What Publisher Champ does

Publisher Champ ($16.99 to $29.99 a month) pulls your royalties and ad data together. Its series stats show sell-through and read-through revenue, and it added a profitable ACoS target and ROI by book in 2026. For seeing how a series earns, it's one of the best-value tools around. Details are on Publisher Champ's site.

What it leaves to you

Knowing your profitable ACoS is step one. Step two is going through hundreds of search terms and dozens of targets and deciding what to do with each. That's the weekly work most authors put off, and it's where money leaks: waste nobody negated, and good KU keywords cut because their ACoS looked bad.

What the Kindle Author Ads Analyzer adds

  • Every search term judged on series value, with negatives listed by campaign and ad group.
  • A suggested bid for every keyword and target, from what its clicks earn across the series.
  • Profitable searches to harvest into exact keywords.
  • Hidden winners: terms that look bad on ACoS and pay through KU and read-through.

It's free, needs no account connection, and runs in your browser. Try it with your report or compare more options in the full tool comparison.

Questions

Is this a replacement for Publisher Champ?

Not for reporting. Publisher Champ is a full royalty and ads dashboard. The analyzer here answers a narrower question: which search terms and bids to change, judged on series profit. Many authors would use both.

Does Publisher Champ give keyword recommendations?

As of November 2026, Publisher Champ reports series read-through and a profitable ACoS target, and hands bid automation to a partner. It doesn't list which search terms to negate or which bids to move.

Do I have to connect my Amazon account?

No. The analyzer reads the search term report you download, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
