Choosing the right Amazon seller tools can feel a little overwhelming, especially when the pricing pages are packed with features, usage caps, and acronyms. If you’ve landed here, you’re probably wondering which Helium 10 plan actually makes sense for your business, and what you’re really getting for your money.
The truth is, Helium 10 has something for everyone, but not every plan is worth it for every seller. In this guide, we’ll walk through each membership tier, from the completely free version to the full-featured Diamond plan, and break down what each one includes – without the fluff. Whether you’re just testing the waters or ready to scale fast, we’ll help you figure out what fits.
One thing that stands out with Helium 10 is that the team behind it doesn’t pretend every seller is at the same stage. Whether you’re just launching your first product or managing a growing portfolio across Amazon and Walmart, the platform scales with you.
Each plan offers a different mix of tool access, usage limits, and integrations. You’re not paying for bells and whistles you don’t need – or at least, that’s the idea. And if you just want to dip your toe in? There’s a free plan for that.
Let’s break it all down, starting with that free option.
Helium 10’s free plan is a good way to get a feel for the tools before you pay. You won’t be running a business with this plan alone, but you’ll get enough to experiment and understand how everything connects.
Key features available in the Free Plan:
This plan is ideal if you’re still figuring out what kind of seller you want to be, or just want to test the waters without handing over a credit card.
Price: $39/month or approximately $29/month when billed annually (about $349/year).
Who it’s for: Folks who have outgrown just browsing and are ready to truly launch, whether it’s your first product or you’re handling a couple of SKUs across Amazon or Walmart. If the free plan felt like window shopping, the Starter tier is stepping into the store.
Once you’re past the experimental phase, this plan gives you usable data – without being overwhelming or overpriced.
What the Starter Plan includes:
This plan isn’t trying to do too much, and that’s its strength. You’re not overwhelmed, but you get enough hands-on functionality to really move forward – research your first product, start listing, and see the numbers behind your work.
Price: $99/month (monthly billing) or $79/month when billed annually (totaling $948/year).
Who it’s for: If you’ve moved beyond launching your first product and are actively managing listings, running ads, or scouting new niches, the Platinum Plan gives you real traction. It’s the workhorse tier that many find hits the sweet spot between budget and capability.
Stepping into Platinum feels like entering a command center – suddenly, you’re not just exploring; you’re executing, scaling, and optimizing.
What you get with Platinum:
Still, compared to Starter, Platinum opens up real operational power without breaking the bank. If Starter feels like gaining access to a training wheels toolkit, Platinum is where you take off those wheels. It gives you enough data muscle, campaign control, and automation to start treating your Amazon business like a real business.
Price: $279 (monthly billing) or $229 per month when billed annually (totaling $2,748 per year).
Who it’s for: If you’re managing multiple brands, scaling across marketplaces, or running ad-heavy operations, this plan is built for you. It’s Helium 10’s most feature-rich package, designed to give you control, deep insights, and automation, so you can lead your business, not just manage it.
One thing’s clear: when you’re this serious about growth, every limit you bump into is a slowdown. That’s where Diamond shines.
What the Diamond Plan includes:
This plan isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. But if you’re juggling dozens of products, testing new platforms like TikTok, and running ad campaigns that need fine-tuning every hour, Diamond takes the guesswork out of scaling. You get not just tools, but systems, built for growth, not just maintenance.
Once you step beyond the Free Plan, you unlock access to dozens of performance metrics across both organic and paid efforts. These include:
Even the Starter Plan can give you a meaningful overview of how your products are doing – though you’ll need to move up a tier to track campaigns and keywords at scale.
More than anything, Helium 10’s pricing is about how much data you want access to, and how much of it you’re prepared to automate.
If you’ve only got one or two products live, Diamond probably won’t be worth it just yet. But if you’re juggling dozens of campaigns, testing new keywords, and expanding across TikTok and Walmart, it’s easy to justify the investment.

Helium 10 doesn’t just give you tools – it gives you a structure for growing your business. The pricing is designed to let you start small, scale up, and eventually automate the parts of your business that eat up your time.
You don’t have to guess your way through Amazon anymore. Whether you’re researching a product idea, analyzing keyword trends, or fixing leaky ad spend, there’s a plan that fits. Just don’t overpay before you need to.
If you’re still unsure, start with the free plan. Test out a few tools, take the Freedom Ticket course, and move up only when the data becomes too important to ignore.
Yep, there’s a true free plan. It’s not a time-limited trial, it just has strict usage caps. You can test tools like Black Box, Xray, and Cerebro in a limited way. If you’re brand new and just want to poke around before committing, it’s actually pretty useful. But no, it won’t replace a paid plan if you’re trying to run a real business.
The tools are the same, it’s just about how you pay. Monthly plans let you cancel anytime, but they cost more per month. If you go yearly, you’ll save around 25% depending on the plan. So if you’re serious about using Helium 10 long-term, annual billing makes more sense financially.
Not necessarily. Most sellers will do just fine with Platinum. Diamond is more for sellers managing a lot of SKUs, running bigger ad budgets, or scaling across marketplaces like TikTok and Walmart. If that’s not you (yet), Platinum has plenty of horsepower.
You won’t get charged extra automatically, but the tool will stop letting you use that feature until your limits reset. That’s usually monthly. It’s a good built-in reminder that you might be ready for the next plan up.
Yes, Helium 10 lets you upgrade or downgrade at any time. If you’re on a monthly plan, the change usually takes effect right away. If you’re billed annually, it might prorate depending on what you’ve already paid. Either way, you’re not locked into a tier forever.
We will get back to you ASAP.
