Linnworks does not publish prices. You request a quote, and the price is tiered by your monthly order count, with overage charges if you go above your tier. There are two packages, Linnworks and SkuVault Core, plus add-on modules and a one-off onboarding fee. There are no percentage-of-revenue fees. Everything below comes from Linnworks' own pricing page, and no dollar figure is quoted here because the vendor does not publish one.
That makes Linnworks pricing hard to compare, so this guide covers what the quote is built from, what drives it up, the questions to put to a sales rep before you sign, and what a seller with a few hundred SKUs and a few thousand orders a month can buy for a published flat price instead.
How does Linnworks pricing work?
Linnworks prices on order volume. According to its pricing page, pricing is tiered on monthly orders, and overages apply when you exceed your tier. The Listing module, the Linnworks WMS module and SkuVault Enhanced Warehouse are also priced on order counts, while Linnworks Forecasting is a flat fee. Integrations are described as unlimited and usually free. Revenue is not part of the formula.
| Cost element | How Linnworks charges |
|---|---|
| Core package (Linnworks or SkuVault Core) | Quote, tiered by monthly orders |
| Order overages | Charged when you pass your tier |
| Listing, WMS, Enhanced Warehouse modules | Add-ons, also based on order counts |
| Forecasting module | Flat fee, amount not published |
| Integrations and API | Described as unlimited, usually free |
| Onboarding | One-off fee set by your needs and timing |
Linnworks vs SkuVault Core, which package is which?
Linnworks describes SkuVault Core as the usual choice for retailers moving off spreadsheets who want a fast, organized warehouse, and says it is only sold in North America. The Linnworks package is aimed at retailers who want one platform from listing to shipping with automated order management. Quality control, serialization, product substitution and a 3PL client portal belong to SkuVault Core, so a US 3PL or a seller who sells kits will look there first.
What does Linnworks cost per month?
Linnworks does not say, and no honest third party can either without a quote in hand. Reseller pages and review sites that print a specific monthly number are repeating old or anecdotal figures. Expect the quote to rise with order volume, with each add-on module, and with onboarding, which Linnworks recommends buying. If you need a number for a budget, ask for a written quote at your current volume and at double it, so you see how steep the tiers are.
Questions to ask before you sign
- Which order count do you bill on, and are returns, cancellations and multi-line orders counted?
- What is the overage rate per order, and does the tier reset or ratchet up?
- Which of listing, WMS, Enhanced Warehouse and forecasting do I actually need on day one?
- What is the onboarding fee and what does it include?
- What are the contract length and renewal terms?
Does Linnworks forecast demand?
Yes, through the Linnworks Forecasting module, which uses historical sales, seasonality and similar products to time replenishment. It is sold separately for a flat fee. On Storekeeper, SKU level forecasting is part of every plan, starting at $49 a month, with auto-drafted purchase orders on Growth at $149 a month.
Who Linnworks fits and who should look elsewhere
Linnworks is built for sellers pushing real order volume across many marketplaces, with shipping rules across 70 plus carriers and a large channel list. If you ship thousands of orders a month from several channels and have staff to run a warehouse system, a quote-based platform can make sense. If your problem is deciding what to reorder and when, across one to five locations, a priced plan is simpler to buy. Our Linnworks alternative comparison sets it against Cin7, Zoho Inventory, inFlow and others, and the multichannel inventory management page shows how Storekeeper syncs channels at a published price.
Linnworks pricing next to tools that publish a price
If you have to defend a number to a partner or a bank, published plans make that easy. Cin7 Core starts at $349 a month (see Cin7 pricing), Fishbowl at $229 a month billed annually (Fishbowl pricing), inFlow at $129 a month billed annually (inFlow pricing), and Zoho Inventory at $29 a month annually (Zoho Inventory pricing). Each has limits on users, orders or locations, and forecasting is often a higher tier or an add-on, so read the guide for the one you shortlist. None of these is a like-for-like replacement for a high-volume marketplace platform, and we say so on the Linnworks alternative page. Brightpearl is the other big quote-only platform, covered in Brightpearl pricing, and the SkuVault side is broken down in SkuVault pricing.
A published-price route to the same reorders
Storekeeper Starter is $49 a month ($39 billed yearly) with AI forecasting per SKU, reorder alerts and dead stock detection. Growth is $149 ($119 yearly) with five locations, channel sync, supplier lead times and auto-drafted purchase orders. Scale is $499 ($399 yearly). See the full pricing page, or read how the purchase order software turns a forecast into supplier orders. Once orders are placed, a tool like purchase order management for US businesses can handle approvals and supplier follow-up when several people raise orders.
