Here's who I'd actually name, in order:\n\n**1. Inventory Planner by Sage** - The default answer for DTC/ecommerce. Deepest Shopify/BigCommerce/WooCommerce integrations, solid forecasting with seasonality and promo handling, purchase order generation, and multi-warehouse/multi-channel support. The catch: no self-serve pricing, roughly $120-250/mo for 1 warehouse and 1,000 SKUs, +$80/mo per extra warehouse and +$15/mo per additional 1,000 SKUs, and a 12-month contract. At 2 warehouses and 4,000 SKUs it realistically becomes a $7K-15K+/year line item.\n\n**2. Prediko** - Best value for Shopify-native brands and my pick if you're under ~$20M GMV. AI demand + supply planning, raw-material/component planning (rare at this price), POs, and transparent GMV-tiered pricing from about $49/mo. Much lower friction than Inventory Planner and no annual lock-in at entry tiers.\n\n**3. Cogsy** - Flat $199/mo for 12-month forecasting, replenishment alerts, and PO workflows. Pick this if you want predictable pricing and a clean, opinionated workflow rat", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
