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

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

Pick SoStocked if

• Fits if you sell on Amazon and plan reorders from forecasts
• Works for sellers who want fee and profit planning next to stock

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you sell mainly off Amazon: Shopify is named only where Amazon fulfils
• Watch out: the page shows one "starting at" price, so the cost for your catalogue is unclear
• Skip it if you want trial terms up front: no length is stated
• Tight if you sell outside the US: the overstock fees view is described for the US

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.

SoStocked

• Built around Amazon selling; the FAQ describes Shopify only where fulfillment goes through Amazon.
• The pricing page shows one "starting at" price and no plan limits, so confirm the cost for your catalog.
• The trial length and what it includes are not stated on the pages read.
• The overstock fees dashboard is described for the US market.
