Cin7
Inventory software for wholesale and multichannel product sellers
Cin7 report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for brands selling in stores, marketplaces and wholesale
Cin7 puts your own store, marketplaces, wholesale and retail on one stock count, with unlimited locations, assemblies with batch tracking and phone apps for the warehouse. It starts at $349 a month, though, and API access, point of sale and the B2B portal all cost extra, so it's priced for businesses already moving real volume.
Who Cin7 is for
- Great if you sell through your own store, marketplaces and wholesale all at once
- Handy when you assemble kits or bundles and need batch or expiry tracking
- Good for growing brands that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't want an ERP
Who Cin7 is not for
- Pricey if you're a single shop, as Standard starts at $349 a month
- Tight if you sell on several channels, since Standard includes only 2 store or app connections
- Skip it if you need the API or point of sale without paying for add-ons
Why Cin7 gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStandard is $349 a month for 5 users, 2 store or app connections and 6,000 sales orders a year; the page doesn't say if that's billed monthly or yearly. A shop and an online store fit, but it's at the dear end of this category, and API access and point of sale are add-ons.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial from a sign-up form, and the listing doesn't mention a card. Every plan button on the pricing page books a demo, though.
- BFeaturesStock and orders across stores, marketplaces, wholesale and retail, unlimited locations, purchasing, bills of materials with batch, serial and expiry tracking, and warehouse apps. That covers the whole job; MRP waits for Pro and AI forecasting is a paid add-on.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You'll connect a store and your accounting, set up locations and assemblies, and the plans are sold through a demo, so plan on a proper setup.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, QuickBooks Online, Xero and ShipStation. No desktop app, and the API is a paid add-on.

Keep Cin7, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Cin7 you could make: inventory. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $4,188 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Cin7’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
