Best Stocky Alternatives for Shopify: 2026 Comparison

Best Stocky Alternatives for Shopify: 2026 Comparison

Shopify is retiring Stocky on 31 August 2026, and it won’t migrate your data for you. If you ran purchase orders, receiving or replenishment through Stocky, you need a replacement — and the right one depends on whether you want one app to run the whole inventory loop or a specialist tool for one job. This is a fair, sourced comparison of the leading Shopify alternatives on the things that actually matter to a Stocky refugee.

Last reviewed June 2026. App Store ratings and prices change — check each listing before you decide.

TL;DR: EasyScan is the most complete end-to-end pick — purchase orders, scan-to-receive, transfer orders, supplier catalogs and reorder points in one Built-for-Shopify app (5.0 stars across 329 reviews). For deep AI demand forecasting, Prediko and Inventory Planner lead today. Shopify’s native purchase orders cover the basics for free. Some merchants pair EasyScan with a dedicated forecasting tool.

Only EasyScan carries the Built for Shopify badge. All five apps offer supplier management to some degree — see each section below.

EasyScan — best all-round Shopify inventory and purchase-order app

EasyScan runs the whole inventory loop in one app: raise purchase orders, scan stock in against them, move it with transfer orders, store it with bin locations, and reorder with min/max thresholds and one-click Smart Generate POs — then pick, pack and audit by scanning. It’s the only app in this list with the Built for Shopify badge and a 5.0 rating across 329 reviews, and receiving happens inside the purchase order: scan units in, log accepted vs rejected, handle partial deliveries, and print barcode labels for just the units you accepted. There’s also a guided Stocky supplier import to get you moved over.

Best for: merchants who want one app to run purchase orders, receiving, transfers and reorder points end to end — not a stack of single-purpose tools. Trade-off: EasyScan isn’t a full demand-forecasting tool today — if you need “tell me what to order,” min/max reorder points cover the baseline and you can pair it with a forecasting app for now. On the roadmap: multi-currency purchase orders (supplier currencies), AI demand forecasting and sales-velocity reorder suggestions are in active development. Purchase orders are on the Advanced plan ($79.99/month); a Basic plan starts at $9.99/month, with a 10-day free trial.

Shopify native purchase orders — best for free basics

Shopify now lets you create purchase orders in the admin and receive them via a linked inventory transfer, and you can use a barcode scanner during that transfer. It’s free on every plan. The limits: the PO and the receiving transfer are separate records, there’s no reorder-point automation or forecasting, supplier management is thin, and native POs aren’t exposed to other apps via the API.

Best for: low-volume merchants who just need to record what they ordered. Trade-off: no planning layer and a more manual, two-record receiving flow.

Prediko — best for AI forecasting on a budget

Prediko markets itself directly as a Stocky replacement and pairs AI demand forecasting with unlimited purchase orders, reorder alerts and supplier workflows. Pricing is revenue-tiered, with a Starter plan from $49/month (for smaller stores), and it rates 4.9 across 228 reviews.

Best for: D2C brands whose pain is planning, not the warehouse floor. Trade-off: no barcode scan-to-receive — physical receiving is manual or needs a separate tool.

Inventory Planner by Sage — best for deep forecasting

Inventory Planner offers the deepest demand forecasting here — multi-location, seasonality-aware, with cash-flow modelling — and feeds those forecasts into POs. It rates 4.5 across 148 reviews.

Best for: mid-market and up with serious planning needs and budget. Trade-off: pricing is quote-based rather than a clear published tier, and barcode scan-to-receive isn’t a core feature.

Sumtracker — best for multichannel sellers

Sumtracker syncs inventory across Shopify plus Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Walmart, and adds purchase orders, landed cost and forecasting on its Replenish plan ($99/month). It rates 4.7 across 115 reviews. Barcode scanning is included, though scan-to-receive against a specific delivery isn’t clearly documented publicly.

Best for: sellers managing several marketplaces from one place. Trade-off: POs and forecasting are locked to the higher tier.

How to choose

Frequently asked questions

How does EasyScan compare to Prediko? EasyScan is the broader operations platform — end-to-end purchase orders, barcode-scan receiving, transfers and reorder points (and it holds the Built for Shopify badge); Prediko leads on AI demand forecasting today, though EasyScan has AI forecasting and sales-velocity suggestions in active development. They solve different halves of the problem and are often used together.

How does EasyScan compare to Inventory Planner? Inventory Planner is a forecasting and replenishment-planning tool; EasyScan is the end-to-end operations app that raises, receives and reorders POs and scans stock. Choose by whether your bottleneck is deciding what to order or physically handling it.

Does Shopify’s native purchase order feature replace Stocky? For basic ordering and receiving, yes — and it’s free. But it has no forecasting, no reorder automation and thin supplier tools, so heavier Stocky users usually add an app.

What’s the cheapest Stocky alternative with purchase orders? Shopify’s native POs are free; among apps, Prediko’s Starter tier starts at $49/month (revenue-limited) and EasyScan’s PO-capable Advanced plan is $79.99/month.
