10 Best Inventory Management Software of 2026

1. 1

   Zoho Inventory

   Cloud inventory and order management from Zoho, priced per organization with order, user and location caps per plan.

   8.8overall

   Cloud inventory and order management from Zoho, priced per organization with order, user and location caps per plan.

   Best forsmall online sellers that want a free start and a low flat price

   Adoption data

   1 million+ paying customersZoho Corporation, which makes Zoho Inventory, says it serves more than one million paying customers and over 150 million users; it does not publish a separate Inventory count.

   Zoho, Zoho Corporation surpasses one million customers (2026): “is now a trusted technology provider to more than one million paying customers and more than 150 million users globally.”

   Zoho Inventory is the most affordable way on this list to move a small online shop from spreadsheets to real stock control. The free plan handles 50 orders a month with one user and one location, and Standard at $29 per organization per month billed annually lifts that to 500 orders, three users and two locations, with composite items, dropshipment and backordering. Premium at $79 adds serial number and batch tracking, barcode generation and stock counting, which most growing sellers will want. Pricing scales by monthly order volume rather than by seat, so a small team pays one flat price. The parent company reports more than one million paying customers across its apps, but Zoho does not break out Inventory on its own, so we scored adoption a step below vendors with product-level counts. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Lowest verified paid entry price on this list at $29 per organization
   • +Permanent free plan for very small catalogs
   • +Price is per organization, not per seat, up to each plan's user cap

   Limitations

   • −Serial and batch tracking need Premium at $79
   • −Order caps per month on every plan, 15,000 on Enterprise
   • −No separate customer count for the Inventory product

   SummaryZoho Inventory is the best choice for small online sellers because Standard costs $29 per organization per month and a free plan covers 50 orders. Plan for Premium at $79 if you need batch or serial tracking.

2. 2

   Odoo Inventory

   The warehouse and stock app of the open source Odoo suite, free on its own and part of the paid all-apps plans.

   8.7overall

   The warehouse and stock app of the open source Odoo suite, free on its own and part of the paid all-apps plans.

   Best forgrowing sellers that want warehouse rules and an upgrade path to full ERP

   Adoption data

   28 million usersOdoo says its software is used by more than 28 million users worldwide, across all of its apps.

   Odoo, About Odoo (2026): “It is used by over 28,000,000 users worldwide ranging from startup companies (1 user) to large enterprises (300,000+ users).”

   Odoo Inventory brings warehouse features usually found in pricier systems to a product that can start at no cost. Odoo says one app is free forever with unlimited users, so a seller who only needs Inventory can run it without a subscription. The product page lists min-max replenishment, make-to-order, push and pull routes, put-away strategies, serial numbers and lots, cycle counting, and single, wave, cluster or batch picking, plus carrier connections for shipping labels. The catch arrives when you add a second app such as Accounting or eCommerce, which moves the account to a per-user plan; our fetch of the pricing page showed euros, so we list the USD price as pending. Odoo reports more than 28 million users across its suite, the largest user figure on this list. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Inventory alone can run free for unlimited users
   • +Deepest warehouse routing and picking options among the low-cost tools here
   • +Adds accounting, ecommerce and manufacturing from the same vendor later

   Limitations

   • −Our pricing page fetch showed euros, so the USD price is pending
   • −Adding a second app moves you to a paid per-user plan
   • −Advanced routes and put-away rules take setup time

   SummaryOdoo Inventory is the best choice for sellers that want serious warehouse rules for free, because one app costs nothing for unlimited users. Expect a per-user bill once you add more apps.

   Oracle NetSuite

   Oracle's cloud ERP with inventory, warehouse management and demand planning in one suite, sold by quote.

   8.1overall

   Oracle's cloud ERP with inventory, warehouse management and demand planning in one suite, sold by quote.

   Best formulti-warehouse brands that need inventory inside a full ERP

   Adoption data

   44,000+ customersNetSuite says more than 44,000 customers use its products.

