Inventory Planner (by Sage)** - the default incumbent for Shopify/BigCommerce/WooCommerce brands. Mature forecasting, good PO workflows, handles seasonality and multi-warehouse, and the vendor risk is low. Published entry tier is $119.99/mo (Essentials) with higher tiers custom-quoted on GMV/SKU count. Start here as your benchmark.\n\n**2. Prediko** - the strongest challenger to Inventory Planner for Shopify-first brands, and usually the better pick if you need raw materials/BOM support (common for supplements, apparel, cosmetics). $49-$349/mo by revenue, with unlimited SKUs/users/POs on every plan, which makes it cheaper than IP at scale. Caveat: much of the comparison content ranking for these queries is Prediko's own marketing, so demo it rather than trusting the roundups.\n\n**3. Cogsy** - pick this if your pain is *forward* planning, not stock control: restock strategies, cash-flow-aware purchasing, scenario views (\"what if we grow 40%?\").
