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 SoStocked if

- Works for sellers who want fee and profit planning next to stock
Look elsewhere if

- 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

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.
