The best Stocky alternatives for Shopify in 2026
Stocky has been retired and Shopify Admin never inherited its reorder planning. Here's a fact-checked, no-hype look at what merchants are actually switching to, including where Binly fits, and where it doesn't.
Stocky was pulled from the App Store Feb 2, 2026 and stopped working entirely Aug 31, 2026. Full timeline linked.
Covers stocktakes, reorder & POs
The three jobs most Stocky users relied on every day, in one app, not spread across three separate subscriptions.
A real free plan to start
Try barcode stocktakes and low-stock alerts with no credit card required, then upgrade only once you need reorder and purchase orders.
Built for Shopify, no migration
Installs from the Shopify App Store and reads your existing catalog automatically, no CSV re-import or separate login to manage.

Why now
Why merchants need a Stocky alternative
This isn't a rumor, the shutdown is confirmed and the date has passed. Here's exactly what happened, drawn from Shopify's own merchant communications and the Shopify Community forum.
Already delisted
Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026. New merchants could no longer install it, and existing users kept access only until the shutdown date.
Shut off completely Aug 31, 2026
On this date Stocky's APIs were switched off for good. Stocktakes, reorder, and purchase orders stopped working, even for stores that were still actively using it.
Shopify didn't rebuild reorder planning
Admin picked up basic transfers and adjustments, but sales-based reorder suggestions and demand planning were left to third-party apps, which is why this list exists.
Before you pick one
What to look for in a replacement
Stocky did four jobs for most stores. Whatever you switch to should cover the ones you actually used, the rest is often just added cost.
Stocktakes & barcode counting
Can you count with your phone, or do you need to buy dedicated scanner hardware? Look for live variance in units and dollars as you scan.
Reorder & demand forecasting
Sales-velocity based suggestions are the minimum bar. Larger, multichannel catalogs may need deeper seasonal or multi-warehouse forecasting.
Purchase orders & suppliers
Creating, sending and receiving POs against vendors is core to daily operations, check which pricing tier actually includes it, since it's often gated behind a higher plan.
Barcode label printing
If you handle physical inventory, you likely need label printing for Dymo, Zebra or Avery printers, not every inventory app includes this.
The options
The leading Stocky alternatives, compared
We built Binly, so we're not pretending to be neutral, but every price and feature claim below was checked against each app's own pricing page or Shopify App Store listing before publishing. Where we couldn't verify a number, we've said so instead of guessing.
Binly
Free plan · Starter $12/mo · Pro $25/mo · Growth $69/mo

Good fit if: You're a single- or multi-location Shopify retailer who wants Stocky's daily-use features back, simply and affordably. Deep demand forecasting isn't part of Binly's scope.

Known for: The cheapest entry point on this list, low-stock alerts and sales-history forecasting start on the $4.99 Basic plan.
Good fit if: You want the lowest possible price and can wait on purchase orders, they're only included on the $59.99/mo Pro Plus tier.
Assisty
Free plan · paid from $19/mo to $239/mo
Known for: AI reorder suggestions, automated purchase orders, and 300+ pre-built reports with a Google Sheets integration.
Good fit if: You want a genuinely usable free tier before committing, or need heavy custom reporting on the higher plans.
Sumtracker
From $59/mo · $99/mo for POs + forecasting
Known for: Syncing and replenishing inventory across Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, Walmart and eBay at once, plus bundles and barcode stocktakes.

Known for: Full order, manufacturing and B2B management, inventory is one piece of a broader operations platform.
Good fit if: You need wholesale/B2B ordering or light manufacturing tracking alongside inventory, not just retail stock control.
Prediko
From $49/mo, based on your GMV
Known for: AI sales forecasting, unlimited purchase orders, and raw-materials/BOM tracking for brands that assemble products.
Good fit if: You manufacture or bundle raw materials into finished goods and need that tracked alongside reorder planning.

FAQ
Common questions
When exactly did Stocky shut down?
Stocky was removed from the Shopify App Store on February 2, 2026, and stopped working completely on August 31, 2026, including its APIs. Any store that was still using Stocky lost access on that date. Shopify Admin absorbed some basic inventory operations, but reorder and demand planning were not carried over.
What's the closest replacement for Stocky's reorder planning?
There isn't a single 1:1 clone, every app on this list rebuilt reorder planning differently. Binly, Assisty and Stockie cover the everyday version (sales-velocity based reorder suggestions and purchase orders) at a low price. Fabrikatör, Prediko, Sumtracker and Inventory Planner offer deeper demand forecasting for brands with more complex catalogs or multiple sales channels.
Is there a free Stocky alternative?
Yes, with limits. Binly offers a free plan (unlimited barcode stocktakes on your full catalog, plus low-stock alerts by email or Slack, no credit card required) and Assisty also has a free tier with basic tracking and limited reports. Most of the other apps on this list (Sumtracker, Fabrikatör, Qoblex, Prediko and Inventory Planner) start as paid plans.
Do I need to manually migrate my Stocky data?
Yes. Nothing transferred automatically when Stocky shut off. If you exported your purchase orders and reorder points to CSV before the shutdown, keep that file: Binly imports it and recreates your suppliers from the names on those orders. Paste any supplier notes you saved into Rescue Stocky notes, and Binly turns MOQs, case sizes and payment terms into fields you can use. See our step-by-step export guide for the exact process.
Is Binly the right choice for every Stocky user?
No, and we'd rather say so than oversell it. Binly covers the everyday essentials (stocktakes, reorder suggestions, purchase orders and barcode labels) for small and mid-sized Shopify retailers. If you need deep multichannel forecasting, raw-materials/BOM tracking, or B2B and manufacturing workflows, one of the heavier tools above (Prediko, Fabrikatör, Qoblex or Inventory Planner) will fit better. See our dedicated Binly vs. Stocky comparison for the full feature breakdown.
