Stocky vs Supply Radar: what carries over, what's different

Updated August 2026

Stocky shuts down on August 31, 2026, so this isn't a "which should I pick" comparison — it's a map of what you're used to in Stocky and where it lives (or doesn't) in Supply Radar. We've tried to be straight about the gaps.

Feature comparison

Feature	Stocky	Supply Radar
Price	Free (bundled with Shopify POS Pro history)	Free plan (5 alert rules) / $9 / $19 per month, flat
Low-stock alerts	Low-stock report you check manually	Realtime email/Slack alert when a SKU crosses its reorder point, plus a daily digest
Reorder points	Set manually	Set manually, or accept suggestions computed from sales velocity × supplier lead time
Purchase orders	Full PO workflow	Draft PO pre-filled with low-stock items → PDF → emailed to supplier
Receiving stock	Receive into Shopify	Receive into Shopify with one click ("Mark received")
Suppliers	Supplier database	Suppliers with name + order email (enough to send POs)
Demand forecasting	Forecast reports	Not a forecasting tool — suggestions are based on recent sales velocity only
Multi-location	Per-location support	V1 tracks total available inventory across locations; per-location thresholds are on the roadmap
Stock transfers between locations	Supported	Not supported (use Shopify's native transfers)
Writes to your store	Yes (POs, transfers, adjustments)	Read-only by design — the only write is when you click "Mark received"

Where Supply Radar is honestly not a fit

You run multiple warehouses with per-location purchasing — you'll want a heavier ops tool.
You rely on long-horizon demand forecasting for seasonal buying — dedicated forecasting apps do this better.
You need stocktakes/cycle counts inside the app — Supply Radar doesn't do stocktakes.

For those cases, see our full comparison of Stocky alternatives — several are built exactly for that (typically from around $29/mo and up).

Where it's a better fit than Stocky ever was

You stop checking reports. Stocky told you about low stock when you remembered to look. Supply Radar interrupts you the moment a SKU crosses the line.
Reorder points that keep themselves honest. Suggestions recompute from your actual sales velocity, so thresholds don't rot as demand shifts.
Nothing to un-learn. Set thresholds → get alert → click once for a supplier-ready PO. Most stores are fully set up in under 10 minutes.

Switching takes about 10 minutes

Products and inventory sync automatically when you install — the only manual work is re-creating suppliers and setting thresholds. Full walkthrough: How to migrate from Stocky.
