Lokad vs Streamline (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Lokad if

• Fits if you want an outside team to build your forecasting
• Works for large catalogues with heavy supply chain decisions

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want a self-serve app, as it is a managed project
• Skip it if you want a price, because none is published
• Skip it if you run a small stockroom
• Watch out: in-house modelling means learning the Envision language
• Skip it if you want to try free, as no trial is listed

Pick Streamline if

• Fits if you run a mid-sized maker or distributor and want orders written back to your ERP
• Works for teams that want forecasting and MRP in one tool

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price on the page, as none is published
• Skip it if you are a small shop, since it is pitched at medium and large firms
• Watch out: setup depends on connecting your source system by API, ODBC or files
• Watch out: no free plan or trial is shown

Lokad

• No prices are published; it is sold through a demo and a project implementation with Lokad's team.
• It is a managed engagement, not a self-serve app you configure alone.
• Customers who want to model in-house must learn Lokad's Envision language.

Streamline

• No price is published: the pricing page asks buyers to share details so a specialist can reply.
• The platform is pitched at medium and large enterprises, so a small shop may find it more than it needs.
• Data connects by API, ODBC, spreadsheet or database, so setup depends on the customer's source system.
