ProfitTree Chrome Extension (2026): What Etsy Radar Shows and What It Costs

The ProfitTree Chrome extension is free to install and does four jobs on Etsy: the Etsy Radar research panel, Etsy Ads sync with TACoS, an ad spend exporter, and a price calculator. It is also the only way to get Etsy Ads data into ProfitTree, so anyone using the profit tracker for ads needs it, and the $0 plan works with it.

Skip it if you research on a phone, want one overlay that also reads Amazon or Shopify, or only need product research and already run a rival overlay. It holds 3.9 stars from 42 store ratings, against EverBee's 4.7 from 393. My full ProfitTree review rates the whole platform; this page sticks to the extension.

What ProfitTree Is, and What the Extension Adds

ProfitTree is an Etsy-only seller tool built around true profit: it reads your Etsy ledger, subtracts fees, ad spend, and product costs per listing, then layers on product research, competitor tracking, and a Rupert AI assistant. It claims 80,000+ sellers and holds 4.0 on Trustpilot from 18 reviews. The extension is the browser half of that system.

The web app does the accounting. The extension does two things the web app cannot: it draws research data onto Etsy pages, and it carries the Sync button that pushes your Etsy Ads data into ProfitTree's Advertisement Report. ProfitTree's help center is explicit that the Sync button lives in the extension, not the web app, and that the report needs the extension at all.

Etsy Radar: Research Data on Etsy Pages

Etsy Radar overlays a data panel on Etsy search results and on individual listing pages. On a results page you click Open Radar at the top right, or the Etsy Radar button at the bottom right, then pick the Products or Shops tab. ProfitTree's help center says Radar and the web app's Product Finder show the same data: one database, two doors.

Operator scenario: Say you search "personalized wish book" and open Radar. The header shows the niche score, the share of listings running ads, and the share that are best sellers. Sort the Products tab by monthly revenue, then read listing age. A row that is 3 months old and already logging 365 sales a month is the one to study, not the 21-month veteran with more total revenue.

Per listing, the help center and the store screenshot list estimated monthly sales, monthly revenue, total revenue, views, listing age, conversion rate, a visibility score out of 100, average order value, favorites, and tags. The Shops tab aggregates total sales, demand ratio, views, listings with ads, best sellers, and shop age for the sellers behind your search.

How to Read the Demand Badges

The demand badges arrived in a December 2025 update, and a June 2026 ProfitTree blog post spells out the thresholds behind them. Est. Demand pairs an add-to-carts count with recent views, and a separate sold-in-the-last-24-hours figure tracks velocity. These are ProfitTree's own cutoffs, so treat the table below as the vendor's reading guide.

The formula behind the numbers is not published; ProfitTree describes Niche Score only as competitiveness based on the volume and strength of existing listings. Its own help center calls Radar a tool for discovery and validation, not final decision-making, and sellers in a May 2025 r/EtsySellers thread called third-party sales estimates "educated guessing" across all of these tools. Cross-check any hot Radar row against the listing's public review count, which is a hard number, before you build a product on it.

Etsy Ads Sync and TACoS

The extension is the only route for Etsy Ads data into ProfitTree. Once synced, the Advertisement Report shows ad spend, TACoS (ad spend divided by total sales, paid plus organic), and a per-listing split of ad revenue from the listing, ad revenue from other listings, and organic revenue. Only data from yesterday backwards appears; today is excluded because a full day of spend is required.

The sync procedure, per ProfitTree's help center:

1. Connect your Etsy shop inside ProfitTree and let the initial data sync finish.
2. In Chrome, log in to the same Etsy account you are analyzing.
3. Toggle to the matching shop inside ProfitTree.
4. Open the extension and click Sync. A confirmation message appears when it works; later the popup shows either "All synced" or a resync prompt.

Two mismatch warnings from the same help center. Ad data arrives in USD only, whatever currency your shop uses. And totals will not match Etsy's Marketing tab to the cent: Etsy shows spend when clicks happen, ProfitTree shows charges once they hit your payment ledger, and ProfitTree's total includes Offsite Ads at 12% (charged only when a sale lands), which the Marketing tab's daily onsite figure leaves out.

