How Much Money Spent on AliExpress Chrome Extension Analysis

Listing positioning

Inferred product pattern

Review-backed pain points

The most common pain point is a technical failure where the tool returns 'NaN' instead of valid currency totals, rendering the extension non-functional for many users.

Observed feature gaps

Lack of custom date range filtering (e.g., for tax years), failure to parse shipping costs accurately, and lack of support for complex pricing adjustments like platform discounts.

Support

Users express frustration regarding the lack of updates to fix the 'NaN' calculation bug, with some users explicitly offering to assist in debugging.

Reliability

High incidence of reliability issues; users report the extension frequently breaks and fails to parse order totals correctly.

Privacy

No privacy complaints; users generally trust the local-only data processing claim.
