Inventory Planner (by Sage)** - The default, and the one I'd look at first. It's the most mature product in this category, handles forecasting, replenishment, purchase orders, and multi-warehouse, and connects to Shopify, Amazon, and most 3PLs. Pricing is quote-based and gets expensive at scale - reported base around $120-$250/mo for one warehouse and 1,000 SKUs, plus ~$80/mo per extra warehouse and ~$15/mo per additional 1,000 SKUs, often on a 12-month contract. ([prediko.io](https://www.prediko.io/inventory-planner-alternatives), [eightx.co](https://eightx.co/blog/inventory-planner-vs-cogsy-forecasting))\n\n**2. Prediko** - The one I'd recommend if you want fast time-to-value without an enterprise sales cycle. Real-time Shopify sync, per-SKU revenue and unit forecasts, and one-click POs out of those forecasts. Cheapest credible option at roughly $49-$119/mo, and it has the strongest review record in the category.
