Free Etsy seller toolkit – profit calculator, AI tag/title generator, shop description writer (no login)

I built this because my [friend/relative/observation] was selling handmade products on Etsy and had no idea how much money Etsy was actually taking from each sale. Every decent tool I found either cost $15-20 a month or required an email signup just to see a result.
So I built etsys.in — currently has these free tools, all usable without any account:
— Profit calculator (6.5% transaction fee, listing fee, payment processing, net profit breakdown)
— Listing title generator — gives 5 title variations with reasoning
— 13-tag generator — outputs exactly 13 copy-pasteable tag chips
— Shop description writer — generates About section, announcement, and policies
— SEO keyword research — AI-suggested buyer-intent keywords for any niche
— Payment reserve calculator — tells new sellers how much Etsy will hold and for how long
— Shop name generator, product description writer, review response generator, seasonal trend planner
Stack is Next.js, Groq API (llama3-70b) for the AI tools, MongoDB Atlas for usage tracking, Cloudinary reserved for a photo background remover I'm adding next.
The target audience is the 8 million Etsy sellers globally, especially newer sellers who are not technical and have no budget for paid tools. Etsy sellers in India in particular have almost no free tools built for them.
Honest about what it is not: the keyword tool uses AI to generate buyer-intent suggestions, not live Etsy search volume data. I say this clearly on the page. Some paid tools imply real-time data and charge monthly for it. I did not want to do that.
Happy to answer questions about the build. Also building rudnex.in as a companion project

    This is actually well thought out — especially removing login friction. That alone makes it usable.
    One thing though — right now it feels like a collection of tools, not a product people remember or come back to.
    In this space, features get copied fast. The ones that stick usually win on brand + positioning, not just utility.
    etsys.in” works functionally, but it doesn’t really build any long-term identity if you expand beyond this.
    Are you planning to keep this as a free utility hub or turn it into something bigger over time?
    If it’s the second, worth thinking about a stronger standalone brand early — makes everything else easier later.
