Which one is for you

Pick Linnworks if

  • Fits if you sell on Amazon, eBay, Walmart and TikTok Shop and keep overselling
  • Works for orders that need routing to different warehouses or 3PLs by rule

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, as it's quote only
  • Not for you if you make your own products, as the listing shows no materials or production tracking
  • Tight if your orders spike, since tiers are set by monthly orders and overages apply above them
  • Pricey if you want listing tools, the WMS or forecasting, as each is priced on top, plus a one-off onboarding fee
  • Watch out: SkuVault Core is sold only in North America, and there's no desktop or phone app

Pick Mintsoft if

  • Fits if you ship a steady flow of orders and want warehouse, stock and carriers in one tool
  • Works for a 3PL that needs a client portal and client billing

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you want a price in dollars or a trial, since neither is listed
  • Pricey if you add users or orders, because the fee follows both
  • Tight if you need order rules or batch scheduling, which are paid modules
  • Watch out: white-labelling and advanced analytics cost extra too
  • Watch out: the pricing page does not say how the fee is billed

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.
