How much does inventory software for multichannel sellers and wholesalers cost?

Each price is from the company's own pricing page on the date shown, in its own currency; we do not convert. A page we could not read is marked could not read, and a page that asks for a quote is marked quote only. Prices can differ by country.

• 3 of the 7 we could read charge per user, or for extra users, on at least one plan, so the price grows with the team.
• 3 of the 7 we could read show a quote request instead of a price.
• 2 of the 7 we could read offer a free plan, and 5 offer a time-limited trial.
• 3 of the 7 we could read state a setup, hardware or licence cost on top of the monthly price (the notes below say which).

• Zoho Inventory: Plans cap orders, users and locations, and add-ons cost extra: users A$12, 500 more orders A$12, locations A$15.58, advanced warehousing A$190.83 (each per organization per month, billed annually).
• Unleashed: Prices exclude applicable taxes. Extra users are $69 (Core) or $79 (Pro) a month, sales orders are capped each month with paid upgrade bands, and one-off onboarding packages cost $449, $789 or $7,999.
• Cin7: Prices are in US dollars, exclude taxes and are for new customers. More integrations and more sale-order volume can be bought on top, and onboarding options are listed, with no prices shown for either.
• inFlow Inventory: A one-time onboarding package of 499 USD is required on most plans, and extra team members cost 29 USD a month each. The page offers no Australian dollar prices and does not say whether tax is included.
• Linnworks: Quote only: plans are tiered by monthly orders with charges for going over, and the page says there are no percentage fees. Onboarding is a one-off fee set per customer and add-on modules cost extra.
• Brightpearl: Quote only: a chat and demo come first, then a written cost breakdown before you sign. The page says unlimited users are included at no extra cost.
• Katana: The paid plan is a custom annual contract that includes a custom build and implementation, and there is no per-user charge.

One count for every shelf and the packing bench, so you know what is really left before you list it again.

A tool for online sellers has to fix these:

• Overselling when one channel sells the last unit.
• Fees hide the real profit.
• Every channel has its own spreadsheet.

Know what is on the racking and the pick faces, and what to reorder before a trade customer rings.

A tool for wholesalers has to fix these:

• Orders arrive by email and phone and are typed again.
• Trade prices differ by customer.
• Back orders are tracked by memory.
