Reorda vs Stockful: free vs $19 Stocky alternative
Stockful is one of the free Stocky alternatives, and “free” is understandably tempting when Stocky is going away. Reorda is $19/month flat. Here’s an honest look at when free is enough and when the paid workflow earns its keep. We build Reorda.
The short version
- Stockful (free) works if you just want basic low-stock visibility and don’t run formal purchase orders.
- Reorda ($19 flat) works if you actually create POs, email suppliers, receive stock against orders, and want your Stocky suppliers rebuilt automatically.
Side by side

Bottom line
Free is a reasonable start if your needs are light. But if Stocky mattered to you because of purchase orders and receiving, a free low-stock tracker won’t replace it — and none of the free options rebuild your suppliers from the Stocky history Stocky won’t export. Reorda does, and the trial is free to test it. More on the supplier rebuild.
Migrating off Stocky?
Reorda rebuilds your supplier database automatically from your purchase order history — the one thing Stocky never let you export. $19/month flat, 14-day free trial.

Is Stockful really free?
Stockful offers a free, basic Stocky alternative focused on simple low-stock tracking. It's a fair starting point, but it covers less of the full purchasing workflow than paid tools.
Why pay $19 for Reorda if Stockful is free?
Reorda adds the parts a free tool usually leaves out: emailing purchase orders to suppliers, partial/full receiving that updates Shopify inventory, sales-based low-stock forecasts, stocktakes, and — critically for Stocky migrants — automatic supplier rebuild from your Stocky PO history.
Can I start free and move to Reorda later?
Yes. Reorda has a 14-day free trial, so you can try the full workflow before deciding. If your needs are minimal, a free tool may be enough; if you run real purchase orders, Reorda pays for itself in saved time.
