Does Aldus need my KDP password or cookies?
No. Aldus never asks for your store password or cookies and never signs in to your store account. You download your report files yourself and Aldus reads them on your device. Amazon endorses no royalty tracker, and your store's terms still apply to you.
Is importing files a lot of work?
You download a report, drop it into Aldus and review what was found. You can add several files at once. Aldus updates only when you import a report; it does not collect anything while your browser is closed.
Will the numbers match my store's reports?
Aldus builds your ledger from the rows in your own reports. Estimates are marked as estimates, and final figures come from the store's finalized reports. Every figure is traceable to the report it came from, so you can check it.
I have years of history in another tracker. Can I bring it?
History comes from the store's own report files, so you do not need an export from another tracker. Import the reports for the periods you want.
Which stores does Aldus read?
KDP reports today. Other stores are planned and are not available yet.
What does it cost?
Aldus is free during early access, with every feature included. Paid plans are not open.
