Who each app is best for
Choose Sortly if you track a fixed set of tools, equipment or supplies, you like browsing items by photo, and you rarely create orders. Item photos are part of every Sortly plan.
Choose StockFlow if you sell what you stock, need purchase orders without jumping to a $149 plan, build products from components, or run more than one location.
