## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest first split: are you running your own warehouse, or paying someone else to run one? Those are different products, and most "best WMS" lists blur them. Here's how I'd rank them.
> 
> ## If you run your own warehouse
> 
> **1. ShipHero WMS** - my default recommendation for a DTC brand with one or two warehouses. It's built for exactly this shape of business (Shopify-native, pick-path optimization, mobile scanning, real carrier rates at the pack station), the pricing is unusually transparent for this category, and it's the one system where you can start on their outsourced fulfillment and later bring the warehouse in-house without changing software. That optionality is worth a lot when you're not sure what your ops look like in two years.

> 
> **2. Logiwa** - where I'd go instead if you're genuinely high volume. It's purpose-built for 50,000+ orders/month across three or more locations, with rule-based order routing (by SKU, destination, ship method) and robotics support. Starter is around $200/mo, Growth around $500/mo,
