A new account’s first week now costs $1. When the 7 days end, the plan you chose starts on the same card, and you can cancel before then from Settings. The first week includes 50 research credits; the full 200 a month start with your first full payment.
Open itA daily money report is sent only once that day’s royalties have synced. If they have not, you get a short notice saying the report is waiting and what to do, and the report follows as soon as they arrive. If royalties stop for two days or more, Telegram tells you, with the last day we hold. Nothing is lost: the next sync reads every missing day.
Drag the edge of the keyword column to make it wider; double-click it to reset. The width is remembered on this device.
The bars under royalties, net profit, copies and ROI no longer vanish for the whole month when Amazon’s month total runs ahead of its days.
Coming back to a tab left open for hours could show an error page while you were still signed in. It now just opens.
Adding AuthorLens in ChatGPT ended on “This connection link is not valid”. It now opens the AuthorLens page where you click Allow. The guide follows ChatGPT’s new Plugins menu and says the connection is set up and used at chatgpt.com in a web browser, not in the phone or desktop app.
Vote for the features you want, ask a question and read what other authors say. The team answers there, and every idea shows whether it is being considered, in progress or done. The board is in English and Ukrainian.
What costs a credit and what is free, how Watch is charged, what the monthly 200 cover, and a quick estimate of whether they are enough for you.
A step-by-step page: from the sales rank to copies a day, the royalty per copy by KDP's rules and a month's total, with how close the estimate gets and what it leaves out.
Choose “Not sure” as the print type and the royalty, margin and goal show as a range over the prints KDP can make at that page count. The calculator is now in Ukrainian too.
Open itReport a bug on the board or to the Telegram bot. When we confirm it, 25 to 100 research credits land in your account at once — more for a wrong figure than for a typo.
Type a book's rank, price and print details and see its sales a day and royalty a copy, line by line — with KDP's real printing cost for every trim size and interior, its page limits and Kindle's delivery fee. It also turns a monthly goal into the rank you need to hold.
Open itWhen you connect Amazon Ads, AuthorLens now loads every day of keyword results Amazon still holds — up to 95 days for Sponsored Products and 60 for Sponsored Brands — not only the last month.
We compared our royalty maths with what KDP actually paid AuthorLens authors. Kindle estimates were a little low — KDP takes the delivery fee off before it pays 70%, and we took it off after — and a 6 × 9 hardcover was priced as a large book. Both are fixed: the formula now matches KDP to the cent on almost every sale. We also re-measured the rank-to-sales curve on 7,400 days of real sales; slow-selling Kindle books no longer read too low.
A broad or phrase keyword with orders no longer says "worth harvesting" when another of the book's campaigns already bids on the same words as exact match.
Moving to another screen while the dashboard was still loading could leave an error behind. It no longer does, and the affiliate page opens reliably on your first visit.
If you opened the partner page before subscribing, every other screen sent you back to it, so you could not subscribe or connect Amazon. You now reach the subscription page as you should, and your partner link keeps working.
If you had chosen Ukrainian before, pressing EN · UA on a public page sometimes kept you in the language you were leaving. It now switches every time.
The browser extension's latest update reads your past months one after another until your history is complete, instead of one run every half hour. Chrome and Firefox install it on their own.
With a promotion code, Billing showed the full plan price. It now shows what you are charged after the discount, the price it is discounted from, and when a time-limited discount ends.
On the subscribe page, Sign out is now a full button next to the email you are signed in with. Signing out ends the session in this browser only: your other computers and your phone stay signed in.
When a brand campaign's purchases had no price yet for your own titles, its spend was split evenly between them. It is now weighed by the copies each title sold.
If AuthorLens Sync stops working in your browser for a day, every screen now shows a red banner with the four steps that fix it, and the status at the top turns red. Before, you had to notice the gap in your figures yourself.
A public page that says in plain words what we read from KDP and Amazon Ads, what we never touch, and how to disconnect at any time. Send it to anyone who asks whether it is safe.
Open itA blocked or unpublished book has no product page, so advice like "upload a cover" never applied to it. Those books leave the list and the count now; one line under the list names them.
When a rival's listing says it is in colour but not which kind, the sales estimate shows the range from standard to premium colour and tells you why. It also says when a title is paperback only or not in Kindle Unlimited.
Rankings counts the ads on each day's first page, brand and video strips included, so you can tell a crowded phrase from one you can win without paying.
The small bars under net profit, royalties and copies no longer disappear in the morning before Amazon's newest day arrives. A short period shows a per-day figure instead of "Under one month", and filtering by paperback keeps the royalties.
