- **Assemblies and manufacturing:** Assemblies on every plan, contract manufacturing from Plus, and work orders, job costing and process manufacturing on Pro.

- Small manufacturers that need work orders and job costing
- Distributors tracking serial or lot numbers across warehouses

## Worth knowing

- It is built around QuickBooks Online and lists compatibility with the Essentials, Plus and Advanced plans.
- Extra users cost $25 a month each ($250 a year on annual plans), and external connections such as Shopify cost $25 a month each.
- Companion is limited to one location and has no serial or lot tracking or barcoding.
- The native app is for iPhone and iPad; no Android app is listed.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. SOS Inventory adds what QuickBooks Online lacks: sales orders, partial shipments, pick tickets, serials and lots, several locations and assemblies, all synced back to your books. It's fairly priced for that, but a store connection costs extra, the entry plan has one location and no barcodes, and the only phone app is for iPhone.

- **Value for money: C.** Companion is $699.50 a year billed yearly ($69.95 monthly) for 2 users and one location, and an online store connection like Shopify is $25 a month on top. That lands in the middle of this category, and it's built for people already paying for QuickBooks Online.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, just a 14-day free trial to see how it fits with your QuickBooks Online books before you pay.
- **Features: B.** Sales orders, partial shipments and invoices, pick tickets, serial and lot tracking, unlimited locations, assemblies, work orders and job costing, with FIFO, LIFO or average costing. The whole job, though serials, barcodes, pick tickets and extra locations need Plus.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It runs alongside QuickBooks Online, so you'll connect that and set up items, locations and forms before it pays off.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and iPhone or iPad, with no Android app listed. It connects to QuickBooks Online, ShipStation, UPS and Zapier, and to Shopify, BigCommerce and PayPal as $25-a-month connections.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of SOS Inventory 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 costs $839.40 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: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, Shopify and BigCommerce among them.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
