Frequently Asked Questions

AsinSift is an advanced product research tool built for Amazon FBA sellers. It scans Amazon's catalog using a 4-stage pipeline — Discovery, Vision Scoring, Review Analysis, and Blade Shortlist — to identify high-opportunity products you can source and sell profitably.

You'll need an Amazon Product Advertising API (PA-API) key for pulling product data and an OpenRouter API key for the analysis stages. Both can be configured in your account settings after signing up. AsinSift provides step-by-step setup instructions.

AsinSift pricing is based on your plan tier. Starter accounts include 3 free scans per month. Pro accounts get unlimited scans for $49/month. Note that each scan also uses your own Amazon PA-API and OpenRouter API keys, so standard usage fees from those providers may apply.

The Blade Shortlist is the final output of AsinSift's 4-stage pipeline. After scanning, scoring, and analyzing products, the Blade algorithm calculates a composite Opportunity Score and ranks every ASIN — surfacing only the highest-potential products for your sourcing workflow.

A Scan runs the full 4-stage pipeline across many ASINs (up to 200) to produce a broad shortlist — ideal for discovery. A Deep Dive goes deeper on individual ASINs with expanded review analysis, competitive mapping, margin calculations, and supplier signals — ideal for validation before sourcing.

AsinSift pulls product data from Amazon's Product Advertising API, including pricing, BSR, categories, and seller information. Customer reviews are analyzed using Advanced algorithms, and listing images are evaluated with computer vision. All analysis is powered by advanced proprietary algorithms.

A typical scan completes in 2 to 5 minutes depending on the number of ASINs and the complexity of your search parameters. Deep Dives may take slightly longer due to the expanded analysis. You'll receive results as soon as processing completes.

Yes. All scan results and Blade Shortlists can be exported to CSV for use in spreadsheets or other tools. Pro accounts get advanced filtering and export customization options.

Absolutely. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Your API keys are stored securely using industry-standard encryption and are never shared. We do not sell, share, or use your research data for any purpose other than delivering your results.

You can upgrade to Pro at any time for unlimited scans at $49/month. For teams or agencies with specialized requirements, our Enterprise plan offers custom scan limits, API access, and dedicated support. Contact us to discuss your needs.
