Inventory Management Software Cost Calculator

How much does inventory management software cost?

For a small business, inventory software costs from free (tight order or user limits) to about US$350 to US$730 a month for multi-location tools such as Cin7 Core or Unleashed, before setup. The plan you need is decided by three numbers: how many people log in, how many stock locations you run and how many sales orders you process. Batch, lot or serial tracking often pushes you up a plan or adds a fee.

• Zoho Inventory (SGD, billed yearly): Free for 50 orders, 1 user and 2 locations; Standard S$39 (500 orders), Professional S$109 (3,000 orders, batch and serial), Premium S$169, Enterprise S$329. Extra users S$10 and locations S$12 a month.
• inFlow (USD, billed yearly): Lite US$99 (2 users, 1 location), Core US$299 (5 users, 5 locations), Pro US$499, Max US$699. Extra users US$29 and serial numbers US$39 a month; US$499 onboarding above Lite.
• Cin7 Core (USD): Standard US$349 (5 users, 6,000 orders a year), Pro US$599 (10 users, 24,000), Advanced US$1,199 (15 users, 120,000). Unlimited locations.
• Unleashed (USD, paid monthly): Core US$399 (3 users), Pro US$729 (5 users), each with 100 sales orders a month; order upgrades from US$70 a month; extra users US$69 or US$89.
• Odoo (USD, billed yearly): Standard US$16.90 per user a month for all apps, including sales, purchase and accounting; implementation is extra.

Worked example: 5 users, 2 locations and 300 orders a month, no batch tracking, at S$1.28 to the US dollar. Zoho Inventory Standard with 3 extra users is S$39 + S$30 = S$69 a month, S$828 a year. inFlow Core is US$299 x 12 + US$499 onboarding = US$4,087, about S$5,231. Cin7 Core Standard is US$349 x 12 = US$4,188, about S$5,361. Odoo Standard is US$16.90 x 5 x 12 = US$1,014, about S$1,298, plus implementation.

1. Setup and data import. Product lists, opening stock and supplier prices take days to clean. Some vendors sell onboarding packages; others leave it to you.
2. Hardware. Barcode scanners and label printers if you scan.
3. Integrations. Shopify, marketplaces and accounting links may count against a plan's integration allowance.
4. Growth. Order caps and per-user fees mean the bill rises with the business. Rerun the calculator at next year's volumes.

Questions

How much does inventory management software cost for a small business? From free for very small volumes to about US$350 to US$730 a month for multi-location tools, before setup. Users, stock locations and monthly orders decide the plan.

What is the cheapest inventory software? For one user, two locations and up to 50 orders a month, Zoho Inventory Free costs nothing. Beyond that, Zoho Inventory Standard at S$39 a month billed yearly is one of the lowest paid plans.

Is inventory software cheaper than an ERP? The licences usually are, but an inventory app sits beside your accounting software. An ERP such as Odoo charges per user for every app and needs a larger implementation.
