raises the caps to 100 keyword lookups/day, 5 competitors, 200 connected shop listings, and 50 listing audits/day. Basic annual costs $65.99 a year, billed annually ($5.50/mo), for the same limits. Basic suits sellers who need regular but relatively modest research; the annual term lowers the monthly equivalent but commits the full year’s price upfront.

Pro monthly costs $9.99 a month, or Pro annual at $94.99 a year, billed annually ($7.92/mo). Both provide 200 keyword lookups/day, 50 competitors, 4,000 connected shop listings, and 200 listing audits/day. This is the more capable fit for sellers comparing many competitors or managing larger connected catalogs.

Expert monthly costs $29.99 a month; Expert annual costs $269.99 a year, billed annually ($22.50/mo). Both allow 500 keyword lookups/day, 200 competitors, 5,000 connected shop listings, and 500 listing audits/day. It is aimed at high-volume use; sellers who will not approach those ceilings may get more than they need.

Paid plans renew monthly or annually according to the chosen term, and cancellation is permitted at any time. The published pricing note gives paid plans from $5.50/mo (annual), matching Basic annual’s monthly equivalent.

Platforms

eRank is available on the web and as a Google Chrome extension. The extension must be installed through the Chrome Web Store. Its shop connection is limited to active Etsy shops.

Who it's for

eRank fits Etsy sellers who want one place to investigate keywords, compare competitors, identify listing issues, and follow marketplace trends. Free is suited to occasional checks; Basic serves moderate daily use, while Pro and Expert raise research, competitor, listing, and audit capacity for heavier workloads. Sellers who need an inactive Etsy shop connected, or who require warranted data reliability, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Keyword research combines top-100 listing details with keyword difficulty, search volume, SERP analysis, and competitor keywords.
• Pro: Health Check and AI Listing Helper pair issue-spotting with title, description, and tag drafting.
• Pro: The extension spans Etsy and Amazon research and trend signals across several additional marketplaces.
• Con: Free usage is capped at five keyword lookups and five audits a day, plus one AI use, limiting repeated work.
• Con: Only active Etsy shops can connect, excluding sellers who need to work with inactive shops.
• Con: The terms disclaim warranties for accuracy, completeness, reliability, currency, and error-free service data.

EHunt has a free plan and trial across API, extension, and web, so it is worth comparing if those access options suit your work. Keyword Discovery offers a free plan and trial with 1,500 searches/day, which may suit readers prioritizing a higher stated search allowance.

Verdict

eRank is a strong fit for Etsy sellers who want keyword and competitor research connected to listing checks and trend tracking, with plan tiers that scale daily capacity. Its free plan can establish whether the workflow fits, and annual Basic is the lowest-cost paid tier. Look elsewhere if you need an inactive shop connection or depend on service data being warranted as accurate and current.
