Other tools show you what is selling. That is the easy half. SpotPeaks prices the whole order, including the advertising it takes to find one buyer, and shows you what is actually left.

It sells. It still loses $19.06 a sale
Sold 3,000+ times at the supplier, and three stores have kept its ad running past 30 days, the bar this site treats as proof that it sells. At $15.99, about two times the supplier price and what the cheapest stores charge, a sale leaves $3.01 before the ad, and no published ad cost comes anywhere near that.
That does not make the stores fools. The receipt is one order of one item, and a store can lose money on that sale and still make the ad pay: a second item in the same cart, a bundle or an upsell at checkout, or an email a month later that sells the same buyer something else. None of that shows in an ad, and none of it comes with the product. Copy the product and its price without it and you get the loss without the rescue.
Every product on SpotPeaks is priced as that one order, with the item, shipping, import charges, the card fee and the customer in it, so you know what it has to earn on its own before you build anything around it. Counted today, 42.0% of the products we price clear after ads at the price sellers get.

65%
of AliExpress listings cost more than the price they show
The price on a listing is often a one-time deal for new shoppers, or its cheapest option, already sold out. The spreadsheet copies it. The receipt uses the price you pay on every order, read from AliExpress’s own dropshipping system for each of the 12,065 products we priced this week.
Priced where the market already proved it: the stores that kept paying for the ad
This is the product in the picture at the top. Four stores advertise it, and their prices run from $39.97 to $89.97. The store that has kept its ads running longest is the one to price against, and at its price the product keeps money after ads. At the cheapest store's price it loses.
That is the whole method in one product: price where sellers have paid for the ad for weeks, not where a markup rule says. The page shows every store behind the price, how long its ad has run, and what you would keep at that price.

How stores make products like this pay
Four stores sell it at $39.97 to $89.97. Only the dearest one has kept its ads running for months
The listings behind the price, by the store that runs them. The longest-running store has paid for the same ad for 119 days at $69.97 and $89.97, and keeps $22.25 of every $89.97 sale after the customer is paid for. The store charging $39.97 started 17 days ago and loses $16.69 on every ad-driven sale.

Type a product idea. We find the products like it that we track and price every one with the ad in: how many pay, the best of them, and the best seller that does not.
Try:
The same catalogue and the same arithmetic as every product page: the item, shipping, US import duty, the card fee and one buyer at US ad rates.
123 car phone holders we track. None pays after the adfor “car phone mount”
0 keep money after the adpay107 lose itlose16 not enough evidence yetunproven
19 of the 123 have stores advertising them right now, the longest ad running 504 days
The best of them
None of the 123 keeps money after the ad at the price sellers charge.
The trap: the best seller of them, 10,000+ sold at the supplier, loses $18.88 on every sale at $9.99.
The research screen is the same numbers, one card per product, with the filters that matter: what is left after ads, the sell price, and whether it ships from a US warehouse. Sort by what you would keep and the products that cannot pay for a customer fall to the bottom on their own.
Open any card and you get the page above: the receipt, the stores behind the price, and where it ships from.
What one order costs, the supplier's shipping, import charges and the ad included

Why a product fails, with the receipt that shows it
What it cannot
What you will earn: the ad cost is a benchmark, and real ad costs move by a wide band around it
Your fixed costs: the store, the apps, the domain, the creative, and the products you test that do not work
Whether your page and your ad will convert: clear profit per order is not the same thing as profit
Cheaper than one bad test
Testing one product blind costs $150-300 in ad spend you will likely lose. SpotPeaks starts at $29.99 a month, so you are paying to not torch a few hundred dollars on a product the numbers already said no to.

Fair questions
How do I find a product that will actually make money?
Price the whole order first: the item, the supplier's shipping, US import duty, the card fee and the ad it takes to find one buyer. Then check that price against stores that have kept paying for the same ad for weeks. A product passes when it still leaves money at the price those stores charge. Every product page here does both, and the board sorts by what is left.
Does the cost include US import duty?
Yes. Orders from China lost their duty-free treatment in May 2025, and every other country followed in August 2025, so every order now pays duty at the border. On most AliExpress listings it is collected at checkout, as checkout charges. The cost on every page is the item, the supplier's shipping and that charge, and the page says how much each one is.
Why does AliExpress show a lower price than SpotPeaks?
Because most listings open with a one-time price for new shoppers, and a listing with options shows its cheapest one, which is sometimes sold out. From your second order on you pay the everyday price, so that is the price we read from AliExpress's own dropshipping system and cost every product at. Our cost also adds the shipping to your customer and the charges AliExpress collects at checkout, which the listing's price leaves out.
Where does the selling price come from?
From what stores charge in ads that have run for weeks for the same or similar products, and from what sellers of products like it charge. The page shows those prices beside ours, says when the evidence is thin, and says so when our price sits above what sellers get instead of quietly showing the flattering one.
Is this different from a winning products list?
A winning products list tells you somebody is selling it. That is where this starts, not where it ends. The question we answer is whether the same product still leaves you anything once the ad that found the buyer is paid for, and the answer is often no.
Do I need a store first?
No. The research side works before you have set anything up, and that is the point of doing it first.
