One caveat up front: a lot of the comparison content in this space is written *by* the vendors about their competitors, so treat the rankings you'll find (including some of my sources below) with suspicion and demo before committing.\n\n**If you're a Shopify store doing roughly $1M-$20M - start here**\n\n1. **Inventory Planner by Sage** - still the default recommendation and the one I'd shortlist first. Best-in-class forecasting engine, broad integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, BigCommerce, most 3PLs), and mature purchase-order workflows.

From ~$49/mo. Best pick if Shopify is your only real channel and you want something running this week.\n3. **Cogsy** - for DTC brands that plan inventory off revenue targets rather than ", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
