Type /marketmage:start, or ask what MarketMage can do. Claude connects Apify if needed, then welcomes you with seven jobs, each with an example you can copy, one line on cost, and the tip "ask me to check or look up anything and I'll read it live". Then one question, "What brings you here?", with an optional line on how you sell and your budget, and your answer goes to the job it names: an Amazon seller asking about ranks goes to rank tracking, a competitor's store to the store profile. If you want something to sell, a guided session on the niche you choose: ideas selling now from the sources your channel acts on, the two best checked for the market and for you, one related version of the stronger one, and one watch on the niche. One estimate covers the three steps, given when you name a niche. A returning user with a notebook is welcomed back at their stage, with its next step.

What it costs
Above $0.05 for one request, or before anything recurring, Claude gives one estimate and waits for your yes; smaller reads just run. Figures are at Bronze, Apify's paid-plan price; lower on Silver and Gold. From 7 November 2026, reads through the data providers (eBay, Etsy, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Trustpilot, Meta and TikTok ads) cost about twice as much on Apify's free plan, and TikTok Shop product rows and store-technology lookups about one and a half times; Claude quotes both prices when they differ. Every per-result price is on the pricing page.
| Job | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| The welcome | nothing; no paid run starts from it |
| Guided first session, most sellers | about $0.55 |
| Dropshipping through ads | about $0.64 (about $0.72 on Apify's free plan) |
| Selling on Etsy or eBay | about $0.80 to $0.90 (about $1.23 to $1.33 on Apify's free plan) |
Limits
- Nothing runs until you name a niche and say yes to the one estimate; that yes covers the three steps, and each run has a spending limit a little above its estimate, never above a budget you set
- Anything you've already said (a budget, how you sell, that you're new) is used, not asked again; skip the questions and the market verdict leads every answer
- The watch at the end asks its own yes
Technical details
What it runs
Amazon Best Sellers Tracker, TikTok Shop Sales Tracker, Google Trends Scraper, Marketplace Search Scanner, Supplier Price Finder, Amazon Product Scraper. These are CleanPull's actors on the Apify Store: the programs that read the sites. Every run happens in your own Apify account and is billed there at the actor's Store price.
