AAWP details are from our competitor reference, last verified 2026-06-01, drawn from AAWP's public pricing and feature pages. AAWP does not publish a per-search quota for its API layer, so we do not state one here. We compare only the points both products document.
Managed API (Beta) vs your own Amazon credentials
Two ways to connect the same plugin to Amazon. Most affiliates start on the Managed API to ship in 30 seconds, then bring their own credentials once they qualify and want unmetered volume. Here is exactly what differs, so the choice is yours.
Start in 30 seconds
No Amazon API approval, no AWS keys. You bring only your Amazon Associate tag and an email. Best as your on-ramp while you grow into PA-API or Creators API eligibility.
Unmetered, full fidelity
Connect your own Creators API (recommended) or PA-API v5 (legacy) credentials. No PaapiPlugin monthly cap, and every filter and sort option is available. Best once you outgrow the free quota.

Yes available No not available. A short phrase means it works with a limit, shown in the cell.
1 Customer reviews come through the PA-API path only. The recommended Creators API path does not return review data, so reviews are not available on every bring-your-own-credentials setup.
Both paths use your own Amazon Associate tag, both support brand, price, and deal filters, and you can switch between them with one toggle in the plugin admin at any time. Hidden filters and sorts are removed from the UI on the Managed API, not silently broken, so you always see exactly which options apply. The Managed API gets you live in 30 seconds with no Amazon approval; your own credentials return the richest product data. All Managed API and quota figures are code-verified against PaapiPlugin's source (agent-company/data/product-facts.md, 2026-06-04).
Frequently asked questions
Do I really not need Amazon PA-API approval to start?
That is right. The Managed API uses our infrastructure on the back end. You bring an Amazon Associates account so commissions flow to you; you do not bring AWS keys or Creators OAuth credentials.
Whose Amazon Associate tag earns the commissions?
Yours. Always yours. Your tag is registered server-side once and injected on every product link at egress. We do not capture commissions and we cannot serve your traffic under a different tag.
What if your service goes down?
Your WordPress site keeps running. Search results may come from your local plugin cache while we recover, and a one-click bring-your-own-credentials option is visible if you already hold PA-API or Creators API credentials. We do not offer an uptime SLA on the free tier.
What data do you collect?
Server-to-server only: keywords, ASINs, your Associate tag, your WordPress site URL, and your WP server IP. We never see end-visitor IPs or end-visitor data. Full detail on /privacy-policy/ under "Managed API data flows."
Can I move to my own Amazon credentials later?
Yes, one toggle in the plugin admin. The bring-your-own path has no monthly call quota on our side. Many customers use the Managed API to ship, then migrate to bring-your-own once they qualify for PA-API or Creators API.
