1. SourceMogul Shut Down. Here's What You Need to Know.
SourceMogul was one of the most widely-used browser-based online arbitrage tools on the market. Sellers used it to scan retail websites for profitable Amazon inventory. Then it went dark, with no warning and no clear successor announced.
If you landed here because you just lost access, this post covers what you need to know. I'm going over Sellermogul (the closest direct replacement), how it stacks up against Tactical Arbitrage, and which tool actually makes sense depending on where you are in your FBA business right now.
I've been running OA at scale for years and I've tested most of the major sourcing tools on the market. These are my actual numbers and honest opinions.
2. What Is Sellermogul
Sellermogul is the closest thing to a SourceMogul replacement available right now. It's a Chrome extension that scans retail product pages in the background while you browse, flags items with positive Amazon margins, and surfaces the key data: BSR, estimated monthly sales, ROI, and net profit after FBA fees.
The workflow is nearly identical to SourceMogul. You visit a store page. Sellermogul checks prices against Amazon. You get a green or red indicator. Simple.
It supports 500+ retail websites out of the box. The extension is lightweight and doesn't visibly slow your browser down.
3. Sellermogul Features: What You Actually Get
Here's what's inside the tool:
- Passive background scanning on 500+ retail websites as you browse
- Amazon price, BSR, and estimated monthly sales data
- ROI and net profit calculations after FBA fees and referral fees
- Keepa price history chart integration
- IP complaint flags and hazmat product warnings
- Buy box data and current number of competing FBA sellers
The interface is clean and data loads fast. You set your minimum ROI threshold in the settings and anything below that threshold gets filtered out automatically during your browsing session.
One hard limitation worth knowing before you pay: Sellermogul does not run bulk scans. You browse page by page and it scans as you go. If you want to scan 10,000 products overnight while you sleep, this is not the tool for that job. That distinction matters a lot once you're trying to scale.
4. Sellermogul Pricing in 2026
Sellermogul runs one main plan at $67/month. They offer a 14-day trial for $1, which is a low-risk way to test whether the passive browsing workflow fits how you source.
There's no free tier, but $1 for two weeks of full access is enough time to know if the tool works for you. If you're finding profitable leads in the first week, the math works. If you're grinding for 7 days and coming up empty, the tool probably isn't the problem.
Compare that to Tactical Arbitrage at $89/month for the Online Arbitrage plan. The $22 monthly gap isn't massive, but what you get for each price point is very different, and that's the real comparison worth making.
5. Tactical Arbitrage vs SourceMogul: The Honest Take
This is the comparison most people are actually searching for. They used SourceMogul, it's gone, and they want to know if Tactical Arbitrage fills the same gap.
Short answer: yes, but it's a completely different experience.
SourceMogul and Sellermogul are passive browser tools. You shop, they scan. Tactical Arbitrage runs active, automated bulk scans across entire product categories. You tell it to scan Home Depot's tools section and come back 45 minutes later to a list of flagged deals. No manual browsing required.
That's a fundamentally different workflow. Active bulk scanning finds more deals faster. Passive browser scanning gives you more hands-on control over exactly what you're looking at. The right choice depends on your sourcing volume targets and how much time you have to sit at a screen.

6. Why Serious Sellers Move to Tactical Arbitrage
"Tactical Arbitrage is hands down the best sourcing software when it comes to online arbitrage. Now, even if it's the best, most people that actually try the software actually stop using it really, really fast because they have a hard time getting results." This Tactical Arbitrage Strategy Made Me Millions | YouTube, Aug 2025
That's me in that video, and I stand by every word. The tool is the best at what it does. The failure mode isn't the software. It's sellers who set up one scan, skip the filter setup, get 2,000 unfiltered results back, and quit after day three.
The sellers who stick with it and learn the filter system are the ones running $30K, $50K, $100K+ months on FBA. The learning curve is real but it's short. Most people are pulling clean, profitable leads within two to three weeks of consistent use.
Sellermogul has almost no learning curve. That's genuinely valuable at the beginning. But that simplicity also caps how much volume you can realistically push through the system.
