Stocky is being retired. Here is a fair, side-by-side look at the strongest replacements — what each costs, what it does well, and which store it actually fits.
Updated for 2026 · written by the team behind Replenish (disclosure below)
Shopify is shutting Stocky down. Key features were removed in July 2025, the app was delisted on February 2, 2026, and Stocky stops working entirely on August 31, 2026. Shopify has chosen not to build native forecasting into the admin — so every merchant who relied on Stocky for reorder points, demand forecasting, and purchase orders needs a replacement.
The good news: the Shopify ecosystem has several genuinely good options. The catch is that they sit at very different price points and complexity levels, and "best" depends entirely on your store. Below is an honest comparison — including where each app is the wrong choice.
Sorted from simplest/cheapest to most powerful. Pick the row that matches your store's stage.
| App | Starts at | Forecasting? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stockie | $4.99/mo | No (alerts only) | Tiny stores that just want low-stock alerts |
| Replenish | $10/mo | Yes, explainable | Small-to-mid stores that want to know why to reorder |
| Sensible | $29/mo | Yes | Stores wanting forecasting from a newer, simpler tool |
| Prediko | $49/mo | Yes, advanced | Growing brands that want a full, well-funded suite |
| Fabrikator | $99/mo | Yes, advanced | Higher-volume brands needing deep PO + backorder tooling |
| Inventory Planner | ~$245/mo | Yes, enterprise | Multi-channel enterprises with a real budget |
Pricing and positioning as of early 2026. App Store ratings and prices change often — check each app's listing for current figures before deciding.
What each app is genuinely good at — and the honest trade-off.
The most-hyped Stocky alternative, well-funded and aggressively targeting the migration. Strong forecasting, POs, and analytics with a polished interface and a large review base.
A powerful suite aimed at higher-volume brands, with deep purchase-order and backorder management. If your operation is complex, the depth pays off.
The long-standing enterprise incumbent. Genuinely capable across multi-channel demand planning — but post-acquisition, merchants have reported steep price increases and support/sync issues.
A newer, simpler forecasting app at a fair price. A reasonable middle option if you want forecasting without the complexity of the big suites.
If all you need is "tell me when something is low," Stockie does that cheaply and well. It is an alerting tool, not a forecasting or reorder engine.
We built Replenish specifically as a Stocky replacement, around one idea: every recommendation should show its math. Instead of "reorder 200 units of SKU-1234," you get "selling 8/day, 25 left, supplier takes 14 days — order by Friday or you'll stock out." Stockout alerts, reorder recommendations, dead-stock detection, suppliers, and POs — from $10/mo with a 14-day free trial.
Skip the spreadsheet. Match your situation to one of these.
You don't need forecasting — just a heads-up before something hits zero. A simple, cheap alerting tool is enough.
