Etsy hides its search data. eRank rebuilt it from millions of shops and handed sellers the map — free, then paid.
Will it work? · our read
On rented land. eRank turned Etsy's data blackout into a 2.5M-seller freemium funnel. Its moat is the aggregated keyword dataset plus Etsy-forum mindshare — but Etsy owns the pipe.

eRank — About: founder Anthony Wolf, built for his wife's Etsy shop, launched as EtsyRank Jan 2016eRank — Plans & pricing: Free / $5.99 / $9.99 / $29.99 per monthGetLatka — eRank revenue est. $2.6M ARR, self-funded (third-party estimate)eRank Help — Etsy's native Marketplace Insights (platform-risk context)EcommerceBytes (Nov 2025) — Etsy 'search invisibility' seller revolt
Revenue ($2.6M ARR) is a GetLatka third-party estimate, not first-party — and Latka has documented accuracy issues — so it is marked EST / not independently confirmed. The 2.5M+ figure is eRank's own site (first-party) but counts cumulative registered sellers, not payers; against about $2.6M revenue that implies well under 1% pay — labeled our read. Team size (about 22) comes from data-aggregator profiles, not eRank. Founder origin (built for his wife's shop, launched as EtsyRank Jan 2016), pricing, and Etsy's native Marketplace Insights are first-party / well-documented. No drama invented; the 'free-tier-as-wedge' strategy is our read, not a founder quote. We never score you.
