The best Stocky alternatives for Shopify
— with prices that are actually correct
Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026. Here are the apps that replace it, ordered by entry price, every figure taken from the vendor's own pricing page or App Store listing and linked so you can check it.
Prices verified July 14, 2026
We make one of these apps. Alfred is ours. We've put it in its price position like everything else, said plainly what it doesn't do, and named the apps that beat it — Sumtracker if you sell multi-channel, Monocle for the smartest forecasting, Supremo if you want to pay nothing.
We wrote this because the existing comparisons are bad. Every page currently ranking for “best Stocky alternatives” is published by an app vendor ranking itself first, by an agency carrying an undisclosed affiliate link, or by a press site that takes payment for coverage. And because they copy prices from each other rather than from vendors, the prices are wrong — Monocle is listed at $47 across the web when it costs $67, and Google's AI summary repeats it. Being right is the only thing that makes this page worth reading.
Stocky alternatives compared
The column that matters most is the last one. Several of these advertise a low entry price and then put purchase orders and forecasting — the actual Stocky workflow — two tiers up.
| App | Entry price | Best at | Watch out for | POs + forecastingon the entry plan? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SupremoApp Store listing | Free / $19Real free tier (100 products, 2,000 variants). All features on every tier. | The smallest stores, and anyone who wants to pay nothing. Transparent, published reorder-point formula. | Launched June 2026 with a handful of reviews — genuinely unproven. Capped on products and variants. | Yes |
| StockfulApp Store listing | $19.992,000 SKUs, then +$5 per 500. Two years of history. | Inventory reporting and daily per-location snapshots — Shopify itself only retains 180 days. | Read-only. It does not write stock back to Shopify and it does not raise purchase orders. It is an analytics layer, not a Stocky replacement. | No |
| AssistyApp Store listing | $19Free tier exists (6 months of history). | Cheap, deep reporting and replenishment lists. Much the largest review base here. | Purchase orders and AI forecasting are gated to the $239/mo tier. The $19 plan is reporting — not the Stocky workflow. | No |
| Alfred Purchase Ordersour appApp Store listing | $29Free to install. $29 / $49 / $69 / $99 by store size. Every feature on every plan. | The whole Stocky loop at the entry price: forecasting, purchase planning, POs, receiving, stocktakes, suppliers, transfers, multi-location min/max. No POS Pro. Imports Stocky POs by CSV. | We build this one — see the disclosure above. It is Shopify-only by design: no Amazon/eBay sync, no bill-of-materials, no WMS. If you need those, buy elsewhere. | Yes |
| Sensible ForecastingVendor pricing page | $29Flat. No tiers, no SKU caps, 30-day trial. | The simplest possible answer to 'what do I reorder, and when'. Flat pricing that never scales against you. | Narrow by design — reorder timing and quantities. Not a purchasing, receiving or supplier system. | No |
| PredikoApp Store listing | $49$49 only up to $100K/yr revenue, then $119, then $199. | The best-rated app in this category, and the full feature set is on every tier — forecasting, POs, raw materials and BOMs. | The revenue bands are tight. At $100K annualized you are already on $119. Ignore the claim doing the rounds that Shopify 'officially recommends' it — Shopify's own docs recommend no app at all. | Yes |
| SumtrackerApp Store listing | $59Capped at 2,500 orders/yr. | Multi-channel stock sync and bundles — Shopify plus Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart, across up to 20 stores. If you sell in more than one place, this is the strongest option here. | Purchase orders and forecasting are NOT in the $59 plan — that is the $99 Replenish tier. The real comparison price is $99. | No |
| MonocleApp Store listing | $67Revenue-capped tiers (entry up to ~$360K/yr). | The smartest forecasting idea in the field: it corrects for stockouts, so a product that sold zero because it was unavailable doesn't drag its own forecast down. Offers a free Stocky migration that includes suppliers. | Wants 20+ SKUs and 12 months of history to work well. Most roundups still list it at $47 — that price is out of date. | Yes |
| FabrikatörApp Store listing | $99Plus $0.75 per backorder past 50/month. | Forecasting plus PO automation with genuinely good backorder and pre-order handling — rare, and valuable if you sell ahead of stock. | The highest common entry price, and the per-backorder fee compounds. Most roundups still say $79. | Yes |
| QoblexApp Store listing | $99Add-ons stack: +$20/mo per extra channel, +$20/mo API, +$49/mo B2B. Onboarding billed hourly. | Inventory, orders, light manufacturing, B2B and Xero/QuickBooks in one system. A step toward an ERP without being one. | The sticker price is not the price. Listicles quote $79; the listing says $99, and the add-ons move fast. | Yes |
| Inventory Planner by SageVendor pricing page | Quote onlySage publishes no price — neither its pricing page nor its App Store listing states one. | Enterprise depth, multi-channel, unlimited users, serious integrations. The most established name here. | You cannot find out what it costs without talking to sales. The '$119.99/mo' figure repeated across other roundups appears nowhere on Sage's own site — we will not print a number we cannot source. | Yes |
Star ratings and review counts are deliberately left out — they change weekly, and a number that rots is worse than no number. Check the App Store listing linked in each row.
