## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Zoho Inventory is the cheap, capable pick for a small business selling in a shop and online: Standard is $29 a month billed yearly for 500 orders, 3 users, 2 locations and a Shopify store. It syncs with Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify and prints shipping labels. The catch is that barcodes, stock counts and batch tracking start on Premium.

- **Value for money: A.** Standard covers a shop plus an online store at $29 a month billed yearly ($39 monthly): 500 orders a month, 3 users, 2 locations and 1 Shopify store. That's well under what this category usually charges, though barcodes and stock counts need Premium at $79.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free for 50 orders a month, 1 user and 1 location, with composite items, dropshipping and one Shopify store. Fine for a side hustle, but a shop and an online store will pass 50 orders a month quickly, and there are no barcodes.
- **Features: B.** Marketplace and store sync, several warehouses with bins, sales and purchase orders, backorders, dropshipping, shipping labels, and barcodes with serial and batch tracking. That's the whole job, though barcodes, stock counts and batches start on Premium.
- **Ease of use: A.** 4.75 from 1,029 App Store ratings, just into the top band. It also works with Zoho Books and Zoho CRM if you already use them.
- **Platforms and integrations: A.** Web, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online, Xero and carriers like UPS, USPS and FedEx. That's the full spread.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Zoho Inventory you would be making discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.4 is higher than 11 of the 11 other inventory management tools we grade. It costs $348 a year.

- You could make: Inventory: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: Scanning barcodes with a phone camera or a scanner.
- You could not: Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Amazon, eBay and Etsy among them.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
