EconoFlip vs Tactical Arbitrage
Your first flip shouldn't need a training course.
Tactical Arbitrage — now part of Threecolts' Seller 365 bundle — is a powerful scanning machine: 1,400+ retail sites by their own count. EconoFlip is the simple way to start: a free Chrome extension that captures the deal on the retailer page you're already browsing and matches it to Amazon.ca instantly, with the profit math done. Free to install; a free account unlocks the numbers on every row. In English or in French.
Free during beta · No email to install · No card, no scan setup, no second subscription.
Powerful isn't the same as simple
Credit where it's due: Tactical Arbitrage is a serious sourcing machine. It scans more than 1,400 retail sites by their own count, matches products to Amazon with a UPC and image algorithm, computes ROI, and full-time arbitrage sellers have built businesses on it.
But that power gets billed three times before your first flip.
One: the learning curve. The full tool is famous for it — you configure scans, learn the filters, and wait, sometimes hours, for results. Their own support docs then walk you through a manual checklist to confirm each match is really the same product before you buy. Threecolts knows it too: they now sell a stripped-down Lite mode with pre-picked products for people who find the full tool too much.
Two: the price of admission. Lite or full, plans start at US$69 a month and the trial asks for your card up front. That's real money before you know whether reselling is even for you.
Three: Canada. Amazon.ca is one of a dozen marketplaces they support and Canada is one sourcing country among many — but the catalog and the marketing are US-first, and the interface is English only.
EconoFlip flips that order: start first, learn as you go.
No scan setup, no filter tuning, no second subscription. Browse a supported Canadian retailer page, click the extension, and it captures the deal, matches it to its exact Amazon.ca listing — precision over volume: when a match is doubtful, we skip it rather than show it — and computes net profit after Amazon fees, sales-per-month estimates, and a flip score. You browse, you capture, you decide.

If you're a power seller, buy the power tool
Honestly: if you run a full-time arbitrage operation — wholesale lists, storefront tracking, a thousand-plus sites across the US — Tactical Arbitrage was built for you, and it comes bundled with repricing, inventory and accounting tools you probably already want.
EconoFlip is built for the other end of the market: small resellers and people making their first flip. One country, a short list of retailers we cover properly, and the profit math done the moment you capture a deal. The simplest version of reselling we could build.
Power for scale, or simple for starting. Pick the one that matches where you are.
Start with a real deal, not a tutorial.
