Best for small firms that scan barcodes to track stock
Wasp Inventory tracks stock by site and bin with mobile barcode scanning, reorder alerts, pick orders and reports, in the cloud or on your own server. It starts at $108 a month for one user, and the ecommerce link is an extra.
Who Wasp Barcode is for
- Fits if you scan barcodes and keep stock in bins or several rooms
- Works for firms that want the software on their own server
Who Wasp Barcode is not for
- Pricey if you add people, since every extra user is $17 a month on Basic and $22 on Complete
- Tight if you sell online: the ecommerce integration is $1,395 a year and ShipStation is another yearly add-on
- Skip it if you want monthly billing, because the FAQ says it is annual only
- Watch out: multiple warehouses and stores come only with Complete or Enterprise
- Watch out: onboarding is optional but costs $790 for cloud or $1,290 on your own server

Keep it
The plain part of Wasp Barcode you could make: inventory and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $1,296 a year.
What you could make
- Inventory 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.
- It plugs into other products, ShipStation among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Wasp Barcode’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.
