Inventory Pro vs Cin7
Two cloud inventory platforms for growing omnichannel retailers. This page compares licensing, editions, warehouse scope, and integration options — and deliberately leaves competitor pricing out so you can check current vendor quotes.
— Quick verdict
Quick Verdict
Cin7 is the better pick if you sell across many marketplaces and want most connections wired without middleware, need AI-based demand forecasting, or require a built-in POS and B2B ordering portal.
Inventory Pro is the better pick if you want published pricing with concurrent licensing, EDI X12 support without a premium tier, unlimited warehouses from the Standard edition, and mobile warehouse execution that queues transactions when offline.
Competitor pricing appears as approximate cost tiers — check current vendor pricing before deciding.

— Where Cin7 wins
When Cin7 Is the Better Choice
Cin7 does several things well. These are the cases where it makes more sense than Inventory Pro.
You run many marketplaces
If you sell across many channels and want most of them wired without middleware, Cin7's integration library is a strength worth checking. Confirm the current library and channel list on cin7.com before comparing.
You want demand forecasting
Cin7 markets an AI-based demand forecasting module. Inventory Pro does not currently offer AI-driven forecasting — it ships 260+ standard reports plus reorder-point alerts instead.
You need a built-in POS
Cin7 includes point-of-sale for retail locations on its plans (check current details). Inventory Pro is not built around storefront POS; if registers are a core requirement, price both paths.
You want a B2B portal included
Cin7 advertises a built-in wholesale ordering portal. Inventory Pro ships customer/vendor access scoped per warehouse, but not a dedicated storefront portal.
— Where Inventory Pro wins
When Inventory Pro Is the Better Choice
Published pricing and concurrent licensing
Core from $99/mo, Standard from $249/mo, Enterprise from $799/mo, with additional capacity from $33/user/mo (Core) and $80/user/mo (Standard). Prices are published — data migration and customization work is quoted separately.
EDI without a premium tier
EDI X12 support (850, 940) is part of the platform, not gated behind a higher edition. If trading partners require EDI, that is covered on Standard.
Shift-friendly licensing
You pay for active sessions, not named seats. A 20-person warehouse across two shifts might only need about 10 concurrent licenses.
Warehouse scope that scales
Standard and above include unlimited warehouse locations; Core is a single warehouse. Add locations without per-location fees.
