The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $108 a month for 1 user billed annually, between the $49 and $349 that bound most inventory tools. Extra users are $17. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free cloud trial with all features is offered, but you set it up by contacting Wasp, its length is not stated and there is no free plan. |
| Features | C | Scanning, bins, reorder points, pick orders and reports are covered, but the ecommerce integration is a paid add-on and multi-site tracking needs Complete. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating is on record, and barcode labels, scanners and locations take setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android, but the only integration listed is ShipStation. No computer app is on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Warehouses and stockrooms that count and pick with barcode scanners
- Small teams that want to start with one user and add more
- Businesses that want an on-premise option instead of cloud only
Worth knowing

- The ecommerce integration is a $1,395-a-year add-on and the ShipStation integration is a separate yearly add-on.
- Onboarding is optional and costs $790 for cloud, or $1,290 for an on-premise installation.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
