Amazon Seller Tools: The Complete Micro-SaaS Guide for 2026
MicroNicheBrowser TeamDecember 24, 2025
<h1>Amazon Seller Tools: The Complete Micro-SaaS Guide for 2026</h1>
<p>The Amazon seller tools market has a reputation for being crowded. Jungle Scout, Helium 10, Seller Scout, AMZScout — there are dozens of research tools, and every veteran Amazon seller has strong opinions about which one to use. If you have looked at this market and thought "too competitive, too late," this analysis will change your view.</p>
<p>The density at the top of the market is real. But MicroNicheBrowser.com's data reveals something more interesting: within the Amazon ecosystem, there are at least four specific niches that are simultaneously underserved, technically accessible, and genuinely demanded — each scoring between 69 and 71 out of 100 on our validation scale.</p>
<p>More tellingly, these four niches share an unusual characteristic: they have some of the highest feasibility scores in our entire database of 2,306 niches. Product Research Amazon scores <strong>10/10 on feasibility</strong>. Local Inventory Book Flippers also scores <strong>10/10</strong>. These are rare — only a handful of niches in our database achieve a perfect feasibility score. It reflects a market where the data is available, the customer is reachable, and the product can be built by a solo developer in weeks.</p>
<p>This guide covers all four niches, explains what makes the Amazon ecosystem structurally attractive for micro-SaaS, and gives you a concrete plan for entering the market in 2026.</p>

<p>For reference, the overall E-commerce category average on MicroNicheBrowser is 57.3 across 68 tracked niches. These four niches score 11.7 to 13.7 points above the category average — placing them firmly in the top 16% of e-commerce opportunities tracked.</p>
<p>All four cleared our VALIDATED threshold of 65/100, which requires consistent evidence of demand across multiple platforms. Of the 68 E-commerce niches in our database, only 11 have cleared this threshold — these four are among the most data-backed.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Why the Amazon Ecosystem Is Structurally Attractive for Micro-SaaS</h2>
<p>Before analyzing each niche individually, it is worth understanding the structural reasons why Amazon seller tools score so consistently well on feasibility.</p>
<h3>Reason 1: Amazon Provides the Data Infrastructure</h3>
<p>Amazon's marketplace generates publicly accessible data at extraordinary scale. Product listings, prices, categories, reviews, bestseller ranks, and seller information are all available via crawling, the Product Advertising API, and third-party data providers. You do not need to solve a data problem — you need to solve an analysis and presentation problem.</p>
<p>Compare this to, say, building a "restaurant traffic analytics" tool. You would need to source the underlying data yourself. Amazon seller tools start with petabytes of structured, publicly available data. The feasibility ceiling is correspondingly higher.</p>
<h3>Reason 2: Amazon Sellers Are Professional Tool Buyers</h3>
<p>Unlike consumer apps where you fight for attention against free alternatives, Amazon sellers are running businesses. They have monthly tool budgets. They measure ROI. They subscribe to multiple tools simultaneously and compare them rationally. The Helium 10 user who pays $99/month is not going to refuse a $29/month tool that does one specific thing better than Helium 10 does.</p>
<p>Our evidence database shows that the average active Amazon FBA seller with $100K+ annual revenue subscribes to 3-5 tools. They are not loyal to one platform — they are loyal to whoever solves their current problem best.</p>
<h3>Reason 3: Amazon's Rules Keep Creating New Problems</h3>
<p>Amazon updates its policies, fee structures, category requirements, and algorithm behavior continuously. Every major update creates a new set of problems for sellers — and those problems need new tools. A tool built for the 2022 fee structure became partially obsolete in 2023 when Amazon restructured its fulfillment fees. The sellers who relied on that tool's profitability calculations needed new solutions immediately.</p>
<p>This dynamic is a perpetual product opportunity factory. Amazon will keep changing. Sellers will keep needing new tools to adapt. The cycle does not end.</p>
<h3>Reason 4: The Market Is Segmented, Not Saturated</h3>
<p>Jungle Scout and Helium 10 serve the "research everything about selling on Amazon" market. They are comprehensive, expensive, and overwhelming for beginners. More importantly, they are horizontal — they try to cover every use case. This leaves vertical gaps: the Amazon book flipper who needs a specific tool for sourcing, the FBA beginner who needs sample order management and nothing else, the seller who needs sales volume data but has no use for Helium 10's suite of 20 other features.</p>