   Oracle NetSuite, NetSuite Cloud Accounting Software (2026): “Discover the products that 44,000+ customers depend on to fuel their growth.”

   NetSuite is the pick when inventory is one part of a larger operational problem. Its warehouse management pages describe a mobile app for receiving, putaway, picking and packing, wave release with single- and multi-order picking, bin management, and Smart Count, which runs cycle counts without freezing transactions across a location and alerts counters when stock moves mid-count. Supply chain pages add demand planning and replenishment, and everything posts to the same financial ledger, so a brand with several warehouses avoids syncing a separate inventory tool with its books. NetSuite says more than 44,000 customers use its products. Value scores low because NetSuite publishes no price and most customers pay for implementation on top of a yearly license; we list its price as pending. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Inventory, warehouse and finance share one ledger
   • +Cycle counts run while transactions continue
   • +44,000+ customers, the largest company count on this list

   Limitations

   • −No published price; sold by quote
   • −Implementation usually involves a partner or NetSuite services
   • −More system than a small shop needs

   SummaryNetSuite is the best choice for multi-warehouse brands that want inventory inside an ERP, because its WMS and Smart Count sit on the same ledger as finance. Small shops will pay for far more than they use.

   inFlow Inventory

   Inventory and order software for wholesale, distribution and field service, with a mobile scanning app.

   8.0overall

   Inventory and order software for wholesale, distribution and field service, with a mobile scanning app.

   Best forB2B sellers and distributors that scan stock in and out

   Adoption data

   50K+ businessesinFlow says more than 50,000 businesses use its software.

   inFlow, Inventory Management Software - Made Easy (2026): “50K+ businesses feel the magic of inFlow”

   inFlow suits sellers whose stock moves through a warehouse or stockroom and who want a clear published price. Lite costs $99 per month billed annually, Core $299, Pro $499 and Max $699, and each extra team member is $29 a month. The pricing page lists over 95 integrations, and the product includes a B2B portal for sharing a catalog with wholesale buyers, purchase orders with RFQs, and mobile apps on Android and iOS for scanning and receiving. inFlow Manufacturing starts at $169 and inFlow Stockroom, for internal supplies, at $69. The company says more than 50,000 businesses use it, the largest product-specific figure on this list. The trade-offs are the lack of a free plan and an entry price well above Zoho Inventory and Sortly. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Published USD prices for every plan
   • +50,000+ businesses, the highest product-level count here
   • +Hardware credit for new customers toward scanners and printers

   Limitations

   • −No free plan
   • −Lite starts at $99, over three times Zoho's entry plan
   • −Manufacturing features sit in a separate product from $169

   SummaryinFlow Inventory is the best choice for B2B sellers and distributors because it pairs a B2B portal and mobile scanning with a published $99 Lite plan. Very small shops can start cheaper elsewhere.

5. 5

   Sortly

   Mobile-first inventory app for tracking items, supplies and equipment with photos, barcodes and alerts.

   7.8overall

   Mobile-first inventory app for tracking items, supplies and equipment with photos, barcodes and alerts.

   Best forsmall teams tracking supplies, tools or a modest catalog

   Adoption data

   15,000+ businessesSortly says more than 15,000 businesses use it to track inventory.

   Sortly, Sortly: Inventory Management Software, Simplified (2026): “Over 15,000 businesses trust Sortly to track their inventory.”

   Sortly is built for tracking things more than for selling them, which makes it a good fit for small teams that count supplies, tools, equipment or a short product list. The free plan covers 100 unique items and one user, and Advanced raises that to 500 items and two user licenses. During the current flash sale the pricing page shows Advanced at $24 a month billed $288 yearly, down from $49, with Ultra at $74 and Premium at $149 on the same terms. The mobile app scans barcodes, stores item photos and sends low stock and date-based alerts. Sortly says more than 15,000 businesses use it. It lacks the sales channel sync, purchase planning and multichannel order handling that ecommerce sellers get from Zoho Inventory, inFlow or Cin7. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Permanent free plan
   • +Cheapest verified paid plan at $24 a month on yearly billing during the current sale
   • +14-day free trial on paid plans

   Limitations

   • −Item caps per plan, 500 on Advanced
   • −Few order and sales channel features for ecommerce
   • −The $24 price is a sale; the list price is $49

   SummarySortly is the best choice for small teams tracking supplies or equipment because its free plan covers 100 items and Advanced costs $24 a month during the current sale. Online sellers needing channel sync should look higher on the list.

