Brightpearl vs Stock2Shop (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Brightpearl if

• Fits if you sell through several channels and can plan a months-long rollout
• Works for retailers of about £2m revenue or more

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you are small, as it aims at roughly £2m revenue and up
• Skip it if you want a price, because a quote after a demo is the only way to buy
• Tight if you need to start this month, since implementation averages about 120 days
• Skip it if you want a free trial, as none is listed

Pick Stock2Shop if

• Fits if you run Sage or SYSPRO and want it to feed an online store
• Works for wholesalers who need a B2B trade store on top of their ERP

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want one product that holds stock, since it only connects other systems
• Not for you if you need a price to plan with, as none is published
• Skip it if you want to try before talking to sales, because only a demo is offered
• Watch out: the integration list leans towards ERPs common in South Africa and the UK
• Watch out: which ERP and store pairs work is shown on its integrations pages
