StockTake Online does stock counts, ordering, recipes and gross profit reports for restaurants, with POS and accounting links and iOS and Android apps. No prices are published, and it is no use for retail or warehouse stock. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published; the vendor quotes by locations, operation type and features, which puts it in the middle. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no self-serve trial; the vendor offers a personalised demo. - **Features: C.** Counts, goods receiving, recipes, gross profit, transfers and POS links do the hospitality job, but it is a narrow job and a poor fit for retail. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating is on record, and you set up recipes and connect a POS before the numbers mean anything. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus iOS and Android apps, with Toast, Lightspeed, Aloha and Xero links. No computer app is on record. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from StockTake Online's own pages on 12 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/inventory ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** The plain part of StockTake Online you could make: inventory and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 72 other inventory management tools grade higher. - You could make: Inventory and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Toast, Lightspeed and Aloha EPOS among them, and has an API. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Toast, Lightspeed, Aloha EPOS, HubRise, Xero, PaperChase **Tags:** Inventory, Reports, Public API ## Alternatives - [MarketMan](https://toolgpa.com/tools/marketman): Inventory, ordering and recipe costing for restaurants.
