StockRoom vs Zoho Inventory
If you already run your business on Zoho, Zoho Inventory is probably the right answer and this page will not talk you out of it.
What Zoho Inventory is
Part of the Zoho suite. Multi-channel orders, shipping integrations, and a direct line into Zoho Books for accounting.
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
| Zoho Inventory | StockRoom | |
|---|---|---|
| If you already use Zoho | A clear advantage: one login, and it talks to Zoho Books directly. | Standalone. We would be another tool alongside your accounts. |
| Setup | Reviewers report it gets complicated once several channels, warehouses and accounting links are involved. | Deliberately less to configure, because there is deliberately less. |
| Where things are | Reviewers have asked for better bin-level location detail. Worth checking whether this has changed. | Locations from the first version, with per-location figures on every item. |
| Order volume limits | Plans have historically been metered on orders per month. Check their current terms. | Metered on how many products you have, not how busy you are. Free to 50 products, then £24 a month regardless of volume. |
| Proof it is correct | Not published. | 100,000 simulated days, 21 kinds of sabotage, published rules. |
When Zoho Inventory is the better choice
Genuinely - if any of these describe you, they will serve you better than we will:
- You already use Zoho Books, CRM or the wider suite. The integration is worth more than anything we offer.
- You need multi-channel order management and shipping labels in one place.
- You want accounting and inventory from a single vendor.
When we are
You do not use Zoho, you want one small tool that does stock properly, and you would rather not configure a suite.
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 We do not quote their prices, we say where they are better, and we describe their product as they describe it. If you think anything here is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will correct it - an unfair comparison page costs more than it earns.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 Zoho Inventory means exporting from them and importing a spreadsheet.
