InventoryIQ vs Stocky, Prediko & the other alternatives

Every app below is capable. The honest differentiator is what it optimizes for — features and pricing change often, so confirm current details on each app's Shopify listing before you commit.

What makes InventoryIQ different

  • Reorders ranked by ROI, not stockout date

    Every other tool answers "when will I run out?" InventoryIQ answers "where does my next dollar earn the most?" — purchase orders come out ranked by return under the cash you actually have.

  • Direct Stocky import

    Drag in two Stocky CSV exports and keep the planning data Stocky never writes back to Shopify: suppliers, unit costs, lead times, and your custom reorder points. No retyping, no starting from zero.

  • Read-only by design

    InventoryIQ never has write access to your live Shopify inventory and never touches customer PII. A planning tool should not be able to overwrite your stock.

  • Flat, catalog-based pricing

    Starter $39, Growth $99, Pro $249 per month — priced by catalog size, not revenue, with no POS Pro requirement. Every plan starts with a free trial.

  • Lightweight on purpose

    Not a warehouse ERP, not a 30-day implementation. A focused reorder + PO engine for Shopify stores under 2,000 SKUs (Amazon coming soon) — first recommendations usually within 10 minutes of connecting.

Where we're honestly not the fit: multi-warehouse ERP workflows, manufacturing/BOM, or catalogs well past 2,000 SKUs with a dedicated planning team — Inventory Planner's depth serves that better.

The alternatives, honestly

Stocky

Shopify's own app, bundled with POS Pro. It shuts down August 31, 2026 — and the planning data it keeps internally (suppliers, lead times, reorder points) never syncs back to Shopify. If you're still on it, the priority is exporting your data cleanly while it still runs.

Inventory Planner

One of the longest-standing replenishment tools in the ecosystem, with strong, configurable forecasting and deep reporting. The flip side: smaller stores can find it more tool than they need, and pricing scales with revenue.

Cogsy

Clean, opinionated demand planning and a tidy purchase-order process without a steep learning curve. A good landing spot for growing direct-to-consumer brands.

Prediko

A newer, Shopify-native entrant focused on quick onboarding and AI-assisted forecasting plus PO management — worth a look for single-channel Shopify stores that want something modern and fast.

Assisty

Strongest as a reporting and analytics layer, with replenishment recommendations built on top. A capable, affordable option if your main pain is getting the numbers out of Shopify.
