Sortly Pricing and Cost per Plan

Sortly pricing has four public plans. Advanced is $49 a month, Ultra is $149 and Premium is $299 when billed monthly, and Enterprise is a custom quote. A free plan covers 100 items and 1 user. New customers on a yearly plan currently get 50% off the first year ($24, $74 and $149 a month), then 20% off after that. Purchase orders start on Ultra and the QuickBooks Online integration starts on Premium. Every figure below comes from Sortly's own pricing page.

Sortly is a visual stock tracker built around photos, folders, QR codes and a mobile app, and its plans are priced by the number of unique items, user licenses and active jobs. That suits tool cribs, job sites and supply rooms. It is a weaker fit if you need to know what to buy next, because Sortly records stock and sends low stock alerts but does not forecast demand. The sections below show what each plan includes, what the promotional pricing hides, three budgets and how the cost compares with other tools.

Sortly pricing by plan

Plan	Monthly price	Yearly promo (first year)	Unique items	Users	Active jobs
Free	$0	$0	100	1	2
Advanced	$49	$24 a month ($288 a year)	500	2	5
Ultra	$149	$74 a month ($888 a year)	2,000	5	10
Premium	$299	$149 a month ($1,788 a year)	5,000	8	15
Enterprise	Quote	Quote	10,000+	12+	Unlimited

Prices are in US dollars. Sortly says the 50% yearly discount applies only to the first year of a new subscription and that a 20% discount applies to yearly plans after that, so the number on the banner is not the number you pay in year two. All paid plans start with a 14-day free trial. A unique item is a product line, SKU, tool or piece of equipment, and quantities of an item do not count toward the limit, so 500 unique items can hold thousands of units.

How much does Sortly cost per month?

Sortly costs $49 to $299 a month on the three self-serve plans when billed monthly, and about $24 to $149 a month in the first year on a yearly plan. Most small teams with a few hundred SKUs and a handful of users end up on Ultra at $149 a month, because that is where purchase orders and 2,000 items start.

What each Sortly plan adds

Feature	Advanced	Ultra	Premium	Enterprise
Mobile app, photos, folders, low stock alerts	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
QR code label creation	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited	Unlimited
Barcode label creation	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Purchase orders	No	Yes	Yes	Yes
Custom role permissions	No	No	Yes	Yes
QuickBooks Online integration	No	No	Yes	Yes
API and webhooks	No	No	No	Yes

The pattern to notice is that the plans are gated by workflow, not only by size. A team with 300 items that wants to send purchase orders cannot stay on Advanced. A team that wants invoices and purchase orders to flow into QuickBooks Online pays $299 a month, three times the Ultra price for a connection that other tools include lower down. Anyone who needs the API is in custom-quote territory.

Does Sortly have a free plan?

Yes. The free plan is $0 for 100 unique items, 1 user and 2 active jobs. It works as a trial of the app on a small tool crib, and it stops there: no purchase orders, no barcode labels and one login. A second person who needs access moves you to Advanced at $49 a month.

Does Sortly forecast demand or suggest reorders?

No. Sortly sends low stock alerts when an item falls below a minimum you set, and on Ultra and above it can turn a reorder into a purchase order. It does not calculate how much to buy from sales history, seasonality or supplier lead time. If the question you ask every week is what to order and when, you need a planning tool on top of, or instead of, a stock tracker.

Three Sortly budgets

A contractor with 200 tools and parts and 2 users

Advanced fits: $49 a month, or $24 a month in the first year on a yearly plan ($288). With 5 active jobs the limit arrives quickly if crews run several sites. Check the job count before you commit to annual billing.

A retailer or wholesaler with 1,500 SKUs and 4 users who orders from suppliers

Ultra is the plan: $149 a month, or $888 in the first year billed yearly. Purchase orders and barcode labels are included. Without a forecast, though, the reorder quantities are still your own judgment, and a spreadsheet of past sales usually sits next to the app.

A growing business with 4,000 items that posts to QuickBooks Online

Premium at $299 a month, or $1,788 in the first year billed yearly. This is the first tier with the QuickBooks Online connection and custom roles, and it is also the point where a purpose-built planner with auto-drafted purchase orders costs less than Sortly does.

Sortly vs other inventory tools on price

Tool	Entry price with purchase orders	How it charges	Demand forecasting
Sortly Ultra	$149/mo	Unique items, users and active jobs	No
Sortly Premium (QuickBooks Online)	$299/mo	Unique items, users and active jobs	No
Storekeeper Starter	$49/mo ($39 yearly)	Flat, 1 location, no item or user cap	Yes, per SKU
Storekeeper Growth	$149/mo ($119 yearly)	Flat, up to 5 locations	Yes, with auto-drafted purchase orders

Where Sortly wins is simplicity in the field. Photos, QR labels and a phone app make it quick to roll out to a crew that has never used inventory software, and it is strong for tools, equipment and supplies. Where it costs more is when the job is buying decisions for products you resell. Storekeeper Growth is the same $149 a month as Sortly Ultra, with no cap on item count, per-SKU forecasts, reorder points built from supplier lead times and draft purchase orders per supplier. Our Sortly alternative page compares the two in detail, and the purchase order software page shows the ordering workflow. If you connect several tools to your books, an integration platform for syncing apps and databases can bridge systems that a plan tier leaves unconnected.

Is Sortly worth it?

Sortly is worth it for contractors, facilities and service teams that track tools, equipment and supplies and want something a field crew will actually use. It is less good value for a business that sells what it stocks, because the price climbs with item count, purchase orders need Ultra, and nothing in the plan tells you how much to reorder. In that case a flat-priced planner such as Storekeeper Starter at $49 a month covers the buying decision for less.

Questions to ask before you buy Sortly

• How many unique items will you have in a year? Limits are 100, 500, 2,000 and 5,000 on the plans, and Ultra is the first with purchase orders.
• How many jobs run at once? Active jobs are capped at 2, 5, 10 and 15 before Enterprise.
• Do you need QuickBooks Online? It is Premium only, at $299 a month.
• What will year two cost? The 50% promo applies to the first year, then 20% off.
• Would a flat price fit better? Compare Storekeeper's plans with the inFlow pricing and Zoho Inventory pricing guides.
