Sortly is the friendliest app here for people who think about stock visually. Items sit in photo folders, can be found by barcode or QR code, and update in real time across phone and web. The free plan allows 100 unique items and one user license, and quantities of each item do not count against the limit, so 100 product lines with thousands of units still fit. Sortly also tracks items against jobs, which suits sellers who pull stock for events or projects. The free tier is the narrowest on this list for teams, though, because it allows only one user. Advanced costs $49 a month billed monthly, or $24 a month for the first year on yearly billing before a smaller ongoing discount, and it raises limits to 500 items and 2 users. Purchase orders arrive on Ultra and QuickBooks Online on Premium, so Sortly works best as a counting tool rather than an order system.
