Looking at Publisher Champ and TitleVitals? Here's the honest answer.
If you need the things only Publisher Champ does, you need Publisher Champ. It aggregates royalties across two dozen retailers (Kobo, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Draft2Digital, Google Play, Shopify, IngramSpark and more) and rolls Amazon and Meta ad spend into one profitability view. TitleVitals does not do those things. Wide authors and ad-heavy publishers get real value there.
But TitleVitals does things no author dashboard does — it doesn't just report on your catalog, it works on it. So plenty of authors have a reason to run both. And if your publishing life is primarily Amazon KDP — like most self-published authors — TitleVitals can be your only tool.
The one-paragraph version: Publisher Champ answers "what did I earn, everywhere?" TitleVitals answers "what is Amazon doing with my books right now — and what needs fixing?" Different questions. If you only ask the second one, you only need TitleVitals.
What only Publisher Champ does
Royalty aggregation across ~24 non-Amazon retailers and distributors
Amazon Ads + Meta Ads spend rolled into a royalties-vs-spending profitability view
External expense and revenue journaling across those channels
No hedging: if these are must-haves, use Publisher Champ for them.
What only TitleVitals does
Author-page repair: finds every edition missing from your public Amazon author page and publishes them for you, in bulk. Missing editions are invisible to readers browsing your page.
Amazon editorial publishing: write From the Author, Inside Flap, Back Cover once; TitleVitals checks it against Amazon's content rules, translates it, and publishes it across formats, languages, and whole series — logged, tracked until live, and reversible.
Reviews you can actually read: new-review alerts include the review text itself, and your history keeps the record even if the review later changes or vanishes on Amazon.
Every edition and translation, one title: Kindle, paperback, hardcover, audiobook, and every language edition grouped automatically so the numbers finally add up.
Category percentile ranks: not just your BSR, but "top ~5% in Military Policy" — how you actually stand in each category.
Audible without an ACX login: audiobook ratings and reviews tracked from public data.
Promo cards and share pages: turn any book into a shareable card or a buy-link page for every format, free on every plan; Pro adds your own Associates tag.
Start from your phone, free forever: your public author page is enough to begin — no extension, no card, no computer.
