Flieber vs Lokad (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Flieber if

• Fits if you sell on Shopify or Amazon and want forecasts to drive reorders
• Works for brands that want a hands-off planning service

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you need an order or warehouse system, as it only plans
• Watch out: assisted integrations such as ERP and 3PL links start on a paid plan
• Pricey if you want Managed Services, which is quoted per brand
• Watch out: no price is shown until after onboarding

Pick Lokad if

• Fits if you want an outside team to build your forecasting
• Works for large catalogues with heavy supply chain decisions

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a self-serve app, as it is a managed project
• Skip it if you want a price, because none is published
• Skip it if you run a small stockroom
• Watch out: in-house modelling means learning the Envision language
• Skip it if you want to try free, as no trial is listed

Flieber

• No price is published. Self-Serve is priced by features enabled and data volume, shown after onboarding; Managed Services is quoted per brand.
• Assisted integrations, such as ERP and 3PL links, are not available during the free trial and start on a paid plan.
• Flieber plans inventory but is not an order or warehouse system, so it needs one alongside it.

Lokad

• No prices are published; it is sold through a demo and a project implementation with Lokad's team.
• It is a managed engagement, not a self-serve app you configure alone.
• Customers who want to model in-house must learn Lokad's Envision language.