<p>Micro-SaaS wins by going narrower than the incumbents are willing to go. "The Amazon profitability calculator for Shopify brands expanding to FBA" — specific enough to own, too specific for Jungle Scout to prioritize.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Niche Deep Dive 1: Product Research Amazon (Score: 71/100)</h2>
<h3>What This Niche Actually Is</h3>
<p>Product Research Amazon covers tools that help sellers find profitable products to sell on Amazon before committing to inventory. The category includes keyword research, competitor analysis, demand estimation, and opportunity scoring.</p>
<h3>Why the Feasibility Score Is 10/10</h3>
<p>A perfect feasibility score means: a solo developer can build a functional MVP in 4-8 weeks using widely available data sources and standard web technologies. Product research tools qualify because:</p>
<ul>
<li>Amazon BSR (Best Seller Rank) is publicly visible on every product page</li>
<li>Keepa and Jungle Scout publish their own APIs for BSR history data ($50-100/month for developer access)</li>
<li>Google Trends data is free via the unofficial API (pytrends)</li>
<li>Review count, pricing, and listing data are available via Amazon PA API (free with affiliate account) or web crawling</li>
</ul>
<p>A developer who understands these data sources can build a functional product research tool with 3-4 data inputs and a scoring layer in 6-8 weeks. The hard part is not the build — it is the differentiation.</p>
<h3>The Differentiation Opportunity</h3>
<p>Existing product research tools are built for experienced sellers who understand BSR, search volume, and competition metrics. The fastest-growing segment of Amazon sellers are beginners — particularly Shopify brand owners expanding to FBA and people displaced from traditional employment looking for an income stream.</p>
<p>This beginner segment needs product research tooling with different UI assumptions:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Good" / "Risky" / "Avoid" scoring instead of raw numbers</li>
<li>Explanation of <em>why</em> a product scores the way it does, in plain English</li>
<li>Pre-filtered categories (no restricted categories, no fragile items, no seasonal-only opportunities) with toggle options to add them back</li>
<li>Competition analysis framed as "Can you win this?" not "Here are the top 10 sellers"</li>
</ul>
<p>These are UX decisions, not data decisions. Building for beginners with the same underlying data that Jungle Scout uses is a viable differentiator.</p>

<h2>Niche Deep Dive 2: Sales Volume Estimation Amazon (Score: 69/100)</h2>
<h3>What This Niche Actually Is</h3>
<p>Sales volume estimation is a subset of product research — specifically the problem of answering "how many units does this product sell per month?" Amazon does not publish sales data. The industry has converged on BSR-to-sales estimation as the standard methodology, but the implementations vary enormously in accuracy and transparency.</p>
<h3>Why This Warrants Its Own Niche Score</h3>
<p>Sales volume estimation has a 7.0/10 Opportunity score — the highest of the four niches — because the problem is specifically and loudly complained about by Amazon sellers. The complaint: "I don't trust Jungle Scout's sales estimates. They're off by 40-60% in some categories."</p>
<p>Our evidence database captured 312 posts specifically discussing distrust of existing sales estimation tools. That is an unusually high problem-specific signal. Sellers who distrust the tools they currently use are actively searching for alternatives. That search intent is a buyer in motion.</p>
<h3>The Technical Differentiation: Category-Specific Models</h3>
<p>The core problem with existing sales estimation tools is that they use a single BSR-to-sales conversion model across all categories. But the relationship between BSR and sales volume is not uniform across Amazon's 36 top-level categories. A BSR of 5,000 in Kitchen & Dining implies very different monthly sales than a BSR of 5,000 in Books.</p>
<p>A tool that trains separate estimation models for each major category — using validation data from sellers who share their actual sales numbers in exchange for free access — would have demonstrably better accuracy. This is a data flywheel: better accuracy attracts more users, more users contribute validation data, accuracy improves further.</p>
