## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-08 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The right answer depends almost entirely on your revenue and channel mix, so here's how I'd order it:
> 
> **For most Shopify-first stores (under ~$10M/yr)**
> 
> 1. **Inventory Planner (by Sage)** - my default recommendation. It's the most established option for ecommerce forecasting (~2,600+ Shopify-centric brands), does replenishment, PO generation, and seasonality well, and integrates with basically everything. Starts around $120/month for single-warehouse Shopify; above the entry tier it's a custom quote based on GMV and SKU count, which can run $3.6K-$7K+/yr for a $15M brand.
> 2. **Cogsy** - better than Inventory Planner if you're a smaller DTC brand that cares about cash-flow-aware purchasing, backorders, and 12-month revenue scenario planning. Around $199/month. Weak spot: multi-warehouse and multichannel, which brands tend to outgrow.
> 3. **Prediko** - AI-native and built specifically for Shopify/D2C. Cheapest serious option (roughly $47-$70/month tiers), good if you want forecasting + PO management without a big implementation. Less proven than the two above.
> 
> **If you're multichannel (Amazon, wholesale, retail, several 3PLs)**
> 
> 4. **Flieber** - purpose-built for omnichannel demand
