## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Best" depends almost entirely on your size, so here's how I'd actually pick, cheapest/simplest first:
> 
> **If you're a Shopify/DTC brand doing roughly $1M-$50M**
> 
> 1. **Inventory Planner by Sage** - the default I'd recommend to most established stores. It's the most mature of the ecommerce-native forecasting tools, handles seasonality, multi-warehouse, purchase order generation, and open-to-buy budgeting. Deep Shopify/WooCommerce/Amazon integrations. It's the safe choice - not the flashiest, but rarely the wrong answer.
> 2. **Cogsy** - pick this over Inventory Planner if you're growing fast and want scenario planning ("what if we grow 40% next quarter?") and cash-flow-aware purchasing. It's built around planning months ahead rather than just replenishment, and the UX is friendlier for founders who aren't career planners.
> 3. **Prediko** - the best value at the small end (starts around $49/mo). AI-driven forecasting plus PO management, purpose-built for Shopify DTC. Good if Inventory Planner feels like overkill or overpriced for your SKU count.
> 4. **Fabrikatör** - worth a look if your main pain is stockouts and you want early low-stock signals plus built-in pre-order/backorder capture t

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
