Brightpearl vs Stockpilot (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 Stockpilot if

• Fits if you sell on Bol or Amazon and want stock and orders in one place
• Works for small shops that start on 500 orders a month

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you are on Starter: 1 user, 3 integrations and 2,500 products
• Pricey if you go over the order limit: €0.09 extra per order on Starter
• Watch out: picking, multiple warehouses and forecasting need Business at €239 a month
• Watch out: prices are in euros and the page does not say if VAT is included

Brightpearl

• No prices are published; the pricing page says cost is tailored and quoted after a demo.
• Unlimited users are included in the quote, per the vendor's pricing page.
• Implementation averages about 120 days, so it suits planned migrations more than quick starts.
• The vendor aims at businesses of roughly £2m in revenue and up, and a quote is the only way to buy.

Stockpilot

• Prices are shown in euros, not dollars.
• Starter allows 3 integrations and 1 user; picking, multi-warehouse support and forecasting start at Business.
• Orders above the plan limit are charged per order, from €0.09 on Starter to €0.06 on Professional.
• The pricing page does not state a trial length or whether VAT is included.
