EZOfficeInventory vs Sortly (2026): which should you pick?

Pick EZOfficeInventory if

• Fits if you track equipment, tools and stock and need to know who has what
• Works for offices and schools that want barcode or QR labels on shared kit

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if your count grows, since the price is for 500 items and rises with the item count
• Watch out: work orders and technicians need the CMMS add-on, priced per admin user
• Watch out: offline mode and dispatch are Enterprise only
• Skip it if you sell across online channels, as it is built around assets and checkouts

Pick Sortly if

• Fits if you're a contractor or facilities team keeping track of tools and kit
• Works for checking equipment out to people or jobs and getting it back

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you sell online, as there are no store or marketplace connections
• Pricey if you budget on the first-year deal, since the 50% off yearly ends after year one and renewals get 20% off
• Tight if more than two of you need it, as Advanced allows only 2 users and 500 items
• Pricey if you need purchase orders (Ultra, $149 a month), QuickBooks (Premium, $299) or the API (Enterprise only)
• Watch out: the 14-day trial of paid plans needs a credit card
