Inventory Planner requires a custom quote. The official pricing page describes inventory-volume-based pricing with unlimited users. The Shopify listing says free to install, requests a quote and notes that external charges may be billed separately. Both were checked September 20, 2026.
This is a source-based purchasing worksheet, not a hands-on product test. Free installation does not establish the cost of ongoing service.
What is publicly confirmed?
| Question | What the current official sources establish |
|---|---|
| Universal starting monthly price? | No amount published on the checked pricing page |
| Pricing basis? | Volume of inventory managed |
| User seats? | Unlimited users at no extra cost, according to the vendor |
| Shopify billing? | External charges may be separate from the Shopify invoice |
We could not verify the older $245 starting-price estimate, fixed warehouse and SKU surcharges, or universal renewal conditions from these sources. We also do not treat individual complaints as proof of a service-wide current outage or an across-the-board price increase.
Send a quote request that can be compared
Describe your operating setup before asking for a price. Include active variants, stock locations, sales channels, replenishment frequency, typical purchase-order size and the systems that hold your stock and sales data. State which details you expect to grow over the next year.
Ask for a written breakdown covering:
- Subscription and the exact metric used to calculate it.
- Included locations, integrations, users and data history.
- Setup, migration, training and support costs, if applicable.
- What triggers a higher bill and when that change takes effect.
- Contract term, renewal price process, cancellation deadline and data export.
These are questions to resolve, not a claim that each item carries an extra charge.
Build a first-year cost worksheet
Use 12 times the monthly equivalent subscription, plus implementation, migration, staff training and any agreed extra fees. Record annual cash payments separately from a monthly equivalent so you can judge cash flow.
For example, a hypothetical quote of $500 per month plus $1,000 onboarding totals $7,000 in year one before internal staff time. Neither number is an Inventory Planner offer.
If that example replaces 10 hours of monthly spreadsheet work valued at $30 per hour, the estimated time value is $3,600 per year. You would still need $3,400 of additional value to cover the first-year bill. Staff time released is useful capacity; it is not necessarily a cash saving.
Estimate avoided stockouts from contribution margin, not full sales revenue. Estimate excess-stock savings without counting the same cash twice as both inventory released and annual profit.
Verify the workflow before signing
Choose a small representative set of SKUs: a steady seller, a seasonal item, a newly launched item and a product with a long supplier lead time. Compare source-system stock, open purchase orders and recent sales with the planning view. Have the vendor explain surprising reorder recommendations.
Agree who maintains lead times and supplier constraints, and who approves purchase orders. Set a dated evaluation window and a baseline for planning time, stockouts and excess stock. A sophisticated forecast cannot correct missing input data by itself.
See the Inventory Planner forecasting checklist for the operational walkthrough, or compare the tool overview and inventory shortlist. Request equivalent written quotes when comparing alternatives; we do not claim a universal percentage saving.
