- Keepa [COMPANY CLAIM] Sep 30, 2026 · 2 changes this monthKeepa Pro (the paid browser subscription, also marketed as Keepa Premium) is priced at €29/month or €290/year, a single flat tier with no free trial; this is reported as matching Keepa's own FAQ and site pricing constants. source

How big this market is, as its publishers state it
No market-size figure has been recorded for this level yet. Not read is not zero.
Research-house estimates for this sector, carried side by side under each house’s own name. Estimates of one market can differ several-fold; none is averaged, and none is Forge’s.
No publisher is named for this level yet, so there is nothing to read from. Publishers are authored in the taxonomy and arrive with a deploy.
