Best for stock control around QuickBooks
HandiFox Online starts at $49 a month for 2 users on annual billing and covers barcoding, counting, purchasing and sales orders. The page labels its prices as a first-year offer ending August 1, users and devices are capped, and serial numbers and picking sit on the dearest plan.
Who HandiFox is for
- Fits if you run QuickBooks and want barcode scanning for stock
- Works for small warehouses that count and pick with phones
Who HandiFox is not for
- Skip it if you do not use QuickBooks, as the product is built around it
- Tight if you add staff, since Start has 2 users and 1 device and extras cost $15 and $40 a month
- Watch out: serial and lot numbers, pick and pack and the B2B portal are Pro only
- Watch out: the pricing page shows a first-year offer ending August 1 and no regular price
- Pricey if you use QuickBooks Desktop, because that is a separate $1,995 licence per mobile device

Keep HandiFox, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of HandiFox you could make: inventory, invoicing and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $588 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory, invoicing and reports: an app builder makes these 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.
What this rests on. HandiFox’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.
