Short answer

Epinium vs Scale Insights: the short answer

Scale Insights is a rules-based Amazon PPC automation tool from a Singapore company, built for FBA private-label sellers on Seller Central and the agencies that run their accounts. You stack its 11 algorithms (bidding, keyword harvesting, negatives, dayparting with hourly bid modifiers, budgets, placements) on your existing ad groups, preview them and let them run daily; bidding rules can read 365 days of data and use organic rank and Search Query Performance as triggers. Its MCP (beta) edits bids, budgets and negatives from Claude or ChatGPT only after you approve, and can undo them. Pricing is per automated ASIN per marketplace: $78/month for 5 up to $688 for 100, then a 1% of ad spend plan on request. Epinium is a European platform that runs advertising, listings, catalogue, stock and P&L in one place, for Seller and Vendor Central, in five interface languages. Pick Scale Insights for deep, inexpensive Sponsored Ads rules on a small catalogue; pick Epinium for wide EU catalogues, Vendor accounts and the work beyond the ads.

Last updated:

Choose Scale Insights if…

  • You automate a handful of ASINs in one marketplace: its per-ASIN plans start at $78 a month and do not rise with ad spend.
  • You want fine-grained, stackable Sponsored Ads rules: 11 algorithms on your existing ad groups, 365 days of data behind each bid, and organic rank and SQP as triggers.
  • You are an FBA seller who wants PPC automation, a seller P&L and restock forecasts in one inexpensive English-language tool.

Choose Epinium if…

  • You run more than the ads: listings (every Amazon field, checked against Amazon’s rules), catalogue, stock and a P&L to contribution margin, with your Shopify or WooCommerce store next to Amazon.
  • You sell through Vendor Central, or through both: Epinium connects Seller and Vendor Central, and Scale Insights does not document Vendor support.
  • You want a European vendor: a Spanish company with data hosted in the EU under GDPR and a data processing agreement, and an interface in five languages.
  • Your catalogue is wide: Epinium does not price by product (Business is €349 a month + 3% of the ad spend its AI manages), while Scale Insights counts every ASIN again in every marketplace, so 20 products in 5 EU marketplaces is already its $688 tier.

We have not used Scale Insights ourselves, so nothing below is our opinion: every point names the third party that reported it and links to it.

Where each one wins

Deeper PPC rules there, a wider operation here.

On Sponsored Ads rules Scale Insights goes further than Epinium today: 11 stackable algorithms, 365 days of data for bids, and organic rank and Search Query Performance as triggers. Epinium's edge is breadth and fit for European brands: listings, catalogue, stock and P&L in the same platform, Vendor Central, a European company with data in the EU, and a price that does not count your ASINs.

Your approval, or an autonomy mode

Changes can wait as tasks for your approval, or an autonomy mode (Maintenance, Growth, Expansion, Custom) applies them; new campaigns start paused, and every change is logged for 12 months with its old and new value, and can be undone. Scale Insights works the other way round: you can preview a rule, then it runs on its own, while MCP and Scale Optimizer changes need your approval and can be undone.

Profit to contribution margin

Both show a P&L with product cost. Scale Insights covers sales with dated COGS, EU VAT and refunds, plus restock forecasts. Epinium's Profitability module takes each product down to contribution margin with fees, advertising by type and product cost, next to the ads, listings and stock it works on.

Listings written for Rufus (GEO)

Epinium generates and audits listings with AI against Amazon's rules, written for shoppers and for AI assistants like Rufus. Scale Insights has no listing tool: an MCP skill drafts title and bullet rewrites inside your assistant, and nothing is pushed to Amazon.

Built for Amazon EU

An interface in English, Spanish, Italian, German and French, and 23 Amazon ad marketplaces, the US included. Scale Insights supports UK, DE, FR, IT, ES and NL among its 12 marketplaces, in English only, and counts each ASIN again in every marketplace you automate.

Seller and Vendor Central

Epinium connects Seller Central (3P) and Vendor Central (1P). Scale Insights needs one account per Seller Central account and, asked in its FAQ whether it is for Vendors, only says it is best for FBA sellers: Vendor support is not documented.

European data, GDPR-native

Hosted in the EU (AWS Ireland) under GDPR, with a data processing agreement, and no training on your data without consent. Scale Insights is a Singapore company under Singapore law; its privacy policy does not say where data is hosted and does not mention GDPR.

How the difference shows up

Beyond PPC rules: one platform for the whole Amazon EU operation.

