Stockful vs Stockie: Which Stocky Replacement Fits Your Store?

Depth of forecasting and visibility. Stockie is a lightweight replenishment tool: forecasts from your last 90 days of sales, purchase orders, supplier records and low-stock alerts. Stockful is a forecasting and analytics platform: five candidate models per SKU trained on up to 2 years of history, seasonality learned per product, daily snapshots, 14 scheduled reports, ABC analysis, Shopify Flow integration and an AI assistant. Stockie creates purchase orders in-app; Stockful hands that to Shopify admin and focuses on getting the numbers right.

Stockie starts lower ($4.99/mo), with its forecasting features on higher tiers up to $59.99/mo. Stockful runs $19.99-$79.99/mo based on tracked SKUs and locations, with every feature - forecasting, AI, reports, alerts - on every plan. Both offer 14-day free trials, so you can run them side by side on your own data.

Because seasonal demand repeats yearly. A forecast built on the last 90 days can follow recent velocity, but it can't see that a product peaks every December or dies every summer - that pattern only exists in year-plus history. Stockful pulls up to 2 years of sales from Shopify at install and learns each product's seasonal shape, with no manual 'same period last year' setup.

Stockful turns your reorder recommendations into a Shopify purchase order: pick items or bulk-select, review the quantities and unit costs, and export a CSV in Shopify's purchase-order format that imports onto a new purchase order in Shopify, matched by SKU or barcode. Stockie creates and manages purchase orders in its own app; Stockful keeps them in Shopify's native purchase orders and feeds them - no separate PO tool, no double entry. If you want in-app PO management, Stockie covers it; if you want the reorder numbers behind a native Shopify PO to be deeper, that's Stockful's focus.

It depends on what you used Stocky for. If it was mainly creating purchase orders, Stockie replicates that workflow. If it was monitoring stock, reports, forecasting and alerts, Stockful replaces that side and goes further - daily history from day one, self-tuning forecasts, and an AI assistant Stocky never had. Both have free trials; installing Stockful early matters because its daily snapshot history starts the moment you install.
