🎓

A–F Niche Grade

One clear verdict on whether a niche is worth entering — blending demand, competition and how reachable the entry bar is.

🧭

Strategy Coach

Plain-English guidance for newcomers: target reviews, price band (or Kindle Unlimited strategy), the rating to hold, and a clear "enter or avoid" call.

🎯

Competitor & Rival Scores

Every book scored for how beatable it is. The soft targets rise to the top of a sortable, filterable table.

📈

Crowdsourced rank and price history on books over time — trend data a single page view can't show you.

Why authors use it

Stop writing into a wall

The #1 mistake new authors make is picking a niche that's already saturated. KDP Sentinel shows you the real competition before you spend months writing.

Honest, not hyped

Review counts, ratings and competition are real Amazon data. Sales figures are clearly labelled as rough models — we show ranges, never fake precision.

Know exactly what to aim for

Not just numbers — concrete targets: how many reviews to get visible, which price or KU strategy, which sub-category to rank in.

Private and free

No account, no sign-up, no tracking. It reads only the pages you open — it never crawls or runs in the background.

Private by design

KDP Sentinel only reads pages you deliberately open — it never crawls, opens tabs, or runs background requests. It needs no account and stores no browsing history.

You can optionally contribute anonymous public book facts (rank, price, rating, review count) to build the shared trend data that benefits everyone. It's off by default, contains no personal data, and you can turn it off anytime. See our privacy policy and terms of use.

Research smarter. Publish with confidence.

Completely free — no account, no sign-up, no catch.