Scale Insights is built to automate Sponsored Ads with rules you configure, and it does that in depth. Epinium covers the ads with AI at the control level you choose and keeps going: listings, catalogue, stock and profit, with your own store next to Amazon.

Profit per product, and a price that does not count ASINs

  • Profitability: your P&L to contribution marginRevenue, fees, advertising by type and product cost down to each product's contribution margin (product cost and margin from Business), in the same platform that runs the ads and the listings.
  • Where Scale Insights is strongIts P&L handles dated COGS, EU VAT and refunds, and it adds restock forecasts and rank tracking with 30 keywords included. If a seller P&L next to PPC rules is all you need, it covers that well.
  • Priced by spend, not by catalogueEpinium Business is €349 a month plus 3% of the ad spend its AI manages, and it does not count products. Scale Insights charges per automated ASIN per marketplace: 20 products in 5 EU marketplaces is 100 automated ASINs, its $688 tier, and above 100 you move to a 1% of spend plan whose minimum is not published. For a few ASINs in one marketplace, Scale Insights costs less.

Frequently asked questions

Is Scale Insights better than Epinium for PPC automation?

On rule depth, yes, and we say so: Scale Insights stacks 11 algorithms, lets bidding rules read 365 days of data and uses organic rank and Search Query Performance as triggers. Epinium manages Sponsored Products, Brands and Display with bids moved daily or by the hour, and adds placement bid adjustments and monthly budget pacing per portfolio. Epinium's case is everything around the ads: listings, catalogue, stock, P&L, Vendor Central and a European setup.

Can I undo changes in Epinium the way Scale Insights does?

Yes. In Epinium every change is logged for 12 months with its old and new value and can be undone, workflows can be previewed before they run, changes can wait as tasks for your approval and new campaigns start paused. Scale Insights' MCP previews every write, applies it on approval and can undo bid, budget and negative changes, and its app can bulk-revert rule-made bid and status changes.

How much does Scale Insights cost for a European catalogue?

It charges per automated ASIN per marketplace, from $78/month for 5 up to $688 for 100, and each marketplace counts the ASIN again. 20 products in 5 EU marketplaces is 100 automated ASINs, so $688/month; above 100 it offers a 1% of ad spend plan on request, with no published minimum. Epinium Business is €349/month plus 3% of the ad spend its AI manages, and it does not price by product.

Does Scale Insights work with Vendor Central?

It does not document it. Its FAQ answers whether it is for FBA, FBM or Vendors only by saying it is best for FBA sellers, and each Seller Central account needs its own Scale Insights account. Epinium connects both Seller Central (3P) and Vendor Central (1P).

Can I use Epinium from Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Epinium is in the ChatGPT app directory and connects to Claude through its MCP, plus a public REST API. It reads on every plan, the free Brain plan included, and on Business it writes SP, SB and SD campaigns, workflows, portfolios, tasks, listings from a spreadsheet and Shopify or WooCommerce products, with the scopes you grant. Scale Insights also has an MCP (beta) for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor that edits bids, budgets and negatives after approval.

Where is my data with each one?

Epinium is hosted in the EU (AWS Ireland) under GDPR, with a data processing agreement. Scale Insights is a Singapore company under Singapore law; its terms and privacy policy mention a major database provider without naming the region, and GDPR is not mentioned.

How much does Scale Insights cost compared with Epinium?

Scale Insights: $78/mo for 5 automated ASINs to $688 for 100; 1% Plan on request. Epinium publishes its pricing: Guru from €159/mo, Business €349 and Master €799 — published, not quoted on request. Business and Master also carry an advertising commission of 3% for new customers, charged only on the ad spend Epinium manages. You can start free with no credit card. Full detail on Epinium pricing. Competitor data verified on 7 November 2026 from public sources.

Is there a European alternative to Scale Insights?

Yes: Epinium. Scale Insights — Scale Insights Pte Ltd, Singapore; CEO Luke Lim; no funding disclosed. Epinium is a Spanish company, independent since 2015, with data hosted in the EU (AWS Ireland) under GDPR and a data processing agreement, built for Amazon EU (Spain, Italy, Germany, France and the UK) with the interface in five European languages and keyword suggestions per marketplace.

Does Scale Insights optimise listings for Rufus and AI shopping assistants?

No Rufus optimisation documented; an MCP skill drafts listing rewrites, not pushed to Amazon. Epinium generates and audits your listings with AI against Amazon’s rules, written for the shopper and for AI assistants like Rufus (GEO); see GEO / AI search. To be precise: Epinium writes for that surface, but it does not measure or score your visibility inside Rufus.
