Stitch Labs Alternatives After the Square Shutdown

Stitch Labs no longer exists as a product. Square announced that it was buying the company on July 10, 2020, and in the same Square announcement said Stitch would take no new customers, would keep running for existing ones until spring 2021, and would then be retired so the team could work on Square's own tools. The old stitchlabs.com marketing page is still online, but there is nothing to sign up for.

Stitch was multichannel inventory and order management for growing brands that sold on Shopify, Amazon and wholesale at once. The six picks below cover that job at different sizes, from a free starter plan to a $1,199-a-month suite.

Prices below are as of November 8, 2026. Our method is on How we review tools.

Cin7 Core

Cin7 Core fits the brand Stitch was built for: one stock count shared across e-commerce stores, marketplaces, wholesale orders and several locations. Every plan includes unlimited inventory locations, and onboarding is part of the price.

Standard is $349 a month for 5 users, 6,000 sales orders a year and 2 e-commerce or app integrations. Pro is $599 for 10 users and 24,000 orders, and Advanced is $1,199 for 15 users and 120,000 orders. Cin7 Omni, the larger edition, is quoted on request.

Best for: Brands selling direct, on marketplaces and wholesale from shared stock.

Pricing:

  • Standard: $349 a month, 5 users, 6,000 sales orders a year, 2 integrations
  • Pro: $599 a month, 10 users, 24,000 orders, 4 integrations
  • Advanced: $1,199 a month, 15 users, 120,000 orders, 6 integrations
  • Omni: custom quote
  • USD, excluding taxes

Watch out for:

  • Standard allows only 2 integrations, so a brand on Shopify, Amazon and a 3PL already needs more, and extra integrations cost extra, per the Cin7 pricing page.

inFlow Inventory

inFlow comes from the warehouse side, with serial number tracking, access rights and a Stockroom mobile app sold as add-ons. Prices are flat per plan rather than per user, which helps a team with many occasional users.

Lite is $99 a month billed yearly ($1,188), Core $299, Pro $499 and Max $699. Paid plans come with a 14-day trial.

Best for: Product businesses that run their own stockroom and want barcode workflows.

Pricing:

  • Lite: $99 a month billed yearly ($1,188 a year)
  • Core: $299 a month billed yearly ($3,588)
  • Pro: $499 a month billed yearly ($5,988)
  • Max: $699 a month billed yearly ($8,388)
  • Add-ons: serial numbers $39, API $49, Stockroom app $39 a month
  • Onboarding: $499 one-time, optional on Lite, required on Core and up
  • USD; 14-day trial

Watch out for:

  • Onboarding is a required $499 one-time cost on Core and above, and API access, serial numbers and the Stockroom app are paid add-ons, per the inFlow pricing page.

Zoho Inventory

Cheapest of the full order-and-stock tools here, Zoho Inventory has a free plan for 50 orders a month with composite items, dropshipment and backorders. It integrates with Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Etsy.

Standard is $29 a month billed yearly for 500 orders, 3 users and 2 locations. Premium adds bins at $79 for 3,000 orders, Plus is $129 for 7,500, and Enterprise is $249 for 15,000.

Best for: Small brands replacing Stitch on a budget, especially if they use Zoho Books.

Pricing:

  • Free: 50 orders a month, 1 user
  • Standard: $29 a month billed yearly, 500 orders
  • Premium: $79; Plus: $129; Enterprise: $249, all billed yearly
  • USD per organization, excluding taxes

Watch out for:

  • Add-ons for extra orders, users and locations are sold separately, per the Zoho Inventory pricing page, so check them before you add staff or a warehouse.

Linnworks

Marketplace sellers with high order counts often pick Linnworks for its order routing and listing tools. Pricing follows monthly order volume, not revenue, and there are no percentage fees.

In North America you can also buy SkuVault Core, the warehouse management product under the same roof, and add forecasting for a flat fee.

Best for: Sellers shipping large daily order counts across many marketplaces.

Pricing:

  • No public price; quote by monthly order volume
  • One-off onboarding fee

Watch out for:

  • You need a sales call for a price, and onboarding is charged as a one-off fee, per the Linnworks pricing page.

Katana

Katana is the pick when you make, kit or assemble what you sell, which plain inventory apps handle poorly. The Free plan includes unlimited users, integrations and locations, and the paid Advantage plan adds unlimited SKUs, a customer success manager and 24/7 support.

Advantage is sold as a custom annual contract with guided implementation included. Katana says there is no per-user charge and no piecemeal invoicing.

Best for: Makers and brands that track raw materials and production next to sales.

Pricing:

  • Free: $0, no card, up to 30 SKUs after 15 days
  • Advantage: custom pricing, annual contract

Watch out for:

  • The free plan drops to 30 SKUs after 15 days, and Shopify is its only e-commerce integration, per the Katana pricing page.

Sortly

For teams that mostly need to know what is on the shelf, Sortly counts items, not orders. Plans are sized by unique items, user licenses and active jobs, and the free plan tracks 100 items for one user.

New customers get 50% off the first year of a yearly plan, so Advanced is $24 a month ($288 billed yearly) for 500 items and 2 users. Ultra is $74 a month and Premium $149, which adds QuickBooks Online.

Best for: Small teams counting stock, supplies or equipment rather than syncing store orders.

Pricing:

  • Free: 100 items, 1 user, 2 active jobs
  • Advanced: $24 a month, $288 billed yearly in year one (list $49)
  • Ultra: $74 a month, $888 yearly (list $149)
  • Premium: $149 a month, $1,788 yearly (list $299)
  • USD; 14-day trial

Watch out for:

  • The first-year price is half off; after that yearly plans get 20% off list, and the trial needs a credit card, per the Sortly pricing page.
  • No Shopify or marketplace sync, so it cannot replace Stitch's order handling.

When to stay with Stitch Labs

Staying is not possible: Stitch Labs stopped serving its last customers in spring 2021. If you came to Stitch through Square, look at Square's own tools first, since that is where Square moved the Stitch team. If you only need marketplace listings rather than stock control, a listing tool may be enough.
