Here's what I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**If you're a Shopify brand (most online stores)**\n\n1. **Prediko** - my default recommendation. It's the tool Shopify itself points merchants toward as the Stocky replacement, pricing is transparent (~$49-$349/mo by revenue) with every feature on every plan - unlimited SKUs, users, POs, AI forecasting, BOM/raw materials, multi-location transfers. Best forecasting-to-purchasing loop for a lean team, and it's the highest-rated of this group on the Shopify App Store.\n2. **Inventory Planner (Sage)** - the mature, heavier option. Better if you're multi-channel, have a big catalog, or already live in the Sage/Brightpearl ecosystem. Downside: no public pricing, you have to go through sales, and it's more analyst-oriented than plug-and-play.\n3. **Cogsy** - worth it specifically if you want *scenario* planning rather than a forecast line: what happens to your stock position if growth accelerates, a SKU goes viral, or a supplier slips. ~$199/mo, no free tier,", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
