## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-21 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in order of how often they're the right answer for an online store. One timely note first: Shopify is sunsetting **Stocky**, its free built-in inventory/PO app, on August 31, 2026 - so if you're relying on that, you need a replacement rather than an upgrade.
> 
> **1. Inventory Planner by Sage** - the default pick for established stores. Velocity-based forecasting, seasonality, lead-time variance, and automated PO generation across multiple channels and warehouses. It's the one I'd name if you're past ~$10M revenue or have Amazon, wholesale, 3PL, or multi-warehouse in the mix. Starts around $249.99/mo and scales well into five figures annually.
> 
> **2. Prediko** - the best Shopify-native option for small-to-mid DTC brands. Forecasting is wired directly into purchasing workflows (smart POs, restock alerts), and it handles raw materials as well as finished goods, which matters if you manufacture. Starts around $49/mo, so it's the cheapest serious entry point.
> 
> **3. Cogsy** - pick this over Inventory Planner if you're a sub-$10M Shopify-first brand and cash is your binding constraint. Its real differentiator isn't forecast accuracy, it's cash-flow
