InventoryQuick vs QuickBooks Inventory

QuickBooks Commerce (originally TradeGecko) was discontinued by Intuit on August 31, 2023. Intuit shifted focus to building basic e-commerce features into QuickBooks Online instead. Many former QuickBooks Commerce users have been looking for dedicated inventory management alternatives since the shutdown.

For inventory management, InventoryQuick goes well beyond what QuickBooks offers. You get purchase orders, sales orders, demand forecasting, barcode scanning and multi-location tracking in a tool built for tracking items; QuickBooks Plus and Advanced add inventory tracking, purchase orders and low stock alerts to an accounting package. QuickBooks Online is not connected to InventoryQuick, so today you move data between the two by CSV import and export.

Yes. QuickBooks only includes inventory in its Plus plan ($140/mo) or Advanced plan ($340/mo). InventoryQuick starts at $19/mo for Starter and $49/mo for Pro with 3 team members, so the cheapest QuickBooks plan that tracks inventory costs more per month than InventoryQuick Pro — and Pro is purpose-built for inventory rather than adding it to an accounting package. Note that QuickBooks is running phased price increases through 2026, so check their current pricing page before comparing.

Absolutely. Many businesses use QuickBooks for accounting and InventoryQuick for inventory management. QuickBooks Online is not connected to InventoryQuick — today you move data between the two by CSV import and export. This approach often costs less than upgrading to QuickBooks Plus or Advanced just for inventory features.
