Why businesses compare Stockria and Sortly
Sortly is a visual inventory management app popular with small teams who want a simple way to track items with photos and QR codes. Stockria is a full inventory management platform built for small businesses that need purchase orders, reorder logic, and multi-location tracking at a fraction of the cost.
Both tools solve the same core problem: getting your inventory out of spreadsheets and into a real system. But they take different approaches and sit at very different price points.
Pricing comparison
Sortly's free plan covers 100 items for one user. To unlock features like purchase orders, stock counts, and pick lists, you need the Ultra plan at $149/month (or $74/month billed yearly). The Premium plan at $299/month adds customizable role permissions and QuickBooks integration.
Stockria includes all features on every plan. The free tier covers 250 items. The Pro plan is $19/month for 1,000 items and 2 users. The Business plan is $39/month for unlimited items, users, and locations.
That means the features Sortly locks behind its $149/month plan are included in Stockria's $19/month plan.
Feature-by-feature comparison
Where Stockria wins
Pricing. Stockria Pro at $19/month includes every feature that Sortly charges $149/month for. For a small business watching costs, that difference adds up to over $1,500/year.
Purchase orders and sales orders. Stockria includes purchase order creation, sales order tracking, and reorder point calculations on every plan. In Sortly, these require the Ultra tier at $149/month.
Stockria in action — Create purchase orders directly from your low-stock list. Pick a supplier, review quantities, and send — all from one screen.
Offline mode. Both tools work offline, but Stockria's offline mode supports full functionality — scanning, adjusting, transferring, and counting — with automatic sync when the connection returns.
Activity history. Stockria provides unlimited activity history on every plan. Sortly limits history to 1 month on free, 1 year on Advanced, and 3 years on Ultra. Only Premium ($299/mo) gets unlimited.
Where Sortly shines
Visual-first approach. Sortly is designed around photos and visual organization. If your workflow relies heavily on browsing items by image, Sortly's interface is purpose-built for that.
Folder-based organization. Sortly uses a folder and subfolder structure that feels familiar. Some teams prefer this over tag-based or category-based systems.
QR code generation. Sortly can generate and print QR code labels directly from the app. Stockria supports label generation as well, but Sortly's QR workflow is well-polished.
Who should choose Stockria
Stockria in action — See every product with its stock level, reorder point, pricing, and cost in one view.
Stockria is the better fit if you need purchase orders, reorder alerts, stock counts, and multi-location tracking without paying $149/month or more. It is built for small businesses that want a complete inventory system at a price that makes sense.
If you are currently using Sortly's free plan and need to upgrade, consider whether Stockria's Pro plan at $19/month gives you everything you need before committing to Sortly's $49/month Advanced plan.
All features included at $19/month
Stockria Pro includes purchase orders, sales orders, reorder logic, barcode scanning, and multi-location tracking. No feature gates, no surprise upgrades.
The bottom line
Stockria in action — Low-stock alerts tell you what's running out and when. Reorder before your customers notice the empty shelf.
Both tools replace spreadsheets with a proper inventory system. Stockria gives you more features at a lower price — $19/month vs $149/month for comparable functionality. Sortly offers a simpler, more visual experience for teams that do not need full inventory management workflows. For most small businesses tracking products, supplies, or materials, Stockria delivers significantly more value per dollar.