<p>Getting the first 50 users to contribute their actual sales data is the hard part. The approach: find 50 Amazon seller Facebook groups, offer free lifetime access in exchange for data contribution, and seed the model with enough data to demonstrate superior accuracy before public launch.</p>
<h3>Revenue Model</h3>
<p>Sales volume estimation can be sold as a standalone tool ($15-39/month) or as an API service for developers building on top of Amazon data ($0.001-0.005 per lookup). The API model is interesting because it targets developers at companies like Helium 10 and Jungle Scout competitors — B2B data licensing rather than direct-to-seller.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Niche Deep Dive 3: Sample Order Management FBA (Score: 69/100)</h2>
<h3>What This Niche Actually Is</h3>
<p>Before an Amazon FBA seller commits to a large inventory purchase from a manufacturer (typically in China, India, or Vietnam), they order samples — physical product samples — to verify quality, dimensions, and production consistency. Managing multiple sample orders from multiple suppliers simultaneously is a manual, error-prone process that most sellers manage in spreadsheets.</p>
<p>Sample Order Management FBA covers tools specifically designed to track this process: which samples are ordered, from which supplier, what the status is, what the quality criteria are, what the decision deadline is, and what the next action is when a sample arrives.</p>
<h3>Why This Scores 8.2 on Feasibility</h3>
<p>This is a lightweight CRUD application with a workflow layer. There is no complex data acquisition challenge. You are building:</p>
<ul>
<li>A supplier database (name, country, contact, platform — Alibaba, 1688, etc.)</li>
<li>A sample tracking board (status: ordered, shipped, in transit, received, under review, approved/rejected)</li>
<li>A quality checklist per sample (customizable, with pass/fail and notes)</li>
<li>An email reminder system (when a sample has been in review for more than 3 days, send a reminder)</li>
<li>A decision log (for approved samples: link to the full inventory order that follows)</li>
</ul>
<p>This is a solo developer's 3-week project. The 8.2/10 feasibility score is not a 10 because there is some complexity in the supplier communication layer — sending structured follow-up emails to Alibaba suppliers in a way that integrates with their own communication style is more nuanced than it sounds.</p>
<h3>The Market Gap: No One Builds for Pre-FBA</h3>
<p>Every major Amazon seller tool focuses on post-listing: research, optimization, advertising, inventory replenishment. The pre-launch phase — finding suppliers, ordering samples, qualifying products — is largely unserved by dedicated software. Sellers use Notion templates, Google Sheets, or Trello boards to manage this phase.</p>
<p>A dedicated tool would win not through superior features but through specificity. "This tool is built for Amazon FBA sellers ordering samples from Alibaba and 1688. Every field, every workflow, every reminder is designed for exactly that process." Specificity beats feature depth for this customer.</p>
<h3>Distribution Note</h3>
<p>The 6.5/10 GTM score (lowest of the four niches) reflects that this niche's community is slightly harder to reach than the research/data niches. Sample management conversations happen in private Facebook groups and paid courses, not on public forums. Budget for paid community access (Amazon FBA Facebook groups often have paid membership requirements to prevent tool spam) or affiliate partnerships with Amazon FBA course creators, who have exactly the right audience.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Niche Deep Dive 4: Local Inventory Book Flippers (Score: 69/100)</h2>
<h3>What This Niche Actually Is</h3>
<p>Book flipping — buying used books at thrift stores, library sales, and estate sales, then reselling them on Amazon — is a low-capital, high-velocity business model practiced by tens of thousands of people globally. The core workflow: scan a book's ISBN at the point of purchase, see the current Amazon price, determine whether the margin justifies the purchase, buy or skip.</p>
<p>Local Inventory Book Flippers covers tools that support this sourcing workflow: fast ISBN scanning, profit calculation (accounting for FBA fees, shipping, storage), and inventory management for physical books in transit to Amazon fulfillment centers.</p>
<h3>Why Feasibility Is 10/10 Here</h3>
<p>This is a mobile-first application with three data integrations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Camera/barcode scanner (native phone hardware)</li>
<li>Amazon PA API (returns price, BSR, and FBA fee data for any ISBN — free)</li>
<li>A simple profit calculator (subtracts purchase price, FBA fees, and a configurable margin buffer)</li>
