How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CFree outright but only if you host it yourself, which needs a server and someone to look after it, so it stays at the ordinary grade.

The listing shows no gap in the core work of stock tracking. | CProduction planning, stock, purchasing and costing are there, but barcode scanning and multiple stocks need Enterprise, and the API needs Unlimited. |
| Ease of use | DYou deploy and maintain it yourself, which means a server, updates and reading the docs. No store rating is on record. | CNo store rating on record; you build products, bills of materials and routings before it is useful. |

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.
