## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-14 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The right answer depends mostly on your size, because "supply chain planning" means something very different at $2M revenue vs. $200M. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking:
> 
> **For a Shopify/DTC store (roughly $1M-$50M)**
> 
> 1. **Inventory Planner by Sage** - the safest default and the one most established DTC brands land on. Strongest at the core job: forecast by SKU, account for seasonality and lead times, spit out purchase orders. Deep Shopify integration, plus Amazon/multi-warehouse. Starts around $120/mo and goes quote-only above that, which is the main gripe.
> 2. **Prediko** - the best-rated Shopify-native option right now (4.9 stars, 200+ reviews), cheaper entry (~$49/mo), and faster to set up. It also handles raw-material/component planning, which Inventory Planner doesn't do well. Pick this over Inventory Planner if you're Shopify-only and want to be live this week.
> 3. **Cogsy** - worth a look if you're growth-stage and care about the *financial* side of planning: cash tied up in inventory, what a stockout costs you, scenario planning for a launch. ~$199/mo, no free tier. More opinionated and forward-looking than the other two.
> 4. **Fabrikatör