</ul>
<p>An experienced mobile developer can build a functional MVP of this tool in 2 weeks. The business logic is simple. The data is free. The UI is a single screen with a camera preview, a scan result panel, and a buy/skip decision. The 10/10 feasibility score reflects this minimal technical complexity.</p>
<h3>The Competitive Landscape Gap</h3>
<p>The dominant tool in this niche is Scoutify (part of InventoryLab, $49/month for the full suite) and Profit Bandit ($9.99/month). Both are functional but have significant UX problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>Scoutify requires the full InventoryLab subscription — overkill for someone who just wants to scan books at a library sale</li>
<li>Profit Bandit has not had a meaningful UI update since 2019 by community consensus</li>
<li>Neither tool handles the specific case of books with multiple Amazon listings (new, used, collectible) in an intuitive way</li>
</ul>
<p>The opportunity is a standalone, book-specific scanning app at $9-19/month that does one thing — help you decide whether to buy a book — better than any existing tool. No inventory management. No full-suite overhead. Just a fast, accurate buy/skip decision engine for books.</p>
<h3>The Book Flipper Community Is Highly Concentrated</h3>
<p>The 7.2/10 GTM score is the highest of the four niches, and it reflects the community dynamics. Book flippers congregate in specific Facebook groups (the top 10 book flipping groups have a combined 200,000+ members), follow specific YouTube channels (several have 100K-500K subscribers focused entirely on book flipping), and attend specific events (library sales, estate sales, BookSaleFinder notifications).</p>
<p>These communities actively share tool recommendations. A recommendation from a trusted YouTube creator in this space to a 200K subscriber channel will generate hundreds of trials in a week. The cost of that recommendation: build something good enough that the creator wants to recommend it organically, or negotiate a modest affiliate arrangement.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Cross-Niche Analysis: What These Four Niches Share</h2>
<p>Looking at the four Amazon niches together, a pattern emerges that explains why they all score in the 69-71 range:</p>
<h3>Shared Characteristic 1: Existing Tools Are Horizontal, These Are Vertical</h3>
<p>Jungle Scout covers product research, sales estimation, keyword research, listing optimization, and advertising analytics in one platform. It does all of them adequately. None of the four niches above are well-served by Jungle Scout's approach because they each require a specific depth of functionality that Jungle Scout's breadth-first product philosophy does not accommodate.</p>
<p>Product research for beginners, category-specific sales estimation, pre-FBA sample management, and book-specific scanning are all too narrow for Jungle Scout to prioritize. That narrowness is your competitive moat.</p>
<h3>Shared Characteristic 2: The Data Problem Is Solved</h3>
<p>In each case, the underlying data is accessible without proprietary data collection. Amazon's BSR, fee schedules, and pricing are public. ISBNs map to standardized book data. Supplier management requires only the data the user inputs. None of these niches require building a data moat — they require building a better interface on top of existing data.</p>
<h3>Shared Characteristic 3: The Customer Has Money and a Clear ROI Test</h3>
<p>Amazon sellers measure tools by one criterion: does this tool help me make more money than it costs? A $49/month product research tool that helps a seller avoid one bad $500 inventory purchase has clearly positive ROI. A $19/month book scanning app that helps a flipper identify 10 more profitable books per library sale than they would have found manually has clearly positive ROI. The justification conversation is short.</p>
<h3>Shared Characteristic 4: Seasonal Usage Patterns Require Careful Pricing</h3>
<p>Amazon selling has strong seasonal patterns. Q4 (October-December) is peak season, with significantly higher seller activity and therefore higher tool usage and higher willingness to pay. January-February are slow months with higher churn risk. A pricing strategy that acknowledges this — annual plans discounted significantly, Q3/Q4 promotions for seasonal sellers, usage-based add-ons for peak periods — will outperform standard monthly SaaS pricing in this market.</p>
<hr />
<h2>The Go-to-Market Playbook: Amazon Seller Communities</h2>
<p>All four niches share similar distribution channels with slightly different emphasis. Here is the consolidated playbook:</p>
<h3>Phase 1: Community Immersion (Weeks 1-4, Before Building)</h3>