Operator scenario: Say a listing's pre-ad margin is 40% and you want to keep 20% after ads. Your target TACoS is 20%. Set a 90-day window: a listing at 36% TACoS on a 58% pre-ad margin still nets about 22%, so it stays on. Another at a 48% margin that nets only 8% gets paused. If TACoS was 22% one quarter and jumps sharply the next, the listing is fading; move the budget.

Ad Spend Exporter and Price Calculator

The extension popup has two more tabs. Ad Metrics holds Download Your Ad Spend Report with a period selector (the store shot shows Last 30 Days) next to the Sync Now button. Pricing Calculator turns a price, a product cost, and a shipping cost into profit per unit and total profit across quantity tiers, and both tabs export a CSV.

Operator scenario: Say your accountant wants ad costs for the month. Set the period to Last 30 Days, download, and hand over a sheet with impressions, clicks, total cost, conversions, revenue, click rate, and ROAS per listing. Read ROAS against break-even: ProfitTree's setup guide uses 1.25, meaning $1 of ad spend needs $1.25 of revenue just to avoid a loss.

The calculator's store screenshot models a $19.99 tee with a $10.99 product cost and $4.99 shipping at $5.03 profit on a single unit and $546.56 across 100. Run your own numbers the same way, then bump the price by $2 and watch profit per unit move. For the fee lines behind that figure, our Etsy fee breakdown calculator itemizes the $0.20 listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% plus $0.25 US processing.

How to Install It and Run Radar the First Time

Installing takes three clicks on the store page and no card. The current build is version 2.1.3, released August 6 and 839KiB in size. Anything synced needs a ProfitTree login, and the ProfitTree free tier qualifies. Here is the full first run, from the store page to your first Radar panel.

1. Create a free ProfitTree account at profittree.io. No card is requested on the $0 plan.
2. Open the Chrome Web Store, find "ProfitTree Etsy Seller Assistant" (offered by ProfitTree), click Add to Chrome, then Add extension.
3. Log in to Etsy in at least one tab. The listing names this as a requirement.
4. Pin the extension via Chrome's puzzle-piece icon and sign in to your ProfitTree account inside the popup; the Ad Metrics tab shows "Logged in as" plus a Change account link.
5. Run any Etsy search and click Open Radar at the top right, or the Etsy Radar button at the bottom right. Switch between Products and Shops.
6. Open a single listing: the Radar panel loads automatically at the bottom of the page.
7. For ads, connect your shop in the web app first, wait for the initial sync, then run the four sync steps above.

Product costs, SKUs, and the Printify or Printful connection all live in the web app; my ProfitTree setup guide covers that side step by step, including the 12-hour ledger sync.

Free vs Paid: What the Extension Shows on Each Plan

The extension itself never charges. Your ProfitTree plan decides how deep the data goes, and the plan ladder is mostly a data-window ladder. Free costs $0 and includes the basic product and shop finder, basic competitor tracking, advertisement insights, a 7-day profit history, one shop, and 200 AI credits a week.

Because Radar and Product Finder share one dataset, expect the panel to follow the same ladder: the demand badge, visibility score, and conversion rate columns sit under Growth on the pricing page, and all-time listing metrics under Pro. Every tier below Pro is one shop; Pro is unlimited. Full plan details, including the early access banner that warns prices may rise, are on my ProfitTree plans and prices page.

If you would rather pay once, lifetime access to ProfitTree costs $67 and includes the Radar panel ("see listing and shop metrics at a glance as you browse Etsy"), 30-day performance metrics, one shop, and 200 AI credits a week. Product and listing reports are excluded, and the refund window is 5 days.

The Freeze and RAM Complaints, and What I Would Do About Them

Two dated complaints target the extension specifically. In January 2026 an r/printondemand commenter who bought the $67 lifetime plan on a YouTuber's recommendation reported that Chrome "completely locked up" repeatedly when opening Radar, and that support said it was not their problem. In January 2026 a Trustpilot 1-star review said the extension "gobbles RAM".

