AI listing tools
PalmFlow vs SellHound
These aren't really the same category — SellHound writes listing copy, PalmFlow runs the operation behind it. People compare them anyway, so here's the honest version, including the two things SellHound does that we don't do at all.
The bottom lineSellHound is a writing tool that charges by the listing. That's cheap under about 20 items a month and expensive above it — 50 listings runs roughly $118 against $19.99 here. It doesn't post the listing, doesn't track the item, and doesn't do your books, so it sits next to whatever else you're paying for rather than replacing any of it. Their free Fetch Engine for sold comps is genuinely better than anything we have, and it's worth using whichever tool you pick.
| Feature | SellHound | PalmFlow |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI listing-copy generator with human review | Inventory, marketplace sync and bookkeeping in one tool |
| Pricing model | Pay per listing — roughly $2.25–$2.50 each | Flat monthly — $0, $19.99 or $39.99 |
| What 50 listings a month costs | About $118 as a 50-pack, or $67.50 on the 30/mo plan | $19.99 Pro — and that covers 500 active items, not 50 listings |
| Free tier | 7 free listings, plus the Fetch Engine price lookup free and unlimited | $0/mo forever · 50 active items, no card |
| Actually posts a listing | No — it writes the copy and you paste it into each marketplace yourself | Yes — posts and syncs to eBay, and pushes title, price and photo edits back out |
| Crosslisting — one listing to many marketplaces | No — historically partnered with Vendoo for it | No — neither tool does this |
| Sold-comp price lookup | Yes — the Fetch Engine, free and unlimited, and genuinely useful when sourcing | No. Nothing in PalmFlow reads a sold comp |
| AI listing copy | Human-reviewed, which catches things pure AI misses on vintage and hard-to-ID items | AI-generated for eBay, no human in the loop |
| Tracks an item at all | No — it's a copy generator, nothing persists | Yes — bin locations, cost, photos, per-item timeline from the day you buy it |
| Cost basis, P&L and tax reports | No | Per-item cost basis, full P&L, tax reports |
| On your phone | Native iOS and Android apps, and the workflow is built around them | Web app on any device, installable to your home screen |
| More than one person | No | 2 users on Pro; roles, permissions and teams on Ultra |
| Is it open for business | Relaunching — the homepage shows a waitlist, legacy apps still work | Live, and anyone can sign up today |
Choose SellHound if…
- You want help writing listings and nothing else. SellHound's human-reviewed copy beats pure AI on vintage, designer and hard-to-identify items, and that's a real edge over what we generate.
- You're sourcing with the free Fetch Engine. Use it — it's free, it's unlimited, and it's better than anything we have for checking a sold price before you buy. We don't do comps at all.
- You list under about 20 items a month. At $2.25 a listing that's genuinely cheaper than any subscription, ours included.
- You never want to open a laptop. Their iOS and Android apps are the real thing; ours installs to your home screen from the browser, which is close but not the same.
Choose PalmFlow if…
- You list more than about 30 items a month. Pay-per-listing turns on you fast — 50 listings is roughly $118, against $19.99 here for 500 active items.
- You want the listing to actually go live. SellHound writes copy for you to paste in yourself; PalmFlow posts to eBay and pushes later edits back out to the live listing.
- You need a record, not a document. Nothing persists in a copy generator — no cost basis, no P&L, no history of what you paid or how long it sat.
- You want to run a business rather than write about one. Inventory with bin locations, per-status SLA, barcode scanning and an audit trail are the product here.
- You want a tool that's definitely open. SellHound is mid-relaunch behind a waitlist; you can sign up here today.