6. 6

   Cin7 Core

   Cloud inventory and order management for brands that sell through ecommerce, wholesale and retail channels.

   7.7overall

   Cloud inventory and order management for brands that sell through ecommerce, wholesale and retail channels.

   Best formultichannel brands with wholesale and online sales

   Adoption data

   8,500+ businessesCin7 says more than 8,500 businesses worldwide use its inventory software.

   Cin7, Cin7 Pricing (2026): “More than 8,500 businesses worldwide trust Cin7's inventory software to streamline operations, reduce costs, and scale effortlessly.”

   Cin7 Core is aimed at brands that already sell through several channels and need stock to stay in sync across them. Standard costs $349 a month in USD and includes five users, two ecommerce or app integrations, 6,000 sale orders a year and unlimited inventory locations; Pro at $599 doubles users to 10 and adds planning tools. Cin7 says it integrates with over 700 platforms including QuickBooks, Shopify and Amazon, and sells a ForesightAI add-on for purchase forecasting. Larger enterprises can buy Cin7 Omni, which is priced by quote. The company says more than 8,500 businesses use its software. Value is the weak spot: the entry price is several times Zoho's, and the two-integration limit on Standard means many multichannel sellers will pay for add-ons. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Unlimited locations from the entry plan
   • +Large integration catalog of 700+ partners
   • +Published USD prices for Core plans

   Limitations

   • −Entry price of $349 a month
   • −Standard caps sales at 6,000 orders a year
   • −Only 2 integrations included on Standard; more cost extra

   SummaryCin7 Core is the best choice for multichannel brands because it combines unlimited locations with 700+ integrations. At $349 a month it is priced for sellers past the startup stage.

   Best forQuickBooks and Xero users that need barcode-driven stock control

   Adoption data

   6,000+ businessesFishbowl says more than 6,000 businesses use its software.

   Fishbowl, Best Inventory Management Software for QuickBooks & Xero (2026): “Trusted by 6,000+ businesses”

   Fishbowl has built its product around the accounting packages small businesses already use. Essentials costs $229 a month billed annually with two users and covers QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, real-time SKU tracking, reorder points and mobile barcode scanning. Growth at $429 adds pick, receive, ship and fulfillment with five users and two-way QuickBooks sync, and the $729 tier adds lot tracking and demand forecasting for regulated goods such as food and chemicals. Fishbowl Advanced Warehouse starts at $595 a month for multi-warehouse, 3PL and EDI operations. Fishbowl says more than 6,000 businesses use it. Small teams should watch the user count: two seats on Essentials can force an early upgrade. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Two-way QuickBooks sync built in
   • +Clear USD prices with user counts per plan
   • +Upgrade path to Fishbowl Advanced for 3PL and EDI

   Limitations

   • −Entry plan includes only 2 users
   • −No free plan
   • −Lot tracking sits in the $729 tier

   SummaryFishbowl is the best choice for QuickBooks and Xero users because accounting sync is built into every plan from $229 a month. Teams larger than two people should price the Growth plan.

   Linnworks

   Multichannel inventory and order management for ecommerce retailers, priced on order volume by quote.

   7.3overall

   Multichannel inventory and order management for ecommerce retailers, priced on order volume by quote.

   Best formarketplace sellers on Amazon, eBay and several web stores

   Adoption data

   4,000+ active customersLinnworks says more than 4,000 active customers run on its platform.

