Seller Assistant vs ChannelMAX

ChannelMAX runs a low-cost algorithm on minimum prices you enter yourself. Seller Assistant builds your floor from what you actually paid and explains every price change.

Which one fits your workflow?

Choose Seller Assistant if you want floors that maintain themselves

Every price change is explained, and every minimum comes from your real landed cost — not a number you type into a column and revisit later.

  • Price floors built from your own purchase orders and shipments
  • Full decision history with the matched rule behind every reprice
  • Event-driven repricing in seconds, on every plan and every SKU

Beyond the algorithm

Three differences that actually matter

A cheap algorithm is only cheap until it prices below a cost it never knew about.

Landed cost pulled from a purchase order and FBA shipment into a repriced product
Real costs, not typed costs

Your floor moves the moment your costs do

ChannelMAX only reprices SKUs where you've entered a minimum, and that minimum is a number you maintain — by hand or by file upload — as supplier prices, prep fees, and freight change underneath it. Seller Assistant pulls landed cost straight from your Purchase Orders and FBA Shipments, so every affected floor recalculates on its own.

Full reasoning, every time

Every price has a reason you can read

ChannelMAX's algorithm decides for you; what it decided is visible, why it decided is not. Seller Assistant logs the matched rule and the market snapshot behind every reprice — including the cycles where nothing changed — so a price you don't recognize is never a mystery.

Fast repricing shouldn't be a pricing tier

With ChannelMAX, how often your prices update depends on which plan you're on. Seller Assistant is event-driven for everyone: as soon as Amazon reports an offer change, your strategy recalculates and submits a new price within seconds — across your whole catalog, with no faster tier to upgrade to.

Workflow

Switching from ChannelMAX?

Frequently asked questions

Visit Help Center
Do I have to set a minimum price on every product?
No. Repricer builds a floor for each product from your actual landed cost — using break-even, markup, target ROI, or target margin — so protection applies without you filling in a column. You can still set manual minimums and maximums per SKU whenever you want to override it.
How does Seller Assistant decide what price to set?
Every reprice runs through a named strategy built from conditional rules — Buy Box ownership, competitor count, stock level, time of day — so you can see which conditions will trigger a change before it happens, and read the matched rule afterward in decision history.
Does faster repricing cost more?
No. Repricing is event-driven on every plan: as soon as Amazon reports a price or Buy Box change, your strategy recalculates and submits within seconds, for every enrolled product.
Does Seller Assistant reprice on Walmart or eBay?
No — Repricer is Amazon-only today, across every Amazon marketplace connected to your account. ChannelMAX covers more channels if multi-marketplace repricing is your priority.
What happens to my ChannelMAX Min/Max values when I switch?
They import in bulk and work as manual limits immediately. From there you can switch any product to a dynamic floor built from break-even, markup, target ROI, or target margin, and stop maintaining those numbers by hand.
