See the Buy Box in every US state

The Amazon Buy Box isn't the same everywhere — the winner can change from state to state based on delivery. Buy Box by State scans a listing across the US and shows you exactly who owns the Buy Box where, and at what price.

Your Amazon US listing

Buy Box, state by state

Buy Box by State lives on the Products page: open any Amazon US item, and pick the Buy Box by State tab in its detail drawer. Run a scan and, about a minute later, you get a color-coded US map, a winners leaderboard and a per-state breakdown — powered by live Buy Box data.

Why it's useful

Frequently asked

Which listings can I scan?

Amazon US listings with an ASIN. The tab appears on every Amazon US item's detail drawer on the Products page.

How long does a scan take?

A full 51-state scan usually completes in about a minute — sometimes a couple of minutes under load. It runs in the background, so you can close the drawer and come back.

Is the data live?

Yes — each state is fetched live at scan time, so it reflects the current Buy Box rather than a stored snapshot.

What does it cost?

1 credit per state, billed only when a state returns a result — a full scan is 51 credits. Some plans include unlimited scans. See Scan credits & billing.