Video and brand campaigns now show the same royalty on Performance, the book page and Ad Coach, with every edition priced at its own rate.
If an answer cannot be written, you see the reason (an expired key, for example) instead of an empty reply. A new key is accepted only after it has actually worked.
Discover opens every category on its average price, highest first, with reviews per book beside it. The category card leads with five figures: average price, what the top 20 sell for, reviews per book, reviews in the top 20 and average rating.
Every screen now asks for its figures at once instead of one after another. A campaign page went from 6.0 to 2.7 seconds, and Ad Coach from 7.2 seconds to under one.
Filtering searches by one title keeps only that title's rows, includes its own video campaigns, and measures its blind spots against what that title spends.
Issues, Settings and exchange-rate notes print dates like "Oct 3, 2026" in your language, not as raw numbers.
A chart's Best badge now crowns only a finished day, week or month, never today while it is still filling.
Credit history files every charge under an activity: watching books, keyword research, categories, AI and more. Each activity has its monthly total and a filter, every column sorts, and repeats within an hour fold into one row.
When Issues has nothing for you, it now says how many titles it checked on sale, how many can be advertised and how many campaigns are serving, and when it last looked.
The affiliate page has a searchable country list, a bank form that asks only what your country needs, and a card with your next payout.
Reopening a slow search, or repeating one within the same window, no longer costs a second credit.
Performance's metric picker fits a small phone, table headers wrap instead of cutting words in half, and the change log's filter strip shows that it scrolls.
Every account has its own referral link. You earn 20% of what each author you bring pays during their first 12 months, sent by PayPal or bank transfer.
Placement now covers Sponsored Brands and video, by day and by hour: a one-sentence verdict, where the money went next to where the orders came from, and one tile per place with its orders, spend and result against break-even.
An hour-of-day card on Ad Coach and every campaign shows when your ads earn and when they only spend, naming a quiet hour only when there is enough evidence. A Telegram alert warns when a profitable campaign is about to run out of budget early.
See the budgets Amazon recommends and the sales a campaign missed while it was out of budget, the bid range Amazon suggests for each keyword, and the keywords it suggests for each book, all judged against what a click is worth to you.
Campaigns has a Portfolio column you can sort and filter by, and brand and video campaigns now get keyword performance too.
The tour walks through what each screen is worth: profit, ads, growing, staying informed, AI and setup. Each stop links its manual page, and there are ten new manual pages in English and Ukrainian.
When Amazon's month total arrives, your daily royalties stay, and the month adds only what the days do not cover. A whole month equals Amazon's own figure exactly, and a shorter period keeps every dated day.
Add the costs Amazon never sees: Facebook or TikTok ads, promo sites, newsletters, editing, cover design, or columns you name yourself, per book and per day. Every net profit in the app subtracts them.
Every bid, budget, status and keyword change, and every hour a campaign spent out of budget, grouped by day. Amazon keeps 90 days of this history; we keep it for longer.
Mark a suggestion Done, or hide it for 7, 14 or 30 days. We check your change against Amazon, and after 14 days tell you whether it worked.
Issues now shows Amazon's reason in plain words: what is wrong, the words it flagged, what to do, and a link to the policy.
Estimates now price colour interiors as colour (with a switch to correct it), count Kindle Unlimited reads when the title is in it, and add up every edition of a title.
One rival is one row, whichever edition you found it by, and Stop watching covers every edition. Before watching a second edition, we ask, because each one is charged separately.
Connect AuthorLens to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your campaigns, books, markets, rankings, issues and credits. Research questions use credits exactly as the screens do.
Ad spend history counts as complete only when every day is accounted for. Until then the screen says what is still loading, instead of showing a total that looks finished.
Invite a partner or an assistant with a single-use link; they receive the reports and can open the app inside Telegram. Reports can also carry a low-profit warning and your account's name.
Search terms and keyword reports now cover every region of your ads account, not only North America, and Searches can be filtered by country.
Rankings has a grid with one row per phrase and one column per day, each position coloured by how close it is to the top. Click a day to see that day's first page.
A book or format filter set on the Dashboard stays on as you move to Performance and Markets, and video and brand spend follows it.
Track where each title appears for the phrases readers type, every day. Each book starts with the three phrases you pay the most for. See today's first page, a history chart with the rivals you watch, and get a Telegram message when something moves.
A book's page now has one row per storefront: royalties, ad spend, net, ad and organic orders, ACOS, TACOS and conversion.
Research compares a paperback's price with other paperbacks and a Kindle book's with other Kindle books, never one against the other.
