Where Stockful goes deeper

2 years of history, not 90 days

Stockie's forecasting analyses your last 90 days of sales. Stockful trains on up to 2 years pulled from Shopify - which is what it takes to learn annual patterns. A Christmas line's demand simply isn't visible in a 90-day window.

Five models, chosen per SKU

Baseline, trend, day-of-week, annual seasonality and an intermittent-demand model for slow movers. A richer model is adopted only when it beats the baseline on a backtest of that SKU's own history, and accuracy is re-measured continuously.

A full visibility layer

Daily snapshots of every variant at every location, 100+ built-in reports plus a builder for your own, ABC analysis, dead stock detection, anomaly alerts with likely causes, and per-location health scores. Stockie gives you a dashboard and low-stock alerts; this is the reporting layer underneath.

An AI assistant on every plan

Ask what to reorder before the weekend, why a SKU spiked, or what's at risk this week - grounded in your live shop data. One-click health checks and plain-English explanations on every metric.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the main difference between Stockful and Stockie?
Depth. Both create purchase orders in-app, with supplier records and low-stock alerts. Stockie forecasts from your last 90 days of sales; Stockful trains five candidate models per SKU on up to 2 years of history pulled from Shopify, learns seasonality per product, and captures daily snapshots per variant and location, plus 100+ schedulable reports, ABC analysis, Shopify Flow integration and an AI assistant. Purchasing goes further too: partial receipts, and shipping and duties allocated across units for true landed cost.
Which is cheaper?
Stockie starts lower ($4.99/mo), with its forecasting features on higher tiers up to $59.99/mo. Stockful runs $19.99-$79.99/mo based on tracked SKUs and locations, with every feature - forecasting, AI, purchase orders, reports, alerts - on every plan. Both offer 14-day free trials, so you can run them side by side on your own data.
Why does forecast history depth matter?
Because seasonal demand repeats yearly. A forecast built on the last 90 days can follow recent velocity, but it can't see that a product peaks every December or dies every summer - that pattern only exists in year-plus history. Stockful pulls up to 2 years of sales from Shopify at install and learns each product's seasonal shape, with no manual 'same period last year' setup.
Can Stockful create purchase orders like Stockie?
Both create purchase orders in-app. Stockful groups your reorder recommendations into one draft order per supplier, priced from that supplier's list, and sends it as a branded PDF or by email. You receive stock as it arrives - in transit, accept or reject, partial receipts - and shipping, duties and fees allocate across units for a true landed cost that feeds your average cost and margins. It works alongside Shopify inventory and Shopify POS, and landed cost can sync back to Shopify's cost per item.
Which is the better Stocky replacement?
Both replace Stocky's purchase orders, so the question is what else you need. Stockie is the lighter option if POs and basic reordering were all you used Stocky for. Stockful covers the same purchasing ground - suppliers, price lists, receiving, landed cost - and adds the rest of what Stocky did: daily snapshots, 100+ reports, forecasting on 2 years of history, ABC analysis and alerts. It also imports your Stocky suppliers and purchase-order history directly, which has to happen before Stocky's API shuts down on 31 August 2026.
Does Stockie have reports like Stockful?
Stockie is built around an inventory dashboard and low-stock alerts rather than a report library, and its email and Slack delivery is for those alerts. Stockful has 100+ built-in reports that run live against your current data, a builder for anything the library does not cover, and scheduled delivery of any report to email, Slack, a webhook, Google Sheets or Airtable.

Move off Stocky before you have to.

Install Stockful and you start with a year of daily stock history already in place, not an empty chart. Switch with a working replacement in hand well before 31 August 2026.
