Aura's pricing is structured around SKU count and feature tiers. eBay is supported but Amazon is where the engine is most mature; check current tiers at goaura.com.

Why sellers switch

Three reasons.

01Two different ways to win

Findability vs. pricing — they're not competing tools.

Aura's bet is that the most important variable in a marketplace listing is price — undercut the field, win the Buy Box (Amazon) or sort-by-price visibility (eBay). ListTune's bet is that on eBay specifically, findability outranks price for most non-commodity categories: if buyers don't find your listing, your price doesn't matter. Both bets can be right — they apply to different inventory.

02eBay-native, not bolted on

Built for how eBay's algorithm actually works.

Aura's heritage is Amazon. eBay support is real but secondary — repricing logic that worked for Buy Box dynamics doesn't always map cleanly to eBay's Best Match algorithm, which weights item specifics, listing freshness, seller standing, and title relevance heavily. ListTune was built eBay-first against eBay's API — item specifics graph, Top Rated mechanics, category-required fields are all native concepts.

I used Aura on Amazon and it earned its keep there. On eBay I switched to ListTune because the lever that mattered for me was getting the listing seen at all — not racing to the bottom on price.

03Listing content is the moat

Aura can't edit a title. ListTune does that for a living.

A repricer adjusts a number. It doesn't rewrite your title to lead with the search terms buyers actually use, it doesn't fill in 27 missing item specifics that eBay's algorithm now requires, it doesn't restructure a description for mobile. Those are the levers that change whether a listing appears in search results — and they're permanent improvements, not a price-war race that resets every hour.

Migration

From Aura in 5 min.

01≈ 2 minutes

Connect ListTune to eBay directly

ListTune connects via eBay OAuth — no Aura dependency. If you're keeping Aura for repricing on Amazon (or eBay), nothing has to change there; the two tools operate on different fields and won't conflict.

02≈ 90 seconds

Pull your eBay listings

We import your active listings, drafts, and templates directly from eBay. You'll see titles, descriptions, item specifics, and condition notes laid out side-by-side with proposed changes.

03≈ 4 minutes for 100 listings

Pick a batch and run

Free tier covers your first 25 listings. Titles, specifics, descriptions get a full AI pass. Aura keeps adjusting your prices in parallel — the two layers compound (better-priced listing that's also findable).

Questions

The Aura-specific stuff.

Different from our general FAQ on /pricing.

Yes, but as a secondary channel — Aura's engine, documentation, and onboarding are Amazon-first. eBay repricing works, especially for high-velocity commodity inventory where price is the dominant variable. For non-commodity categories where buyers compare on specifics and seller trust before price, repricing alone often isn't the lever you need.

Listing content — the actual title, item specifics, description, and condition notes. ListTune rewrites titles to lead with the keywords eBay shoppers search, fills in missing item specifics (which eBay's algorithm increasingly requires for visibility), and modernizes descriptions for mobile readability. Aura doesn't touch any of that; it only adjusts the price.

No — and we don't plan to. Repricing is its own category, with mature competitors (Aura, RepricerExpress, Informed.co) doing it well. Our deliberate scope is everything in the listing except the price: title, item specifics, description, condition notes, photos. If you need repricing, keep using Aura or pick a dedicated repricer; the two tools compose without conflict.

Aura's Starter tier is $97/month. ListTune Free is $0/month (25 credits), Starter is $19/mo (250 credits), Pro is $39/mo (1,000 credits), and Business is $99/mo (5,000 credits). For most eBay-focused sellers, ListTune comes in below Aura's entry tier — and the free tier is genuinely usable for evaluating fit.

If you sell heavily on Amazon, almost certainly yes — Aura is doing a job ListTune doesn't even attempt. If you sell primarily on eBay, it depends on your inventory: commodity items where price is the main differentiator benefit from a repricer, while differentiated or used inventory benefits more from listing quality (where the buyer is comparing your photos and specifics, not your price against an identical listing). Many sellers run both; they don't overlap.

Not at all. ListTune only edits listing content (title, specifics, description) — it doesn't touch your prices, sales data, or feedback. Your Aura subscription, repricing rules, and price history stay exactly as they are. Migration is one-way: ListTune connects to eBay, not to Aura.