Stocky was never free — and that changes the whole comparison
Merchants keep saying “Stocky was free, and now I have to pay for a replacement.” It wasn't. The app cost nothing, but it required a Shopify POS Pro subscription — around $89/month per location. That was the price of the Stocky workflow; it was just filed under a different line item.
So the real question isn't “how much extra will this cost me” — it's whether a replacement costs more or less than the ~$89/month you were already spending. Several apps on this list, ours included, cost less.
Apps you'll be shown that aren't really Stocky replacements
These are good products solving different problems. Other roundups pad their lists with them; you'll waste a demo if you don't know going in.
inFlow Inventory
$161/moA full standalone inventory system, not a Shopify-embedded app. Separate login, separate data model. Entry plan is 2 users / 1,200 orders a year.
GoodDay
$1,000/moAn AI-native retail ERP. Two orders of magnitude above this field, and demo-gated. A fine product; not a Stocky swap.
SKUSavvy
$179/moA warehouse management system — bin locations, pick/pack/ship, cycle counts. Solves a different problem than demand planning.
Stocksmith (was Craftybase)
from $49/moBuilt for makers and small-batch manufacturers: materials, COGS, batch traceability. Mid-rebrand from Craftybase. Not a retail purchasing tool.
Where Alfred fits
Alfred is $29/month, free to install, and every feature is on every plan — forecasting, purchase planning, purchase orders, receiving, stocktakes, suppliers, transfers, multi-location min/max. No POS Pro. It imports your Stocky purchase orders by CSV.
The honest case for it: it is the Stocky workflow, whole, at the entry price, inside Shopify admin. Most of the field either costs more, or puts the purchasing half of that workflow on a higher tier.
The honest case against it: we only do Shopify. No Amazon or eBay sync — buy Sumtracker. No bill-of-materials or manufacturing — buy Qoblex or Prediko. No warehouse management — buy SKUSavvy. And if all you want is a reorder list, Sensible does that for the same $29 and nothing else, which some people will prefer.
Stocky alternatives: FAQ
What is the best Stocky alternative?
There isn't one answer, and any page that gives you one is selling something. If you sell on more than one channel, Sumtracker is the strongest option. If you want the cleverest forecasting, Monocle corrects for stockouts in a way nothing else here does. If you want the simplest possible reorder tool, Sensible is $29 flat. If you want the full Stocky workflow — forecasting, POs, receiving, suppliers — at the entry price, that's what we built Alfred to do, at $29/month. And if you need an ERP or a warehouse system, none of these are right and you should look at Sage or inFlow.
What is the cheapest Stocky alternative?
Supremo has a genuinely free tier, and Assisty and Stockful start around $19–20 — but read what you get. Stockful is read-only and raises no purchase orders. Assisty puts POs and forecasting on its $239 tier. Sumtracker puts them on its $99 tier. Once you require purchase orders AND demand forecasting on the entry plan, the field narrows to Supremo (free, but brand new and product-capped), Alfred ($29) and Sensible ($29, forecasting only). Compare what's in the entry plan, not the entry price.
Is Stocky really shutting down?
Yes. Shopify's own Help Center states Stocky won't be available after August 31, 2026. It was pulled from the App Store on February 2, 2026, and key features — transfers, min/max forecasting — were removed back in July 2025. Shopify has confirmed historical purchase orders and stocktakes do not migrate to Admin, and that suppliers cannot be exported from Stocky at all.
Does Shopify recommend a Stocky replacement?
No. Shopify's transition documentation points merchants at native Shopify inventory features and names no replacement app. Any vendor claiming to be 'officially recommended by Shopify' as the Stocky successor is overstating it — we checked, and no such endorsement exists.
Why do other Stocky comparison pages show different prices?
Because they copy each other instead of checking. While researching this page we found the highest-ranking roundups listing Monocle at $47 (it is $67), Fabrikatör at $79 (it is $99), and Qoblex at $79 (it is $99) — and Google's AI Overview repeats those stale figures back to merchants as fact. Every price on this page came from the vendor's own pricing page or Shopify App Store listing, and each row links to its source so you can check us.
Was Stocky free?
Not really — and this is the comparison almost nobody makes. The Stocky app cost nothing, but it required a Shopify POS Pro subscription, roughly $89/month per location. So most merchants were already paying about $89/month for their inventory workflow. Several apps on this list cost less than that.
