Why people switch

The price stops climbing

One flat monthly price with the features named on the plan. No add-on fees to scan a barcode or export a report.

Counts take minutes, not weekends

Stocktake mode counts a shelf, aisle or category on a phone, shows every difference instantly and logs each correction as a proper stock adjustment.

Your spreadsheet moves over in one go

Upload your existing Excel or CSV export, review the preview with duplicates and errors flagged, and confirm when it looks right.

Common questions

Is StockSimple a good alternative to Sortly?
If you want barcode scanning, stock counts, purchase orders and low-stock alerts without paying enterprise prices, yes. StockSimple starts at $6.99 a month, works on any phone browser and does not charge extra for scanning hardware or add-ons.
Can I move my Sortly inventory to StockSimple?
Yes. Export your items from Sortly as a CSV or Excel file and upload it to StockSimple. You get a full preview with duplicate SKUs and errors flagged before anything is saved, so nothing imports by surprise.
Do I need a barcode scanner?
No. StockSimple turns your phone or tablet camera into a scanner. You can also print your own barcode and QR label sheets from your product list, or just search by SKU or product name.
How much cheaper is StockSimple?
StockSimple starts at $6.99 a month, Business is $30 and Multi-Location is $70. Comparable Sortly tiers typically cost considerably more once scanning, reporting and multiple locations are included. Yearly billing on StockSimple saves two months.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14 days with every feature unlocked and no card required to start.
