Logistified vs Inventory Planner
Inventory Planner (by Sage) is a long-standing forecasting and replenishment tool with broad multi-channel support, typically used by larger, analytics-driven merchants. Its pricing is quote-based and not published, scaling with the inventory and revenue you manage, with independent estimates starting around $245/mo. Logistified is a Shopify-native alternative that covers the same core forecasting, reorder and transfer workflow, then adds AI-agent (MCP) control, a constraint-based purchase optimizer and supplier returns (RMAs), all from a flat $12/mo. For most Shopify brands, that makes Logistified the better-value choice.

Inventory Planner is sales-quote-only and scales with the inventory and revenue you manage; the Shopify listing shows no price and asks you to contact sales for a quote. Independent estimates put a small store around $245 to $300/mo and a mid-market brand around $600/mo, and some reviews cite price increases at renewal. Logistified is transparent flat pricing from $12: you see the price up front, you do not get re-quoted as your revenue grows, and you get the core forecasting, purchasing and returns workflow at a fraction of the entry cost.

Frequently asked
Is Logistified cheaper than Inventory Planner?
Inventory Planner does not publish prices; it is quote-based and pegged to the volume of inventory and revenue you manage, so you have to request a demo to get a number. Independent estimates put the entry point around $245/month. Logistified starts at a flat $12/month and stays flat rather than scaling with your revenue.
Does Inventory Planner support non-Shopify channels?
Yes. Inventory Planner has broad multi-channel support, including Amazon, BigCommerce and WooCommerce. Logistified is Shopify-native and goes deeper on the Shopify workflow rather than spanning many channels.
What does Logistified add over Inventory Planner?
External AI-agent (MCP) control, a constraint-based purchase optimizer, Return Orders (RMAs) with supplier credits, and warehouse barcode scanning, all from $12/mo. Sage Copilot is an internal assistant inside Inventory Planner, not external LLM or agent access.
