## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. inFlow is a solid all-rounder for wholesalers, distributors and installers: stock across locations, sales orders through to invoices, purchasing and barcode scanning from ordinary phones, on web, Windows, iPhone and Android. Lite starts at $99 a month billed yearly, but lot numbers, the API and the B2B portal are add-ons there, and every bigger plan needs a $499 onboarding package.

- **Value for money: C.** For a shop and an online store, Lite does it: $99 a month billed yearly ($129 monthly) for 2 team members, 1 location and unlimited integrations. Right in the middle of this category. A second location is $39 a month more, and Core jumps to $299 plus $499 onboarding.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, just a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Long enough to scan in some stock and connect your store before paying.
- **Features: B.** Stock across locations, sales orders to invoices, purchase orders with reorder points, barcode scanning, lots and serials, and a B2B portal. The whole stock-control job, though lots, serials and the portal are $39 add-ons on lower plans, and makers need the separate inFlow Manufacturing.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You'll import products, set up locations and connect your store and accounting, and every plan above Lite requires a $499 onboarding package.
- **Platforms and integrations: A.** Web, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Etsy, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Zapier, plus an API ($49 a month on lower plans). That's the full spread.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of inFlow you could make: inventory, invoicing and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 9 of the 11 other inventory management tools we grade. It costs $1,188 a year.

- You could make: Inventory, invoicing and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- You could not: Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, Amazon and WooCommerce among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
