Here's who I'd actually name:\n\n## If you're a Shopify brand under ~$20M\n\n**1. Inventory Planner by Sage** - The default recommendation and the most mature option in this category. Deep forecasting, open-to-buy planning (set inventory budgets by month or retail week and purchase against them), multi-location, PO management. It's the one most brands graduate *to*, not away from. Starts around $29.99-$99/mo depending on order volume. Downside: the UI shows its age and it's more analyst-oriented than the newer tools.\n\n**2. Prediko** - My pick if you want Shopify-native and fast to set up. Lives inside your store, forecasts revenue and units per SKU, handles reorder suggestions and POs without a spreadsheet layer. Built for roughly $100k-$50M GMV brands that don't have a dedicated planner on staff. Published GMV-tiered pricing from ~$42-49/mo, which makes it easy to budget.\n\n**3. Cogsy** - Strongest for DTC brands that care about *cash*, not just units. Ties replenishment to working capital and runs scenario planning (\"what if we launch in March?\").
