TEOM vs eRank: Which Etsy Research Tool Fits Your Shop in 2026?
You searched "eRank" because you want better Etsy data without wasting money on a tool you'll stop opening after two weeks. Fair. Here's the short answer.
eRank is a mature, keyword-first Etsy SEO toolkit with a free plan and paid plans from $5.99 a month. TEOM is a market-first research tool: it ranks live Etsy listings by opportunity, estimates sales and revenue, and tracks shops daily. TEOM's planned prices sit below eRank at every tier: free with 10 searches a day, $5 a month for 100, $9 a month for 250.
The rest of this article shows exactly where each one wins, so you can choose in five minutes instead of five trials.
The prices, side by side
Here's what each tool lists today. eRank's numbers come from its plans page in October 2026.
A few things the table doesn't say on its own:
- eRank counts per tool. Its Basic plan gives 100 keyword lookups a day plus 50 listing audits a day as separate allowances.
- TEOM counts once. A "search" is anything you run with Enter in any tab: Find products, Analyze a category, Top shops, Analyze a shop, What should I sell?, Tracking, Keyword research, Listing SEO, AI listing or Photo to listing. One pool, every tool.
- TEOM is free during early access. The plans above apply when paid plans launch, and nothing is ever charged without you choosing a plan first.
Do this today: count how many searches you actually ran last week. Most sellers land far under 100 a day, which makes the entry plan the one that matters.
What eRank does well
Credit where it's due. eRank has been around since January 2016 (it started as "EtsyRank") and it shows:
- A deep keyword toolset: keyword lookups, keyword lists, trend data and a rank checker.
- Listing audits that grade your own listings against SEO basics.
- Competitor tracking, from 5 competitors on Basic up to 200 on Expert.
- A Chrome extension that shows data while you browse Etsy.
- More than one marketplace: eRank says it covers over a dozen, including Amazon and eBay.
If your main job is polishing tags on listings you already have, eRank is a solid pick.
What TEOM does differently
TEOM starts from a different question: what is actually selling in this market right now, and is there room for me?
In TEOM: type any buyer search, like "teacher gift", and you get a market snapshot (demand and competition ratings, median price, share of new listings, share with zero favorites) plus every listing ranked by an opportunity score with estimated monthly sales and revenue.
Two details matter more than they look:
- The formula is on screen. TEOM shows how estimates are made: favorites times a calibrated ratio, divided by listing age, or measured sales when a shop has been tracked. You can judge the number instead of trusting a black box.
- Tracking measures, it doesn't guess. Track a shop and TEOM takes daily snapshots of its total sales and every listing's reviews. After two days it splits the shop's confirmed sales growth across listings.
In TEOM: "What should I sell?" scans a niche and writes 3 original listing drafts from the research (10 on the Pro plan), so you go from idea to a draft in one place.
Who should pick which
Be honest about your main question:
| Your main question | Better fit |
|---|---|
| "Which tags should my existing listings use?" | eRank |
| "I sell on Amazon and eBay too" | eRank |
| "What should I make next, and is the market crowded?" | TEOM |
| "Is this competitor growing this month?" | TEOM (daily tracking) |
| "I want the lowest monthly bill" | TEOM ($5 vs $5.99, $9 vs $9.99) |
Plenty of sellers use both: eRank for tag polish, TEOM for product decisions. If you only want to pay for one, decide by the question you ask most often.
Do this today: write your top three research questions on a sticky note. Match each one to a row above.
A 15-minute test you can run on both
Don't take my word for it. Run the same product idea through each tool:
- Pick one idea you're considering, like "personalized teacher tote".
- In eRank, look up the keyword and note search volume, competition and related terms.
- In TEOM, run it in Find products. Note demand, competition, median price and how many listings have zero favorites.
- Ask: which result told me whether to make the product, not just how to tag it?
The tool that answers your real decision is the one worth paying for.
