The Sortly alternative without the renewal surprise

If your renewal email just jumped, you are in the right place. StockZip keeps the folder-and-photo workflow you already know, publishes flat pricing that is the same at renewal as it is at signup, and imports your whole Sortly account from a single CSV.

The money math, first

What you’ll actually pay over three years

StockZip publishes flat annual pricing and locks your signup price for renewal — the same figure every year. Sortly’s yearly discount is 50% off the first year, then 20% off after that (per sortly.com’s published pricing, as of July 2026), so the same plan bills more in years two and three. Below: StockZip Pro against Sortly’s comparable team tier, Ultra ($149/mo list), over three years.

Switcher questions, answered

Is StockZip a good Sortly alternative?
Yes. StockZip is a direct Sortly alternative built for small businesses. Its paid plans start at $14.99/month billed annually vs Sortly Advanced at $24/month annually (per sortly.com, July 2026), it adds a full order workflow (POs, receiving, pick lists, deliveries, invoices) on Pro, and it is built offline-first for field teams, contractors, and businesses working where internet is unreliable.
Is StockZip cheaper than Sortly?
Yes, at every tier. StockZip is free forever for 100 items with no credit card, and paid plans start at $16.99/month billed monthly or $14.99/month billed annually. Sortly's entry paid plan (Advanced) is $49/month billed monthly or $24/month billed annually, and its mid tier (Ultra) is $149/month or $74/month annually — per sortly.com's published pricing as of July 2026. On monthly billing StockZip's entry plan is roughly 65% less than Sortly's ($16.99 vs $49); at the annual rate it is roughly 37% less ($14.99 vs $24). Note that Sortly's annual rate is 50% off only in year one, so the yearly gap widens after that.
Will my price change when I renew?
No. StockZip locks the price you sign up at for renewal — your signup price is your renewal price, stated in writing on the pricing page. That is the specific thing this page exists to fix: no surprise increase in the renewal email.
Can I migrate my inventory data from Sortly to StockZip?
Yes. Export your inventory from Sortly as a CSV file, then import it directly into StockZip — items, quantities, locations, and custom fields. Most businesses complete migration in under an hour, and the Sortly migration guide walks through field mapping.
What does StockZip do better than Sortly?
Three verifiable differences. Price: StockZip paid plans start at $14.99/month billed annually vs Sortly Advanced at $24/month billed annually (per sortly.com, July 2026). Order workflow: StockZip includes sales orders, pick lists, delivery orders, and invoices on Pro — a document chain Sortly does not offer. Workflow focus: StockZip is built scan-first for stock movements.
What does Sortly do better than StockZip?
Sortly has stronger visual, photo-first features for asset cataloguing and is a great fit for home inventory or personal asset management. It is also a more established brand with a larger public review base. If photo-heavy cataloguing is your main job, Sortly is a strong choice — this page is honest about that.
Does StockZip work offline like Sortly?
Both offer offline capability. Sortly lists Offline Mobile Access on its plans; StockZip is built offline-first, so scanning, stock updates, check-in/check-out, and counts all work with no connection and sync automatically when you are back online. If offline reliability matters, test both in your actual building — a basement or metal warehouse is the honest benchmark.
