Inventory Planner vs StockTrim (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 StockTrim if

• Fits if you already run an inventory system and want better reorder dates
• Works for small stores under $100K of revenue, where it costs $49 a month

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want one product that holds stock, since it only plans purchasing
• Pricey if you grow: the price follows revenue, and $5M to $10M is $373 a month
• Tight if you make things, because raw materials and multi-level BOMs cost extra
• Watch out: cancelling is done by emailing support, and an annual plan cannot go back to monthly until the term ends
• Watch out: onboarding under $5M of revenue is a paid package

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.

StockTrim

• It plans purchasing only; stock, orders and warehouse work stay in the connected system.
• The price follows annual revenue, so growth moves a customer up a step.
• Cancelling is done by emailing support, and an annual plan cannot be switched back to monthly until the term ends.
• Raw materials forecasting and multi-level BOMs cost extra, and dedicated onboarding under $5M revenue is a paid package.
