Which one is for you
Pick inFlow if
- Fits if you sell to trade customers and want an ordering portal for them
- Works for stock kept in vans and on job sites as well as in the warehouse
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you need lot numbers, serials or the API, which are add-ons below Pro or Max
- Not for you if you make products from materials, as bills of materials need inFlow Manufacturing from $169 a month
- Tight if your team grows, since Lite has 2 team members and extras are $29 a month each
- Tight if you have a second site, as Lite has 1 location and each extra is $39 a month
- Pricey if you move up from Lite, as Core is $299 a month plus a one-time $499 onboarding package
Pick Megaventory if
- Fits if you run a small team that needs stock, orders and a bit of assembly in one place
- Works for sellers who want a flat price for 5 users instead of a per-seat bill
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if your team is bigger than 5, since every extra user is $45 a month
- Tight if you grow past 50k transactions a month, because each extra 25k block is $45 more
- Skip it if you want a free plan: only a 15-day trial is listed, and its card rules are not stated
- Watch out: the $135 figure is the annual rate, paying monthly is $150, and Enterprise has no published price
- Watch out: training is mostly an extra, with just 2 hours in Pro

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
