- •Bulk testing across listings saves hours vs spreadsheet copy-paste
Weaknesses
- •Pricing tools for marketplaces are well-served (Sellics, SellerCentral built-ins)
- •Limited to seller math—no connection to actual marketplace APIs or inventory

Post Description
Hi HN,
I built ProfitPilot after noticing many online sellers price products using incomplete marketplace calculators or spreadsheets.
Most tools show platform fees but ignore advertising costs, returns, taxes, and target profit planning — which means sellers often discover real profit only after listing.
ProfitPilot focuses on pre-listing decisions: • calculate true profit and margin • reverse pricing from target profit • test multiple pricing scenarios quickly
It’s intentionally simple and platform-independent.
Would really appreciate feedback — especially from anyone selling online or working in ecommerce tooling.

LanceCalc – Open-source freelance platform fee calculator
Reverse fee calculation and support for tiered fee structures (including PeoplePerHour returning-client/lifetime thresholds) are practical touches you actually use when pricing gigs. It runs entirely in-browser with no data collection, which is a clear privacy win; the downside is the space is crowded and the extension needs ongoing updates as platforms change fees (withdrawal fees are explicitly missing).
