Published: January 2025
With thousands of products to choose from, how do you identify the best opportunities? Our Opportunity Score Calculator evaluates products across multiple dimensions to help you find winners.
What is Opportunity Score?
Opportunity Score is a 0-100 rating that evaluates product potential based on:
- Profitability (40%): Profit margins and ROI
- Competition (30%): BSR, competitor count, reviews
- Sales (20%): Monthly sales volume and trends
- Seasonality (10%): Demand patterns
Higher scores indicate better opportunities.
Understanding Scores
80-100 (Excellent): High profit, low competition, good sales, stable demand
65-79 (Good): Decent profit, moderate competition, acceptable sales
50-64 (Fair): Lower profit, higher competition, moderate sales
Below 50 (Poor): Low profit, high competition, low sales