Two reports against 42 ratings is a small sample, but they describe the same symptom in the same month, so I take it seriously. The install is small at 839KiB; the load comes from what the panel fetches. The store shot itself shows a "Fetching more listings" state, so a Radar panel keeps pulling rows after it opens. My mitigation list:

• One panel at a time. Close Radar with the X before you run the next search. Several open panels multiply the fetch load.
• Turn off rival overlays while Radar runs. EverBee, Alura, and eRank extensions all inject tables into the same Etsy page; three at once is a classic freeze recipe.
• Watch Chrome's Task Manager. Shift + Esc on Windows, or the Window menu on a Mac, shows the extension's memory line. If it climbs, reload the tab before Chrome locks.
• Fall back to Product Finder. ProfitTree says Radar and Product Finder show the same data, so heavy research sessions can run in the web app with no overlay at all.
• Report it with specifics. Email [email protected] with your Chrome version and the search that froze; the store listing also gives [email protected].

Privacy and Permissions in Plain English

The store listing's privacy section says the extension handles website content and declares that data is not sold to third parties, not used for purposes unrelated to its core function, and not used to judge creditworthiness. It needs an Etsy tab that is logged in, because it reads Etsy pages to draw Radar and matches your Etsy account to sync ads.

• Two entities, both real. The Chrome Web Store developer of record is Jose Luis Franconetti Olmedo in Moron de la Frontera, Sevilla, Spain, with an EU trader declaration. The company behind the app is ProfitTree Ltd, Paphos, Cyprus, registration HE 455602.
• Etsy API, not endorsed by Etsy. The listing states the app uses Etsy's API and is not endorsed or certified by Etsy. ProfitTree's help center says your Etsy data stays yours and is never sold or shared.
• No Featured badge. Unlike EverBee's listing, ProfitTree's shows no Featured mark from Google's store team. Its trust signals are the trader disclosure, the August 2026 update, and 10,000 users.
• Uninstalling does not cancel billing. Remove the extension from chrome://extensions any time; subscriptions cancel separately, and monthly payments are non-refundable.

ProfitTree vs EverBee, Alura, and eRank Extensions

ProfitTree's store numbers trail every rival on volume. Its 3.9 rating rests on 42 ratings and 10,000 users. EverBee sits at 4.7 from 393 ratings and 200,000 users with a Featured badge, Alura at 4.3 from 437 and 100,000 users, and eRank at 3.7 from 26 and 40,000 users. Only eRank reads more than Etsy.

The split is job-based. If product research is the whole brief and you never run Etsy Ads, the EverBee Chrome extension has the bigger user base and a Featured review from Google. If you want listing tools and keyword research bundled behind a free plan, the Alura Chrome extension is the broader suite. If you sell on Amazon or Shopify as well, eRank is the one overlay here that reads those pages.

ProfitTree's edge is narrow and specific: it is the overlay whose main job is margin after ads. EverBee's and eRank's overlays do not touch your ad spend; Alura lists Etsy Ads optimization inside its suite from the Growth plan, but not as a profit ledger. My ProfitTree vs EverBee breakdown scores the two head to head. One name check: the r/etsypromos post about an extension that "shows the real profit inside the Etsy dashboard" is a different developer's tool, not ProfitTree.

Pros and Cons

The extension is worth installing for the ads sync alone if you use ProfitTree, and Radar is a fair research overlay for a $0 account. It loses points on a small rating base, two dated freeze reports, and research depth that follows your plan rather than the extension itself.

Verdict: Should You Install the ProfitTree Extension?

Install it if you run Etsy Ads and use ProfitTree, because the Advertisement Report does not populate without it, and TACoS per listing is the metric that decides which ads live. Install it on the $0 plan if you want in-page demand data without paying. Skip it if research is your only goal and you already run a 4.7-rated overlay.

• Pick it if: you advertise on Etsy and want ad spend inside your margins; you use ProfitTree's free plan and want Radar while browsing; you want a spend export for bookkeeping.
• Skip it if: you research from a phone or tablet; you sell across Amazon or Shopify; Chrome already strains under other overlays and you would not tolerate a lock-up.

Start on the free plan, open Radar on one search, and watch memory for a week before you decide on Growth.
