Cin7 vs Inventory Planner (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Cin7 if

• Fits if you sell through your own store, marketplaces and wholesale at once
• Works for kits or bundles that need batch or expiry tracking

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're a single shop, as Standard starts at $349 a month
• Tight if you sell on several channels, since Standard includes only 2 store or app connections
• Skip it if you need the API, point of sale or B2B portal without paying for add-ons
• Pricey if you outgrow a plan, as more users, orders or connections cost extra, and MRP waits for Pro at $599
• Watch out: the pricing page doesn't say if prices are for monthly or yearly billing, and each plan books a demo

Pick Inventory Planner if

• Fits if you already run Shopify, Brightpearl or similar and need better reorder planning
• Works for teams with many SKUs to forecast

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to start this week, as go-live takes 5 to 6 weeks
• Skip it if you want a price, as it asks for a request
• Too light for an inventory system, since stock and orders live in another platform
• Skip it if you want to try free, as no trial is listed

Cin7

• Each plan caps users, yearly sales orders and ecommerce or app integrations; more of each costs extra through sales.
• API access, point of sale, the B2B portal, ForesightAI forecasting and premium support are paid add-ons on every Core plan.
• The pricing page does not say whether the monthly prices are for monthly or annual billing, and notes they are for new customers.
• Each plan's button books a demo rather than a checkout, and Cin7 Omni has no published price.

Inventory Planner

• No prices are published; the pricing page says cost is based on the volume of inventory managed and asks for a request.
• Unlimited users are included at no extra cost, per the pricing page.
• The vendor quotes 5 to 6 weeks to go live, so onboarding is not instant.
• It plans and generates purchasing; stock and orders are held in the connected platform.
