The best Stocky alternative depends on your store. For a small-to-mid Shopify store that wants purchase orders, suppliers, costs, and forecasting on a free plan, and wants to keep its Stocky history, EZStock is the closest like-for-like swap. Multi-channel sellers fit Sumtracker. Larger stores that need heavy forecasting lean toward Prediko or Inventory Planner; stores doing assembly or manufacturing fit Qoblex; scaling brands doing demand planning look at Cogsy. The factor that matters most is whether the app can import your converted Stocky history instead of starting you from scratch.
Key takeaways
- Stocky closes August 31, 2026; pick and set up a replacement before then.
- Most alternatives start empty, so you re-enter suppliers and re-map SKUs manually.
- EZStock imports a converted Stocky PO file with status, costs, and suppliers intact.
- Prediko and Inventory Planner suit larger stores that need advanced forecasting.
- Convert your export first (it's free), then choose. A converted file works with EZStock's importer.
The one factor that decides your migration: does it import your history?
Every inventory app can track stock going forward. The real difference is the past. Do you get to keep the purchase orders you've placed, the costs you've paid, and the suppliers you've built up? Or do you start from an empty screen and re-type all of it? That single question separates a one-hour migration from a week of data entry. Keep it in mind as you read each option below.
1. EZStock
EZStock is a Shopify inventory and purchase-order app built to be the Stocky replacement for small-to-mid stores. It covers the same core loop: create and send purchase orders, track suppliers and lead times, forecast demand with days-of-stock-left, set reorder points, run stocktakes, and auto-update Shopify inventory when a PO is received. The differentiator for anyone leaving Stocky is the importer. A converted Stocky PO file comes in with status, received quantities, costs, and suppliers preserved, so you don't rebuild years of records by hand.
2. Sumtracker
Sumtracker is the strongest fit if you sell across more than one channel. It syncs stock across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, and 20+ other platforms from one dashboard, handles bundles and kits well (a bundle sale adjusts the component stock everywhere), and holds up at high order volumes. It also does demand forecasting, automated purchase orders, and reorder points. Pricing starts around $49/mo on tiered plans by order volume, with a 14-day trial. If your main reason for leaving Stocky is that you outgrew a single-channel tool, this is the one to look at first.
3. Prediko
Prediko is a heavier inventory-planning and forecasting platform aimed at growing brands. It leans into demand planning, purchase-order automation, and analytics, and it's a strong fit if forecasting accuracy at scale is your priority and you have the budget for a paid plan. It's more app than a store doing a few dozen POs a month needs, but for larger catalogs it's a serious option. If your catalog is large, the more important question is whether an app can read it without slowing down; see why inventory apps slow down on large catalogs for the four checks that matter.
4. Qoblex
Qoblex fits stores that do more than buy and sell finished goods. It handles manufacturing (bills of materials, production orders, cost tracking) alongside inventory, B2B wholesale, and order management, with landed-cost calculation that syncs to Shopify and serial/batch/expiry tracking. It integrates with Xero and QuickBooks. Pricing starts around $99/mo. If you relied on Stocky for assembly, kitting, or light manufacturing, this is the closest match; if you just need purchase orders and reorder points, it's more platform than you need.
5. Inventory Planner
Inventory Planner is a long-established forecasting and replenishment tool used by bigger merchants and multi-channel brands. Its strength is deep forecasting, open-to-buy planning, and reporting. It's priced for stores where inventory is a major cost center, so it tends to be overkill (and over-budget) for a small shop that just wants purchase orders and low-stock alerts.
6. Cogsy
Cogsy leans toward demand and scenario planning for scaling brands, modeling how inventory and cash play out over the months ahead rather than just tracking today's stock. It suits a store that wants to plan buys around growth targets and revenue, not only fill reorder points. It's a planning layer more than a lightweight PO tool, so weigh it if forecasting and scenario modeling are what you actually want. Confirm current pricing and features on its listing.
7. Free multi-channel apps (Nventory, ChannelBay)
Some apps position themselves as free inventory tools, often with a multi-channel angle, syncing stock across marketplaces. If your main need is keeping quantities in sync across sales channels rather than managing a purchase-order and supplier history, these can fit. Just be clear on the trade-off: free multi-channel sync and full purchase-order history are usually not the same feature set, so match the app to the job you actually need done.

If you're a small-to-mid store that mainly wants purchase orders, suppliers, forecasting, and low-stock alerts, and you want to keep your Stocky history without re-keying it, start with EZStock, since its free plan and importer are built for exactly that move. If you sell across marketplaces and mainly need stock to stay in sync everywhere, look at Sumtracker. If you're a larger brand where forecasting accuracy across a big catalog is the priority and budget isn't the constraint, evaluate Prediko, Inventory Planner, or Cogsy. If you run assembly or manufacturing, Qoblex is the closest fit. If you barely use purchase orders and mostly need marketplace stock sync, a free multi-channel app is enough. Either way, run the free converter first so your data is safe before the deadline, and see the full Stocky to Shopify migration guide for the export-convert-import path.

What's the closest app to Stocky? For small-to-mid Shopify stores, EZStock is the closest like-for-like. It mirrors Stocky's purchase-order, supplier, cost, and forecasting workflow and can import your converted Stocky history. Larger stores may prefer heavier forecasting platforms.
Is there a genuinely free Stocky replacement? Yes. EZStock has a permanent free plan (products, suppliers, and a monthly PO cap) plus a 14-day full-feature trial. Some multi-channel apps are also free but focus on stock sync rather than purchase-order history.
Will I lose my data switching off Stocky? Only if you don't export before August 31, 2026. Convert your export with the free tool first, then whichever app you pick, your purchase orders, suppliers, and costs are preserved.
