What Are Seats on Jungle Scout? User Limits & Pricing
In this guide
The quick answer
What are seats on Jungle Scout?
A seat on Jungle Scout is access for one user within a subscription. Included seats come with the plan; additional seats cost extra on eligible plans. The account owner uses one seat, so you and one assistant need two seats altogether. Each invited person can use their own login.
If you are comparing Jungle Scout plans, this small detail can change your software budget. A low starting price tells you little about the total cost once a partner, researcher, or virtual assistant also needs access.
I have been selling on Amazon since 2016. In my video, I explain seats using the older Basic, Suite, and Professional plans. Below, I keep that explanation and separate it from the current plans so you can make a useful comparison.

Think of seats as places for people on your subscription. Start by writing down who actually needs to log in, including yourself. Then compare that headcount with the number of users included in the package.
Included seats
These are already part of the base subscription price. A plan with one included seat covers the account owner. That allowance does not also include a separate assistant.
Additional seats
These expand the number of users beyond the included allowance. Check both whether your plan permits them and the recurring cost for each extra person.
For example, you plus two researchers means three users. If your package includes one seat, you need capacity for two additional people. If it includes three, your team fits within that allowance.
Keep people, permissions, and marketplaces separate in your planning. A seat covers a user; the team settings determine which available features and connected account data that person can access.
Before subscribing, make a small roster: person, task, expected start date, and required access. This helps you distinguish an active teammate from someone you may hire later. It also gives you a concrete question for support if the package description is unclear: how many named people can use this exact subscription?
What did the Basic, Suite, and Professional plans include?
The video describes the following older arrangement. These figures explain the recording and should be treated as historical information.
| Plan in the video | Included seats | Additional seats |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 1 | Not available |
| Suite | 1 | $49 per user, monthly |
| Professional | 6 | $49 per user, monthly |
My comparison was straightforward: Suite at $69 per month plus one $49 seat totaled $118. Professional was $129 per month and included six users. The difference was $11 per month, which made the larger package worth considering for a growing team.
That is why I recommended Professional in the video. The useful lesson is to compare the complete team cost. Today’s prices and allowances require a fresh calculation, especially if you are choosing annual billing.
How many seats do current Jungle Scout plans include?
Jungle Scout now presents these seller plans under Catalyst. Its current pricing comparison lists the following standard US-dollar prices and allowances. Annual totals are billed yearly; they are not monthly installments.
| Plan | Included seats | Monthly billing | Annual total | Add seats? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 | $49 | $348 | No |
| Growth Accelerator | 1 | $79 | $588 | Yes |
| Brand Owner | 3 listed* | $149 | $1,548 | Yes |
*Confirm the Brand Owner allowance. The pricing table lists three included users, while its FAQ and the membership guide mention ten. These official descriptions conflict. Confirm the allowance for your exact offer with Jungle Scout before purchasing for a team.
If you already have a subscription, check its own included-seat allowance before using this table to make changes. An older package or a specific offer may show different terms. When asking support, give them your plan name, billing period, and number of intended users. Ask for the total recurring charge and the included-user count together, so the answer resolves both access and price for the same subscription before you authorize a purchase.
The main pricing FAQ quotes extra seats at $49 per month, or $459 per year on an annual plan. Confirm the displayed charge in your account, particularly if you have an older subscription or promotional package.
Should you buy an extra seat or upgrade your plan?
Compare the same number of people over the same billing period. These calculations use the standard prices above, assume three included Brand Owner seats, and exclude taxes and promotions.
Two users, paying monthly
Growth Accelerator: $79 + $49 = $128. Brand Owner is $149. Growth costs $21 less per month, so check whether the higher plan’s other features justify that difference.
Three users, paying monthly
Growth Accelerator: $79 + $98 = $177. Brand Owner is $149. With three included seats confirmed, Brand Owner costs $28 less per month for this team.
Annual billing changes the result. Three users on Growth Accelerator cost $588 + $459 + $459 = $1,506 per year. Brand Owner costs $1,548 per year. Growth is $42 cheaper annually in this example, so an upgrade is not automatically the cheapest route.
I would also list the work each person will do. A researcher who needs regular access has a clear reason for a seat. Someone who only receives your finished report may not need their own subscription access. Buy capacity for a defined workflow.
