Product Sniper
Scan Amazon's entire catalog with precision filters to surface hidden gems and high-potential products that competitors miss. Cast a wide net with specific criteria to discover opportunities you didn't know existed.
Overview
While Market Research helps you validate a specific niche, Product Sniper helps you find the niches you didn't even know existed. By casting a wide net with specific filters, you can surface winners that competitors often miss.
- Speed — Filter through millions of products in seconds
- Precision — Target exact revenue, size, and competition bands
- Opportunity — Identify "hidden gems" with high sales but low review counts
- Strategy — Test multiple product ideas without manual searching

Filter Deep Dive
Simple Filters
Located at the top of the page, these are your "Big Four" metrics for rapid discovery:
- Price — Target products within your investment range
- Revenue — Confirm there is enough monthly volume to justify a launch
- Reviews — Filter out high-competition "sharks"
- Category — Narrow your search to specific Amazon departments or niches
Advanced Filters
Toggle Advanced Filters to access professional-grade research criteria, grouped into three logical categories:
Basic Metrics — Deepen your core research with additional performance data:
- Rating — Find products with 4.5+ stars (high quality) or under 4.0 stars (improvement opportunities)
- Listing Age — Target "New Winners" launched in the last 3-12 months
- Monthly Revenue — Set exact minimum and maximum thresholds for monthly revenue
Size & Logistics — Optimize for profit margins by filtering for physical specifications:
- Dimensions (L/W/H) — Stay within "Standard Size" limits to avoid oversized FBA fees
- Weight — Target lightweight items to minimize shipping costs and storage overhead
Discovery & Branding — Surface hidden opportunities using unique Amazon data points:
- Best Seller Rank (BSR) — Target specific sales velocity bands within a category
- Sales to Review Ratio — Find products selling thousands of units with very few reviews
- Exact/Exclude Brand — Filter out major competitors or analyze a specific brand's catalog
- Title Keyword — Search for specific materials (e.g., "bamboo") or features (e.g., "USB-C")
Use the Exclude Brand filter to remove "Amazon" and "Basics" from your results. This ensures you're looking at opportunities for private label sellers, not competing directly with the retail giant.
