Why Sellers Are Switching from Marmalead
Marmalead is simple and beginner-friendly, but accuracy concerns are well-documented. Here's what drives sellers to look for alternatives:
📊
Questionable Data Accuracy
Uses Pinterest trends to estimate Etsy search volume - unreliable correlation. Example: "summer hat" showed only 35 searches in July-August (highly suspicious).
🚫
Etsy Only
No support for Amazon, POD platforms, or KDP book research. Limited to Etsy marketplace exclusively.
💰
Expensive for Limited Features
$19/month ($228/year) for an Etsy-only tool with documented accuracy issues. More expensive than competitors with fewer features.
🔍
No Real Etsy Data
Etsy doesn't share proprietary search data with third parties. Marmalead's estimates are based on indirect signals, not actual Etsy metrics.
⏱️
Loses Access on Cancel
ALL access lost immediately upon cancellation, even if your billing period hasn't ended. No grace period.
📉
Limited Features
No data exports, no AI assistant, no browser extension, no email marketing. Fewer features than competitors despite higher price.
⚠️
The Data Accuracy Problem
Marmalead uses Pinterest trends to estimate Etsy search volume - a questionable methodology with documented inaccuracies. Example: "summer hat" showed only 35 searches for July-August, the peak season for summer hats. This is highly suspicious and raises concerns about the reliability of all their data.
Etsy doesn't share proprietary search data with third parties. Any tool claiming exact Etsy search volume is using estimates, not real data. The difference? Insight Agent tracks real sales (verifiable marketplace data) instead of Pinterest correlations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about switching from Marmalead
The biggest difference is data accuracy. Marmalead uses Pinterest trends to estimate Etsy search volume, which has been documented as unreliable (e.g., "summer hat" showing only 35 searches in July-August). Insight Agent tracks real Etsy sales data, verified and updated twice daily. Additionally, we support multiple platforms (Etsy + Amazon + POD + KDP) while Marmalead is Etsy-only. We offer better value with more features, more platforms, and most importantly - accurate, verifiable data you can trust.
No. We track real Etsy sales data directly from actual listings. We don't rely on Pinterest trends or any indirect correlation methods. Our data comes from verified sales tracking across the Etsy marketplace, updated twice daily. This means you get accurate, real-world numbers instead of questionable estimates based on a completely different platform (Pinterest).
Our Etsy data is based on real sales tracking from actual listings, not estimates or projections. We update trends twice daily to ensure current accuracy. Unlike tools that use Pinterest trends or search volume estimates, we track verifiable sales data. When you see a trend in Insight Agent, it's based on actual marketplace performance, not suspicious estimates like "35 searches for summer hat in July-August".
Yes! Unlike Marmalead which is Etsy-only, Insight Agent includes full Amazon product research capabilities. You get keyword research, product trends, shop analytics, and BSR tracking for Amazon - plus Etsy, POD platforms, and KDP. Many sellers choose Insight Agent specifically because it covers both Etsy AND Amazon, eliminating the need for separate tool subscriptions.
Our free tier includes access to Etsy trends with real sales data, basic keyword research, and shop analyzer features. You can explore the platform and compare our data accuracy with Marmalead's estimates before upgrading. Free users can browse trends, view top-performing items, and verify the accuracy difference firsthand. Paid plans unlock more daily searches, AI optimization, full multi-platform access, and advanced features.
Absolutely. Marmalead only covers Etsy with questionable data accuracy. If you also sell on Amazon, POD platforms, or KDP, you'd need additional tools. Insight Agent replaces Marmalead (Etsy) + Helium 10/Jungle Scout (Amazon) + Book Bolt (KDP) with one platform offering real data across all marketplaces. Save money, reduce tool complexity, and get better data accuracy.
We track real sales data, which is more valuable than search volume estimates. Search volume can be misleading (as Marmalead's "summer hat" = 35 searches example shows). Sales data tells you what actually sells, not just what people search for. Our twice-daily updates show real marketplace performance with verifiable numbers, not Pinterest-based estimates or questionable projections.
Unlike Marmalead where you lose ALL access immediately upon cancellation (even if your billing period hasn't ended), Insight Agent follows standard subscription practices. You retain access through the end of your current billing period. We also have a free tier, so you can downgrade instead of canceling completely if you want to keep basic access.
We offer a full responsive web application that works on desktop, tablet, and mobile. While we don't currently have a dedicated browser extension like some tools, our web app provides comprehensive research capabilities without needing to install additional software. You can access all features from any device with a web browser.
Yes! Unlike Marmalead which doesn't offer data exports, Insight Agent allows you to export your research data, trends, keywords, and analytics. This is especially valuable for client work, reporting, or integrating with your own business systems. Export capabilities are available on paid plans.
