Understand the Pricing score

See how market fit and cost-floor coverage contribute to the score.

The Pricing score is an assessment out of 100 of your regular price against the available comparison evidence and recorded cost requirements. A higher score indicates a closer fit to those conditions; it does not guarantee sales.

Open the breakdown

On the listing’s Pricing tab, select View score breakdown. The panel shows market fit, cost-floor coverage and the calculation for this listing.

Pricing score breakdown showing market fit, cost-floor coverage and the final calculation

Use the listing’s breakdown to see which part is limiting its score.

​

What contributes to the score

  • Market fit: how close the compared regular price is to the supported comparable-price range. A price within the range has the strongest market fit; the fit falls as the price moves further outside it.

  • Cost-floor coverage: progress from break-even towards the minimum price needed for your target margin, when usable cost information is available. Below break-even, coverage is zero; at or above the target floor, it reaches 100%.

When both components are available, the score is market fit × cost-floor coverage, with coverage expressed as a fraction. For example, market fit of 80 and coverage of 75% give a score of 60. If usable cost-floor information is unavailable, the market assessment alone does not confirm that the product meets your margin target.

​

Interpret the bands

  • 90–100: On target.

  • 70–89: Close.

  • 50–69: Needs tweak.

  • 0–49: Significantly off.

​

Why the score or recommendation may surprise you

A profitable product can have a low Pricing score when its price is far from the comparable range. A market-aligned price can also score poorly if it does not cover the recorded costs and target. The recommendation can balance those competing requirements rather than simply copying the competitor average.

​

For products with variants, inspect the variant details and data coverage. Missing usable comparison data can produce an unavailable score, shown as a dash; that is different from zero.
