Sortly review

Sortly is the easiest tool here to start using. You photograph items, place them in folders that mirror your shelves or vans, and print QR code labels so anyone can scan stock in or out with a phone. The free plan covers 100 unique items and 1 user. Advanced costs $49 a month, or $24 a month for the first year on yearly billing, and raises the limits to 500 items and 2 users with unlimited QR labels. Ultra, at $74 a month in the first year on yearly billing, adds barcode labels and purchase orders and allows 2,000 items and 5 users. Premium adds custom role permissions and a QuickBooks Online integration. Sortly also links items to jobs, so a contractor can see what went out to which project. It does not sync orders from marketplaces or online stores, so sellers on several channels should look at Zoho or Cin7. We compared documented features and published prices; Sortly scores highest for ease of use.
