L’ère des roll-ups
210 M$
le deal qui a enterré tout un portefeuille
Entre 2022 et 2025, des roll-ups logiciels (surtout Carbon6 et Threecolts) ont racheté une grande partie de l’écosystème indépendant des outils vendeurs. Après le rachat de Carbon6 par SPS Commerce début 2025 pour environ 210 M$, la plupart des marques acquises ont été retirées en moins d’un an.

annonces de fermeture pour la plupart de ces morts
La plupart des outils n’annoncent jamais leur fermeture. Le schéma habituel : le blog se tait, le paiement casse, puis un jour le domaine redirige en silence vers la page de l’acquéreur. C’est pourquoi chaque tombe renvoie à une preuve : annonce, presse ou capture archivée.
Ce que ça change pour votre stack

de ces morts suivent un changement de propriétaire
Une part frappante de ces outils est morte dans les années suivant un changement de propriétaire. Si un outil dont vous dépendez est racheté : prudence sur les plans annuels, exportez vos données tôt et préparez un remplaçant.
Chaque outil ci-dessous était un vrai produit que de vrais vendeurs payaient. Trié par année de décès, tombes les plus récentes en premier.
2016 - janv. 2026 · mort à 10 ans
“Went down with the Viral Launch ship.”
Viral Launch's free listing split-testing tool let sellers rotate prices, titles, and images since 2016. It survived right up to the end: still archived in November 2025, dead when Viral Launch closed in January 2026. The domain now redirects to Intellifox.
2014 - janv. 2026 · mort à 12 ans
“One of the giants. It closed with a note on its homepage.”
Casey Gauss's Indianapolis launch-and-research platform grew into one of the best-known names in Amazon software. Acquired by Worldeye Technologies in January 2023, it announced in early January 2026 that it had 'officially closed its operations'; the domain now funnels visitors to sister product Intellifox.
2026 · année de création non vérifiée
“Sold trials in January. Gone by summer. No note.”
An all-in-one analytics suite covering sales, keywords, inventory, and feedback. Its site was still selling free trials on January 22, 2026, the last archived capture, but months later the app host serves nothing and the www domain no longer resolves. No closure notice was ever published.
2021 - 2026 · mort à 5 ans
“The brand died; the database moved in with Tactical Arbitrage.”
Ex-Amazonian Justin Maner's Walmart product-research tool: sales estimates, keyword data, and a 14M-product database. Threecolts acquired it around the turn of 2024, piped the data into Tactical Arbitrage, and kept the brand alive until late 2025. Today dataspark.co dumps straight to the Threecolts homepage.
2017 - 2026 · mort à 9 ans
“Became a line item in a $210M deal.”
An FBA reimbursement service built in 2017 that became Carbon6's flagship recovery product. When SPS Commerce completed its roughly $210M acquisition of Carbon6 in February 2025, the brand was folded into 'SPS Commerce Revenue Recovery'; by mid-2026 the domain redirected outright to the SPS product page.
2015 - 2026 · mort à 11 ans
“Still advertising a $97 plan the funnels can no longer sell.”
Peter Valley's online book-arbitrage tool, launched in 2015 and sold to Carbon6 in January 2022 with about $1.1M in annual revenue. After Carbon6 was absorbed by SPS Commerce, this niche tool fell outside the roadmap: the homepage still pitches $97/month, but the signup funnels rot: the free-trial path lands on an empty placeholder page. Valley moved on, launching the repricer NeuroPrice in 2023.
2017 - juil. 2025 · mort à 8 ans
“Sunset itself with a notice, served behind an expired SSL certificate.”
Troy Johnston's optimization suite was known for exact Amazon keyword data, listing optimization, and launch tooling. On July 17, 2025 it posted a plain on-site sunset notice; a year later the notice is still up, now behind an expired certificate.
2017 - 2025 · mort à 8 ans
“The app still runs; there's just no way to pay.”
A desktop-app product research tool that once claimed 4,000 new sellers joining every month. The marketing site collapsed into a bare 'Web Server's Default Page' around May 2025. Yet the desktop app still installs and runs, with no working way left to subscribe. A textbook zombie.
2017 - 2025 · mort à 8 ans
“The alerts tool that went silent without one.”