Write your comparison as: base subscription + paid extra seats = total team cost. Keep monthly and annual options on separate lines. Then add the actual promotional quote beside the standard total. This makes it easier to spot an offer that discounts the main plan while leaving user charges unchanged.
Your expected duration matters too. A short research assignment and an ongoing business partnership create different needs. Before committing to a year, decide whether the work will continue throughout that period and whether the larger upfront payment fits your budget.

How do you add users to your Jungle Scout account?
Account owners can follow Jungle Scout’s seat-purchase instructions and invitation guide. Check your existing capacity before paying for more.
- Check available seats. Open Settings, then Subscriptions. Review the total, used, and available seats. The used count includes you.
- Add capacity if needed. Select Edit Seats and set the new total. Review the prorated charge due immediately and the recurring subscription amount before confirming.
- Open user management. Go to Settings, then User & Team Management. On the Users tab, select Invite User.
- Choose the person and permissions. Enter their email and select a team. Full Access is the default, so check the selection before sending.
- Complete the invitation. Send the invite and have your colleague activate their account from the email. Confirm that they can access the tools needed for their assignment.
If the recipient already has a Jungle Scout account, the invitation-acceptance guidance says to log out first or open the activation link in an incognito window.
What can additional Jungle Scout users access?
Jungle Scout’s team settings let owners manage access to connected Amazon accounts, marketplaces, and features. Every invited member belongs to a team. Set those permissions around the person’s responsibilities.
For example, I would create a research team for people evaluating products and keywords, then give it the relevant available tools. Before assigning a real project, ask each person to complete one small task and confirm that their access is sufficient.
Jungle Scout’s pricing FAQ states that additional users cannot access billing information or your credit card details, and cannot change the account. Separate invitations also let you revoke someone’s access when their work ends.
Keep a simple record of the person, their role, and their review date. When responsibilities change, revisit permissions. This makes a seat part of an organized working process, with a clear owner for each task.
How can you make each paid seat useful?
A seat provides access; your instructions give that access a purpose. I would begin with one clearly defined assignment instead of asking a new teammate to explore everything. For a product researcher, that could mean comparing three candidate products and explaining which assumptions still need checking.
Agree on the output
Specify the marketplace, the research question, the delivery date, and the format of the result. Ask for the evidence behind a recommendation so you can review the reasoning together.
Review the first assignment
Check whether the person could complete the task with their assigned permissions. Identify missing access, unclear instructions, or a training gap before paying for a different package.
For example, a researcher might return a shortlist with estimated demand, competitor observations, and unanswered supplier questions. Your review can then focus on the next decision. The number of tools opened during the assignment is less useful than whether the work helps you choose what to investigate.
At the next renewal, review each seat against upcoming work. Keep the people who need continuing access, update permissions where roles have changed, and check billing when a project ends. This is a practical routine for controlling software spending as your team changes.
Help your team learn Jungle Scout
The playlist mentioned in my video contains 100+ tutorials. Choose a lesson that matches the person’s first assignment, then have them practice with a real research question. Older lessons may show previous screens or subscription names.
Open the Jungle Scout tutorial playlistJungle Scout seats: frequently asked questions
Does the account owner count as a seat?
Yes. Jungle Scout’s used-seat count includes the owner. You and one virtual assistant therefore need two user places in total.
Can I add seats to Basic or Starter?
The Basic plan in the video did not support additional seats. The current Starter plan is also limited to one user. Compare an eligible multi-user plan if another person needs access.
Does one seat mean one Amazon marketplace?
A seat represents a person. Marketplace permissions are managed separately through team settings. Check the connected accounts and available features needed by each user.
Will another seat increase every tool limit?
Do not assume extra users multiply search, tracking, or export allowances. Check the selected plan’s feature limits and ask Jungle Scout how those limits apply to your team before buying more capacity.
Should my assistant use my login?
Invite your assistant as a separate user and select an appropriate team. This lets you manage their access individually and keeps your owner login under your control.
Does removing a user cancel a paid seat?
Do not assume that removing access changes billing. Review your purchased seat total and renewal amount under Subscriptions, and confirm any billing change with Jungle Scout before relying on a lower charge.
My recommendation: Count your users, confirm the included allowance, and compare the complete cost for your chosen billing period. Then set up permissions and give each person a clear first task. That is how I would turn a subscription decision into a useful team workflow.
