Lokad produces probabilistic demand forecasts and replenishment decisions as a project with its own team. It publishes no price and is not a self-serve app, and doing the modelling yourself means learning its Envision language. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; it is sold through a demo and a project implementation. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial on record in the listing, and a money-back guarantee would not count as one. - **Features: C.** Probabilistic forecasts, replenishment, industry modules, pricing and assortment. It is a managed engagement, not a tool you configure alone. - **Ease of use: D.** No store rating on record. Modelling in-house means learning the Envision language, which counts as code. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no integrations or apps on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. - You could make: Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
