Inventory Planner by Sage** - My default recommendation for most serious online stores. It's the strongest pure forecasting layer in this category (9.4/10 on forecasting in G2's scoring vs. 7.1 for Cin7 Core), handles multi-warehouse, Amazon, wholesale and 3PL properly, and it's unusually good at cold-start forecasting for new products - the thing most tools fail at. ~$250/month, and it typically pays back in 2-5 months at $5M revenue because implementation friction is near zero. Best fit above roughly $10M, but works well below that too.\n\n**2. Cogsy** - The one I'd name for a Shopify-first DTC brand under ~$10M. Starts at $199/month, does 12-month demand forecasting tied directly to PO generation and backorder handling, which is the actual daily workflow for a single-channel brand. Skip it if you're running multi-warehouse or heavy omnichannel - that's its known weak spot.\n\n**3. Prediko** - The budget-sane AI-native option at $49/month.
