Which one fits your operation
When Simpentory is the better fit
- Ordering is half your problem — you need purchase orders and vendors, not just a catalogue.
- You have more items or more people than a tier wants to allow.
- You would rather pay one price per location than watch the bill climb with the item count.
When Sortly is the better fit
- You need a photo of every item and printed QR labels on the shelf.
- You are cataloguing tools, equipment, or assets more than you are reordering stock.
- A free tier matters more right now than purchase orders do.
