Best-in-class forecasting engine, connects to Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and most 3PLs, and generates purchase orders directly. It's the most mature tool in this bracket. Downside: pricing is now quote-only through Sage, and the UI shows its age.\n2. **Prediko** - my pick if you're Shopify-native and want something modern. Built end-to-end for Shopify, ties restock recommendations to lead times *and* your cash position, which matters more than forecast accuracy for most growing brands. ~$49/mo starting, 14-day trial. Much cheaper entry point than Inventory Planner.\n3. **Cogsy** - flat $199/mo, all features included. Worth it if you want inventory planning tied to revenue forecasting and scenario planning (\"what if we push this SKU in Q4\"). Good for DTC teams who plan in terms of growth targets, not just reorder points.\n4. **Sumtracker** - from ~$59/mo.
