If you're comparing Sortly and Stoccly, you're likely weighing a mobile-first asset tracker against a system built for making and selling physical products. Sortly is great when the job is to know where things are. Stoccly is built for teams that also need to know what they can build, when to reorder, and which supplier to email — multi-warehouse stock, multi-level BOMs, and auto-drafted purchase orders are all included on every plan.
No single tool is right for every team. Here's an honest take on who is best served by Sortly and who is best served by Stoccly.
Sortly is built around asset and item tracking with photos and folders — great for visual inventories, but it doesn't model bills of materials or buildable units. Stoccly handles multi-level BOMs and shows you live buildable counts as raw stock moves.
Stoccly auto-drafts purchase orders from low-stock and reorder-point alerts, then emails them to suppliers. Sortly focuses on quantity alerts; the PO and replenishment workflow lives in another tool.
Stoccly supports per-warehouse reorder points, safety stock, and demand-based forecasting so reorders match how each location actually sells. Sortly tracks min quantities at a simpler, item-level granularity.
Stoccly is flat per-user with every feature included on every plan. Sortly's tiers gate features like custom fields, integrations, API access, and user count — small teams can outgrow a tier quickly.

Sortly is a mobile-first inventory and asset tracking app aimed at small businesses, field service teams, schools, and offices. It's particularly strong for visual inventories — items with photos, custom fields, and folders — and is often picked by teams that need to track equipment, tools, supplies, or fixed assets across locations.
Sortly shines for asset tracking and photo-driven inventories: equipment that moves between job sites, prop and rental catalogs, classroom or lab supplies, and small retail back-stock. The mobile experience is the star, and teams that primarily live on a phone often prefer it to a desktop-first inventory tool.
Teams that make or assemble products often outgrow Sortly when they need bills of materials, buildable counts, structured purchasing, or multi-warehouse logic. The most common reasons we hear: needing real BOMs and production tracking, wanting auto-drafted POs tied to low-stock alerts, and hitting tier limits as user count or feature needs grow.
Stoccly focuses on the workflows product teams live in: multi-warehouse stock, multi-level BOMs with live buildable counts, auto-drafted purchase orders, per-warehouse reorder points, and clear insights. Every plan includes every feature at a flat per-user price, so you're not picking between tiers as your catalog and team grow.

Browse hubSortly is strongest for asset and item tracking, not manufacturing. It doesn't model bills of materials, sub-assemblies, or buildable counts. If you assemble products from components, Stoccly or another manufacturing-focused tool is usually a better fit.
Yes. Sortly lets you export your inventory to CSV, and Stoccly's importer offers a dry-run preview before committing changes. Most teams migrate items, quantities, and locations in an afternoon.
Stoccly is a responsive web app that works on any phone browser, with QR deep links so you can scan a label and jump straight to the item. There's no native app to install — the same URL works on desktop and mobile.
It depends on team size and which features you need. Sortly's free and lower tiers are very cheap for small catalogs but gate features like custom fields, API access, and additional users. Stoccly is flat per-user with every feature included, which is usually more predictable as your team grows.
Teams that primarily track physical assets, equipment, or photo-driven catalogs across mobile devices — and don't need bills of materials, production tracking, or auto-drafted purchase orders — are often better served by Sortly.
No credit card. Bring a CSV from Sortly or your spreadsheet — be running by lunch.