A 24/7 listing-monitoring service (hijacker alerts, suppressed listings, buy-box and review warnings), online since 2017. Between late March and June 2025 the site went from full marketing pages to a completely blank response, and no shutdown notice was ever posted.
2021 - 2025 · mort à 4 ans
“Bought in August 2024, sunset within a year, domain parked by October.”
A Washington, DC analytics startup whose GPT-powered assistant answered profit questions in plain English. Carbon6 acquired it in August 2024; when SPS Commerce swallowed Carbon6 months later, Junglytics was quietly sunset. By October 2025 the domain was a parking page, without so much as a goodbye post.
2017 - 2025 · mort à 8 ans
“Sold for $753K, renamed twice, then went dark.”
A bootstrapped French startup that turned link shorteners into Amazon attribution. Founder Tom Benattar published the deal terms openly when Carbon6 acquired it in October 2021 for $753,000, about 2.69 times its annual revenue. Under SPS Commerce it was renamed 'SPS Ad Performance', and pixelme.me stopped serving entirely by late summer 2025.
2016 - 2025 · mort à 9 ans
“Absorbed twice, then quietly switched off.”
Mike Zagare's PPC automation suite priced itself at 2.9% of ad spend in its final era. Carbon6 acquired it in August 2022; SPS Commerce acquired Carbon6 in early 2025 and folded the product into the sales-led 'SPS Ad Performance'. The PPC Entourage name disappeared and new self-serve signups broke.
2020 - 2025 · mort à 5 ans
“Retired into its parent's membership pitch.”
A '20 tools in 1' research suite from Amazing.com, the Amazing Selling Machine organization. Live from August 2020, it was retired between April and June 2025; zoof.com is now an instant redirect to an Amazing.com landing page selling the parent's membership.
2017 - 2024 · mort à 7 ans
“Stopped resolving. Nobody said a word.”
A freemium product-research tool with a live Amazon scanner and keyword tracking, launched in 2017. It never announced anything: the last real homepage was archived on November 25, 2024, and afterwards the domain simply stopped resolving, while its affiliate-program subdomain kept running into 2026.
2015 - 2023 · mort à 8 ans
“The proudly slow keyword tool, finally stopped.”
A free Amazon keyword tool that marketed itself as the world's slowest keyword tool, slow because it mined live buyer data. Run by Las Vegas incubator Velluto since 2015, it served its last results in mid-2023; the domain now carries only its farewell note.
2014 - juin 2022 · mort à 8 ans
“The original reverse-ASIN lookup, now a for-sale sign.”
Created in 2014, Keyword Inspector branded itself 'The Original Reverse ASIN Lookup' and claimed a 47-million-keyword database. The working tool was last archived in May 2022; today the domain redirects to a domain-for-sale listing.
2014 - avr. 2022 · mort à 8 ans
“Berlin's Amazon suite, merged into Perpetua. Sonar died with it.”
Founded in Berlin in 2014 as Marketplace Analytics, Sellics grew to roughly 90 people and one of Europe's best-known Amazon suites. Ascential acquired it in April 2022 and merged it into Perpetua; sellics.com now redirects there. Its beloved free keyword tool, Sonar, was quietly retired after the migration; Perpetua's page today just says the feature is no longer available.
sept. 2021 · année de création non vérifiée
“Folded into the mothership, mourned on the forums.”
Profit analytics 'from the makers of Jungle Scout.' When Jungle Scout consolidated its side products on September 15, 2021, Fetcher was switched off; long-time users complained on Amazon's own seller forums that the forced migration cost more and did less.
sept. 2021 · année de création non vérifiée
“Sunset in Jungle Scout's 2021 house-cleaning.”
An algorithmic A/B testing tool for Amazon prices and listings from the Jungle Scout family. Jungle Scout sunset Splitly, Fetcher, and Forecastly together on September 15, 2021; the domain still serves the sunset notice today.
2020 · année de création non vérifiée
“Pivoted to PPC Ninja; the suite never returned.”
Bernie Thompson built Efficient Era out of the internal tooling that ran his hardware brand Plugable: review automation, alerts, analytics, and ads. The company pivoted into PPC Ninja rather than selling: by November 2020 the domain redirected there, and today it does not resolve at all.
