StockRoom vs inFlow Inventory
inFlow is a capable, established system with far more features than we have. That is exactly the trade-off.
What inFlow Inventory is
A full inventory and order management system: purchasing, sales orders, B2B portal, barcode hardware, integrations. Aimed at businesses with a warehouse and staff.
We have not quoted their prices here. Pricing changes, and a stale figure on our site would be unfair to them and misleading to you - check their own site for what it costs today.
Where we differ
| inFlow Inventory | StockRoom | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Broad: purchasing, sales orders, manufacturing, a B2B showroom, reporting. | Narrow on purpose: what you have, what to reorder, what it is worth. If you need sales orders and a B2B portal, we are the wrong tool. |
| Getting started | More to set up, because there is more of it. | One required field to add a product: its name. Everything else can wait until you have it. |
| Web and mobile | Reviewers note some tasks need the desktop or web app rather than the phone. | One interface. Everything works everywhere, including counting from a phone. |
| Price | Materially more, and priced for a bigger operation. Check their site for current figures. | £24 a month, published on our pricing page, free up to 50 products. |
| Proof it is correct | Not published. | 100,000 simulated days, published rules, and an evidence file. |
When inFlow Inventory is the better choice
Genuinely - if any of these describe you, they will serve you better than we will:
- You need purchase orders, sales orders and fulfilment as one connected system.
- You have staff, a warehouse and barcode hardware, and need roles and permissions.
- You are doing light manufacturing or assembly and need bills of materials.
When we are
You are one to ten people, your stock is a spreadsheet today, and you want something correct and quick rather than something comprehensive.
And one thing nobody else in this price range publishes: exactly how we know our numbers are right - 100,000 simulated days, twenty-one kinds of deliberate sabotage, and the rules we hold ourselves to written out in plain English.

Questions
Is this comparison fair?
We have tried hard to make it so. We do not quote their prices, we say where they are better, and we describe their product as they describe it. If you think anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will correct it - an unfair comparison page costs more than it earns.
Can I move my data between them?
From us, yes: one click, complete, and re-importable - including after you cancel. Moving in from inFlow Inventory means exporting from them and importing a spreadsheet.
