## Where Putler is stronger

Consolidation. If you sell on WooCommerce, Etsy and Amazon and get paid through PayPal and Stripe in three currencies, Putler pulls it into one deduplicated view. Jimmy covers one store type at a time and no marketplaces.

Customer and subscription reporting. RFM segments, customer histories, product affinities, MRR, churn and LTV are built in. Jimmy doesn't do those.

Price at the low end. Under $10,000 a month in revenue, Putler costs $20.

## Sales, or profit

Putler is excellent at what came in: net sales after fees, refunds and taxes, across every channel. We couldn't find product costs or ad spend in its public docs, so net sales there isn't the same as profit.

Jimmy starts from cost. It pulls product costs and ad spend, so the number it shows is what you kept, per product and per campaign.

## A weekly report, or a message when it matters

Putler emails you a weekly report. Jimmy checks every day and writes only when something needs action, like a campaign that stopped paying or a best-seller about to run out.

- You sell across several stores and marketplaces
- You take payments through several gateways or currencies

## Choose Jimmy OS if