<p>Before writing a line of code, spend four weeks embedded in the communities your potential customers inhabit. For Amazon seller tools:</p>
<ul>
<li>Join the top 5 Amazon FBA Facebook groups (search "Amazon FBA" in Facebook Groups; the top results have 50K-200K members each)</li>
<li>Subscribe to the top 5 Amazon seller YouTube channels (Jungle Scout's channel, Helium 10's channel, and 3 independent creators)</li>
<li>Read 30 days of posts in r/FulfillmentByAmazon and r/amazonseller</li>
<li>Buy and use the tools your competitors build — Jungle Scout, Helium 10, Scoutify, Profit Bandit</li>
</ul>
<p>Document every complaint, every wish, every "I wish this tool would just..." statement. These are your product requirements.</p>
<h3>Phase 2: Build With a User Panel (Weeks 5-12)</h3>
<p>Identify 10-15 sellers from the communities who expressed the specific pain your tool addresses. Offer them free lifetime access in exchange for weekly 30-minute feedback calls during development. Build for their specific workflow, not a generalized version of it.</p>
<p>Having 15 real users testing your tool before launch produces:</p>
<ul>
<li>Authentic testimonials ("I've been beta testing this and it caught a problem that would have cost me $800")</li>
<li>Workflow edge cases you would never have predicted</li>
<li>A launch day support base who will upvote your posts and recommend the tool in community threads</li>
</ul>
<h3>Phase 3: Launch in Community (Week 12)</h3>
<p>Post a launch thread in the Facebook groups and subreddits where you spent Phase 1. Not a promotional post — a "I built this because I saw so many people struggling with X" post. Frame the tool around the specific pain point you watched unfold in the community. Reference real threads you saw during your immersion period.</p>
<p>This approach works because community members recognize genuine participation. A person who has been answering questions for four weeks launching a relevant tool gets benefit of the doubt. A person who shows up on launch day with no history gets treated as spam.</p>
<h3>Phase 4: Content and SEO (Months 3-6)</h3>
<p>Amazon seller tools have significant search volume for specific problem queries. Data from MicroNicheBrowser's keyword analysis:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Query</th>
<th>Monthly Search Volume (Est.)</th>
<th>Competition Level</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>"amazon product research tool"</td>
<td>8,100</td>
<td>High (established players)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"amazon sales estimator free"</td>
<td>2,900</td>
<td>Medium</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"amazon fba sample order tracker"</td>
<td>480</td>
<td>Low (opportunity)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"book flipping app scanner"</td>
<td>720</td>
<td>Low (opportunity)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>"best app to scan books for amazon"</td>
<td>1,300</td>
<td>Low-Medium</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The lower-volume, lower-competition queries are where micro-SaaS wins against Jungle Scout and Helium 10. Those companies cannot justify creating content for a 480-search/month query. You can — and you should.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Infrastructure and Build Costs</h2>
<p>For comparison, here is the infrastructure cost profile for each tool type:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Niche</th>
<th>Build Time (Solo Dev)</th>
<th>Monthly Infrastructure (100 users)</th>
<th>Key Data Costs</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Product Research Tool</td>
<td>6-8 weeks</td>
<td>$80-120</td>
<td>Keepa API ~$50/mo, PA API free</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sales Volume Estimator</td>
<td>4-6 weeks</td>
<td>$50-80</td>
<td>Keepa API ~$50/mo for BSR history</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sample Order Manager</td>
<td>3-4 weeks</td>
<td>$30-50</td>
<td>No external data API needed</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Book Scanner App</td>
<td>2-3 weeks</td>
<td>$20-40</td>
<td>PA API free, ISBN database free</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>All four products can be profitable at 50 paying customers. At 200 customers, all four are generating $5,000-$15,000/month with infrastructure costs under $200/month — margins that would be the envy of most businesses.</p>
<hr />
<h2>How MicroNicheBrowser.com Identified These Opportunities</h2>
<p>The scoring behind these four niches reflects data gathered from 16 platforms. For the Amazon seller ecosystem specifically, our evidence collection pulled:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reddit: r/FulfillmentByAmazon (320K members), r/amazonseller, r/flipping, r/bookscouts</li>
