Frequently asked.
Why is InventoryQuick so much cheaper than Cin7?
Cin7 was built for mid-market retailers with complex multi-channel operations and starts at $349/mo. InventoryQuick focuses on inventory management with smart features — without the multi-channel marketplace overhead. If you don't need native Amazon/eBay integration, you get more value at $49/mo.
Can InventoryQuick handle multi-channel selling like Cin7?
InventoryQuick has a built-in Shopify integration. We don't currently offer native Amazon, eBay, or WooCommerce sync — Cin7's multi-channel selling is more deeply built-in across those marketplaces. If multi-marketplace selling is your core need, Cin7 may be the better fit. (You can still bulk-import items from Amazon, eBay, and other platforms via CSV.)
Is InventoryQuick a good Cin7 alternative for small businesses?
Absolutely. Many small businesses find Cin7's $349/mo starting price prohibitive. InventoryQuick offers purchase orders, sales orders, multi-location tracking, and advanced features that Cin7 doesn't have — starting at $19/mo. You also get a 7-day free trial to try before committing.
Can I migrate from Cin7 to InventoryQuick?
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.
