Flowlity vs Netstock (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Flowlity if

• Fits if you are a mid-sized distributor or maker with an ERP and a stock planning problem
• Makes sense if you want forecasts that size safety stock

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
• Watch out: the trial's length and limits are not stated
• Watch out: a data feed to your ERP has to be set up first
• Too light for large store networks, by the vendor's own FAQ

Pick Netstock if

• Fits if you run a supported ERP and your buying is the problem
• Works for a company with a planner who will use the forecasts every week

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want one product that holds stock, since this only plans purchasing
• Pricey if you are small: $900 a month on an annual subscription is the floor
• Not for you if you need to start this month, because implementation runs 6 to 10 weeks
• Watch out: no plan-by-plan prices, a form decides the quote
• Watch out: it works only with ERPs it supports

Flowlity

• No prices are published and the vendor has no public pricing page; buyers book a demo.
• The vendor says the product connects to ERPs by API, SFTP or EDI, so a data feed has to be set up.
• Flowlity's own FAQ says it has less depth than RELEX in shelf-level merchandising for very large store networks.
• Some modules, such as assortment planning and the Co-Planner, are marked as new.

Netstock

• Pricing is by annual subscription and starts at $900 a month, so it is priced above small-seller tools.
• Implementation typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, per the vendor's FAQ.
• It plans purchasing only and needs a supported ERP or inventory system underneath.
• Exact quotes require filling in a form; no plan-by-plan prices are listed.
