Automated Amazon sourcing tool

Automated Amazon sourcing tool: 8 users pay $97 a month, author reports $551 monthly profit

In August 2025 the author built an automated sourcing tool for Amazon sellers with n8n, Apify, ChatGPT, Hostinger and Supabase. The author says 8 users pay $97 a month and reports $551 a month in profit at a 70%+ margin; Apify costs $200 a month for the 8 users. The bare $ currency is unconfirmed and the month the figures cover is not stated.

The story

In August 2025 the author built an automated sourcing tool for Amazon sellers. Users paste Amazon product page URLs in bulk, and the automated sourcing agent returns the source link, price and profit as a leads list. User input and pipeline output are connected via webhooks through the CometLeads website interface.

The build has six steps: self-host n8n on Hostinger and build the website with Hostinger Mirage and Hostinger’s AI website builder from a few prompts; connect the site’s webhook to n8n; set up an n8n pipeline combining an Amazon product info extractor, Google search tools and low-cost web scrapers, with ChatGPT regenerating product titles for better search results; create subagents so multiple users can run at once; filter out fake websites, non-US websites and the author’s own IP brand list; and log the cleaned results in Supabase before sending them back to the CometLeads output UI for users.

On costs, the author lists a $25 first-year Hostinger hosting promo, $0 for self-hosted n8n and $0 for ChatGPT. Apify is billed by usage and costs $200 a month for 8 users on the Enterprise plan.

On revenue, the author writes that 8 users paid $97 a month, for a profit of $551 a month at a 70%+ margin, and says the tool effectively cuts sourcing costs. 8 × $97 − $200 comes to $576, $25 more than the author’s $551; the post does not explain the gap or say which month the figures cover.