<li>YouTube: Comments on top 20 Amazon FBA channels, specifically mining for tool complaints and feature requests</li>
<li>Twitter/X: Threads from Amazon seller influencers discussing tool limitations</li>
<li>Facebook Groups: Public post analysis from the three largest Amazon FBA groups</li>
<li>Google Trends: Search volume trends for key tool-related queries</li>
<li>DataForSEO: Keyword difficulty and search volume for 150+ Amazon-related tool queries</li>
</ul>
<p>This multi-platform evidence collection is what separates a validated niche from a guess. The E-commerce category on MicroNicheBrowser contains 68 tracked niches — but only 11 of them have cleared the 65-point validation threshold that these four Amazon niches have cleared. The rest remain interesting ideas without the data to back them up.</p>

Each validated niche includes a competitor analysis, value ladder, and execution plan generated from the evidence data.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Choosing Between the Four Niches</h2>
<p>If you are a solo developer considering entering the Amazon seller tools market, here is a framework for choosing between the four niches based on your specific situation:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Your Situation</th>
<th>Best Starting Niche</th>
<th>Why</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Mobile developer, want fast launch</td>
<td>Book Scanner App</td>
<td>2-3 week build, 10/10 feasibility, clear incumbents with UX problems</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Web developer, want quick revenue validation</td>
<td>Sample Order Manager</td>
<td>Pure CRUD, no external data dependencies, clear workflow pain</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Data-oriented developer, interested in ML</td>
<td>Sales Volume Estimator</td>
<td>Category-specific models are a genuine technical differentiator</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Full-stack developer, want largest market</td>
<td>Product Research (beginner-focused)</td>
<td>Highest score (71), largest TAM, clear UX differentiation angle</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>There is no wrong choice here. All four have real market demand, validated by 20,868 evidence data points across our database. The best choice is the one you will finish building and actually put in front of users.</p>
<hr />
<h2>The Consolidation Path: Building a Suite</h2>
<p>Here is the strategic picture that makes this market especially interesting: the four niches above describe different stages of the same seller journey.</p>
<ol>
<li>Research products to sell (Product Research Tool)</li>
<li>Estimate how much they sell (Sales Volume Estimator)</li>
<li>Order samples from suppliers (Sample Order Manager)</li>
<li>Or, for book flippers: scan inventory in real time (Book Scanner)</li>
</ol>
<p>A founder who builds one of these tools and acquires 200 customers has already acquired the exact customers who would buy the adjacent tools. The consolidation path is clear: build one niche, reach profitability, then expand into adjacent stages of the seller journey.</p>
<p>This is not a new strategy. It is exactly how Jungle Scout built from a browser extension to a full suite over seven years. The difference is that you are starting in 2026 with LLM APIs that make the AI-powered analysis layer trivial to implement — and you have MicroNicheBrowser's evidence data telling you exactly which specific gaps the incumbents have left open.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Conclusion: Amazon Is Still Full of Micro-SaaS Opportunities</h2>
<p>The narrative that the Amazon seller tools market is "saturated" is wrong. The horizontal layer is competitive. The vertical, problem-specific layer is wide open.</p>
<p>Four validated niches, scoring 69-71/100 across MicroNicheBrowser's composite scoring system, offer a combined addressable market of millions of active Amazon sellers globally — all with established tool-buying habits, clear ROI frameworks, and concentrated communities that make distribution far easier than most B2B SaaS markets.</p>
<p>The feasibility scores tell the real story. Two of these four niches score a perfect 10/10 on feasibility. One is a 2-week mobile build. One is a 3-week web application. The barriers are not technical. They are the usual barriers of any product business: understanding customers well enough to build what they actually need, distributing consistently, and staying focused long enough to compound.</p>
<p>MicroNicheBrowser tracks 68 e-commerce niches in total.
