Loyverse vs Sortly (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Loyverse if

• Fits if you run a shop or cafe and want a free till with stock counts
• Works for small multi-store owners watching cost

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you need reports older than 31 days, as longer history is $5 a store a month
• Watch out: purchase orders and stock transfers need the $25 a store advanced inventory add-on
• Not for you if you hold stock without selling at a counter, because stock tracking is lighter than in dedicated tools
• Pricey if you add staff, since employee management is billed per employee

Pick Sortly if

• Fits if you're a contractor or facilities team keeping track of tools and kit
• Works for checking equipment out to people or jobs and getting it back

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you sell online, as there are no store or marketplace connections
• Pricey if you budget on the first-year deal, since the 50% off yearly ends after year one and renewals get 20% off
• Tight if more than two of you need it, as Advanced allows only 2 users and 500 items
• Pricey if you need purchase orders (Ultra, $149 a month), QuickBooks (Premium, $299) or the API (Enterprise only)
• Watch out: the 14-day trial of paid plans needs a credit card

Loyverse

• The free plan shows only the last 31 days of sales reports; longer history costs $5 per store a month.
• Purchase orders, stock transfers and deeper inventory insight need the $25 per store Advanced inventory add-on.
• Employee management is billed per employee, so cost grows with staff size.
• It is a point-of-sale system first; stock tracking for a business that does not sell at a counter is lighter than dedicated inventory software.

Sortly

• The yearly discount shown on the pricing page is 50% for the first year only; yearly plans then renew with a 20% discount off the monthly rate.
• Each plan caps unique items and users: 500 and 2 on Advanced, 2,000 and 5 on Ultra, 5,000 and 8 on Premium.
• The API, webhooks and single sign-on are on Enterprise only, and QuickBooks Online starts on Premium.
• Its integrations list has no online store or marketplace connections; it is built for tracking stock on hand rather than selling it.