   Linnworks, Linnworks: Multichannel Inventory & Order Management Software for SMB (2026): “4000 + active customers running on Linnworks”

   Linnworks is built for retailers whose main problem is orders arriving from many marketplaces at once. The site lists more than 100 channel integrations, a Rules Engine that sorts and routes orders with unlimited rules, carrier connections for shipping, and Stock Forecasting as a flat-fee add-on. In North America, the SkuVault Core package adds warehouse features such as quality control and serialization. Linnworks prices plans on order volume rather than revenue and says it charges no percentage fees, but it publishes no figures, so we list the price as pending; onboarding is a separate one-off fee. Linnworks says more than 4,000 active customers run on the platform. Sellers with a single Shopify store will find simpler and cheaper tools above it on this list. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Priced on order volume with no percentage of revenue
   • +Strong order automation for high-volume marketplace sellers
   • +Guided onboarding plan in every package

   Limitations

   • −No published price; quote only
   • −Onboarding is a separate one-off fee
   • −Some warehouse features only in North America through SkuVault Core

   SummaryLinnworks is the best choice for high-volume marketplace sellers because its Rules Engine and 100+ channel integrations automate order routing. It sells by quote, so budget for a sales process and onboarding fees.

   Katana

   Cloud inventory and manufacturing software for product businesses, with a free tier and custom annual contracts.

   7.2overall

   Cloud inventory and manufacturing software for product businesses, with a free tier and custom annual contracts.

   Best formakers and small manufacturers selling on Shopify

   Adoption data

   1,600+ businessesKatana's homepage shows a 4.5 out of 5 score from more than 1,600 customers.

   Katana, Cloud Inventory Management Software (2026): “4.5 / 5.0 score with 1,600+ customers”

   Katana combines inventory with light manufacturing, so it fits brands that make what they sell. The free plan allows up to 30 SKUs but includes unlimited users, integrations and inventory locations, all Katana features and API access, which makes it a full trial on a small catalog. Paid use moved to Advantage, a custom annual contract that bundles the subscription with setup, custom integrations and ongoing support; Katana publishes no price for it. The product keeps stock aligned across Shopify, wholesale, retail and 3PLs, schedules work orders and integrates with Amazon and QuickBooks Online. The homepage shows a 4.5 out of 5 score from 1,600+ customers, the smallest published figure here, so adoption scores lower. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Free tier includes every feature and unlimited users
   • +Inventory and production planning in one tool
   • +Advantage contract bundles setup and integration work

   Limitations

   • −Free plan stops at 30 SKUs
   • −No published paid price; Advantage is a custom annual contract
   • −Smallest published customer figure among the vendors that give one

   SummaryKatana is the best choice for small manufacturers because inventory and work orders share one system, free for up to 30 SKUs. Larger catalogs move to a custom annual contract.

10. 10

    SOS Inventory

    Inventory, order and manufacturing add-on for QuickBooks Online.

    6.8overall

    Inventory, order and manufacturing add-on for QuickBooks Online.

    Best forQuickBooks Online users that want an add-on under $100 a month

    SOS Inventory extends QuickBooks Online rather than replacing it. Companion costs $74.95 a month with two users and covers sales orders, assemblies and the QuickBooks integration; Plus at $144.95 adds unlimited locations, serial and lot tracking and barcoding with three users; and Pro at $199.95 adds job costing, advanced manufacturing and a customer portal with five users. Annual billing gives two months free, so Companion is $749.50 a year. The vendor offers a 14-day free trial. SOS describes its user base only as thousands of QuickBooks users and publishes no exact count, so we omitted an adoption figure and scored that factor conservatively. It is a sound budget choice for QuickBooks Online shops, but it ranks last here on adoption evidence. We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Lowest monthly-billed paid entry among QuickBooks add-ons here at $74.95
    • +Two months free on annual billing
    • +Serial and lot tracking from $144.95

    Limitations

    • −Built for QuickBooks Online, so other accounting tools are not the focus
    • −No published customer count
    • −Barcoding needs the Plus plan

    SummarySOS Inventory is the best choice for QuickBooks Online users on a budget because Companion costs $74.95 a month. Barcoding and lot tracking need Plus at $144.95.