7. Tactical Expander: The Add-On That Multiplies Your Site Coverage
"Today you are going to learn how to find more profitable online arbitrage products by scanning more websites with one of my favorite online arbitrage tools, which is Tactical Expander. Tactical Expander is going to help you scan more websites with Tactical Arbitrage that are not on Tactical Arbitrage." Find 20 Online Arbitrage Leads a Day With Tactical Expander | YouTube, Mar 2024
Tactical Arbitrage has a default library of supported retail sites. Tactical Expander adds hundreds more that aren't in that default list. This is where the comparison to Sellermogul's 500+ site claim gets interesting.
Sellermogul covers 500+ sites passively as you browse them one by one. Tactical Arbitrage plus Tactical Expander covers a comparable number of sites AND runs bulk scans across all of them automatically. You're not clicking around. The tool is pulling leads at volume while you do something else.
Tactical Expander costs around $30-40/month on top of your Tactical Arbitrage subscription. Yes, that pushes the total cost up. But read the full Tactical Expander breakdown before you write off the price difference. The leads-per-hour math changes fast.
8. How I Pull 20+ Leads a Day Without Sitting at My Desk
My sourcing setup is simple. I queue 4-6 scans before bed. By morning I have 200-400 flagged products in my results queue across multiple retailers and categories, all without touching the browser.
I filter those results to ROI above 30%, BSR under 150,000 in the main category, and at least 3 FBA sellers on the listing. That filter cuts 400 results down to 40-60 worth reviewing manually. I spend 30 minutes checking Keepa for buy box history on those, and I place orders on the ones that look stable.
On an average day that produces 10-15 actual purchase decisions. On a great day, 25+. That's the lead volume you need to build real FBA revenue month over month. See how this fits into the full daily lead-finding system I teach my students in The Scaling Society.
9. Adding XPath to Tactical Arbitrage for Even More Site Coverage
If a site isn't covered by Tactical Arbitrage or Tactical Expander, you can add it manually using XPath. XPath is a selector that tells the tool which elements on a webpage contain the product title, price, and image.
It sounds technical. It's not hard. You right-click on a product block on the store's website, grab the XPath from your browser's dev tools, and paste it into Tactical Arbitrage's custom site builder. I added 12 niche clearance sites this way in the last quarter alone.
Not every website uses XPath, but most modern e-commerce stores do. The coverage you can build this way is genuinely large, and it turns Tactical Arbitrage into a custom scanning engine built around your specific sourcing targets. The step-by-step XPath tutorial walks through the full process if you want to try it.
10. Which Tactical Arbitrage Plan Should You Start With
Tactical Arbitrage has a few pricing tiers. The Flip Pack is the cheapest option but it blocks you from retail site scanning, which is the core use case for OA. You want at least the Online Arbitrage plan.
The full plan adds bookstore scanning and a few additional features most OA sellers don't need in their first year. Start with Online Arbitrage, run it for 30 days, and upgrade if you're hitting the plan's limits on scan frequency or site access.
The pricing question comes up constantly in our Discord. My answer is always the same: start with Online Arbitrage, add Tactical Expander after your first profitable month, then add XPath custom sites after that. Layer the tools in as your volume grows. The full Tactical Arbitrage review breaks down every plan and what each one actually gives you.
11. My Actual Sourcing Setup at $100K+ Per Month
I use Tactical Arbitrage as my primary sourcing tool. Tactical Expander runs on top of it to cover the sites not in the default library. For anything those two miss, I add sites manually with XPath. That three-layer setup covers the retailers I need to hit my monthly numbers.
I stopped using browser-based sourcing tools about 18 months ago. Not because tools like Sellermogul are bad. Because bulk scanning produces 3-4x the lead volume for the same time investment, and time is the real constraint when you're running a high-volume FBA operation.
If you're doing under $10K/month, Sellermogul is a solid starting point. It's cheaper, the learning curve is flat, and you can find real deals with it. Once you want to scale past that threshold, move to Tactical Arbitrage and stack Expander on top. The math changes fast once you see it in action.
