Stocky alternatives, honestly compared
With Stocky retiring on August 31, 2026, every store that used it for purchasing needs a new home. We build one of the options below, so read this knowing that — we've tried to be straight about who each tool is actually for, including when it isn't us.
| Tool | Pricing | Best for | Skip it if |
|---|---|---|---|
| OrderPoint | $19/mo flat, 14-day trial | Stocky-sized stores that want reorder suggestions, POs, receiving, and supplier management — without learning a forecasting platform. Has a dedicated Stocky CSV importer. | You need multi-warehouse planning, raw materials/BOM, or deep forecasting models. We don't do those (yet, or possibly ever). |
| Prediko | ~$49–349/mo (scales with GMV) | DTC brands past ~$500k–1M GMV that want AI demand forecasting, a 12-month PO calendar, and raw-material tracking. Polished product, strong reviews. | You're price-sensitive or small — the GMV ladder climbs fast, and the depth is wasted on a 200-SKU store. |
| Fabrikatör | From ~$99/mo | Growing stores that also need backorders and bundle-component planning alongside forecasting and POs. | $99/mo is a lot if you only need reorder points and POs. |
| Assisty | Free tier; ~$19–239/mo | Analytics lovers: 300+ prebuilt reports, Google Sheets integration, strong forecasting on the higher tiers. | You want purchasing workflow at the entry price — POs and forecasting unlock at ~$59/mo, and the report depth can overwhelm. |
| Inventory Planner (Sage) | Quote-based; commonly $3.6k–10k+/yr | Mid-market and multichannel operations (500+ SKUs, Amazon + wholesale + retail) needing open-to-buy budgeting and 200+ metrics. | You're a single-channel Shopify store; reviewers also report steep renewals and contract lock-in under Sage. |
| Spreadsheets | Free (allegedly) | Tiny catalogs (<30 SKUs) with one supplier and a calm ordering rhythm. Genuinely fine at that size. | The moment you forget to update it once, it's fiction. Stockouts cost more than any app here. |
The honest decision rule
- You used Stocky for POs and "what should I order?" → OrderPoint. That's exactly the 80% we rebuilt, at roughly what you'd pay for two coffees.
- You've outgrown that (multi-warehouse, BOM, $1M+ GMV) → Prediko or Fabrikatör; pick by whether backorders matter to you.
- You're an operations team, not a store → Inventory Planner, and negotiate the renewal in writing.
Whatever you choose: export your Stocky data now — the migration checklist covers it step by step. After August 31 there's no going back for it.
