Cin7 was built for mid-market retailers with complex multi-channel operations and starts at $349/mo. InventoryQuick focuses on inventory management with AI — without the multi-channel marketplace overhead. If you don't need native Amazon/eBay integration, you get more value at $49/mo.
InventoryQuick integrates with Shopify and other platforms through its integration system. However, Cin7's multi-channel selling (Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce) is more deeply built-in. If multi-marketplace selling is your core need, Cin7 may be the better fit.
Absolutely. Many small businesses find Cin7's $349/mo starting price prohibitive. InventoryQuick offers purchase orders, sales orders, multi-location tracking, and AI features that Cin7 doesn't have — all starting at $49/mo. You also get a free tier to try before committing.
Yes. Export your Cin7 (or DEAR Inventory) data as CSV, then upload it to InventoryQuick. We auto-detect Cin7 column names like Stock on Hand and Available Stock, and map them to the right fields. Your items, quantities, prices, and categories come over in minutes.
