ReplenishRadar Lite vs Standard: Which One Fits?
Quick Verdict
If you sell under 50 SKUs across one Shopify store and one Amazon account, do under $10k a month, and just need inventory tracking with weekly stockout alerts - start on Lite. If you need forecasting, purchase orders, FBA intelligence, hourly sync, Slack, multi-store, or a buyer on staff - start on Standard. Lite is right-sized for one-person stores. Standard is right-sized for actual ops.
The pricing question I get most from solopreneurs is some version of: "Standard is $99 a month and assumes I have 2,000 SKUs. I have 32. Why am I paying for forecasting I don't need?"
Fair question. The answer is Lite, and this is the honest comparison.
Who Lite is built for
Lite is for the seller who:
- Runs 1 Shopify store + 1 Amazon account - both, not just one.
- Has fewer than 50 active SKUs.
- Does less than $10,000 in revenue per 30 days.
- Wants to know what's about to run out without scrolling Seller Central and Shopify Admin in two tabs.
- Does not need demand forecasting, purchase orders, FBA fee intelligence, Slack alerts, hourly sync, multi-store, or team seats.
That's a real seller. They are getting taxed by every "starter" tier in this category that starts at $99 and ships features built for someone five sizes bigger.
Who Standard is built for
Standard is for the seller who:
- Runs 2 stores - any combination of Shopify + Amazon.
- Has up to 2,000 SKUs.
- Wants demand forecasting that picks the right model per SKU pattern.
- Wants purchase order workflow with supplier records, MOQs, and email send.
- Wants FBA visibility and real-time Amazon inventory via push notifications.
- Wants 30-minute Shopify sync instead of weekly.
If any of those bullets is a hard requirement for you, Lite isn't the fit. Standard is.
Side-by-side: Lite vs Standard vs Growth
| Capability | Lite ($9.99/mo) | Standard ($99/mo) | Growth ($199/mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tracked SKUs | 50 | 2,000 | 20,000 |
| Connected stores | 1 Shopify + 1 Amazon | 2 (any combo) | 5 |
| Revenue cap (30d) | $10k | None | None |
| Sync cadence | Weekly + 1 manual/day | Real-time Amazon, 30-min Shopify | Real-time Amazon, 15-min Shopify |
| Manual refresh cooldown | 24 hours | 2 hours | 30 minutes |
| Stockout alerts | Weekly digest email | Real-time | Real-time + Slack |
| Days of cover | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Reorder math | Yes (sales-velocity based) | Yes | Yes |
| Demand forecasting | - | Basic (single model) | Smart (per-SKU model selection) |
| Purchase orders | - | Yes | Yes + Cadence Ordering |
| Vendor / supplier workflows | - | Yes | Yes |
| FBA Intelligence | - | Visibility only | Active alerts |
| Catalog Health (cleanup) | - | Read-only | Active |
| Profit Intelligence | - | Summary only | Full dashboard |
| API access | - | - | Read-only |
| Notification channels | - | - | Up to 3 (email, Slack, etc.) |
| Team seats | 1 | 2 | 5 |
| Shopify Flow triggers | - | - | - |
| Refund | 30-day | 30-day + 90-day ROI | 30-day + 90-day ROI |
The dashes are honest. Lite doesn't ship a half-broken version of forecasting. Lite doesn't ship a "view-only" PO module. Lite has zero of those. It is days of cover, reorder math, weekly stockout digest, and one inventory dashboard. That's the entire product.
When Lite is wrong
Don't start on Lite if you:
- Sell on only Shopify or only Amazon. Lite requires hybrid.
- Carry more than 50 active SKUs today. The hard cap will bite within a month.
- Do more than $10k/30d in revenue today. The revenue cap will bite within a month.
- Already have a buyer on staff generating purchase orders. The PO workflow is on Standard.
- Need Slack alerts today. Email-only on Lite.
- Need forecasting today. Lite has none.
- Need multi-store (e.g. US + UK Shopify, or two Amazon marketplaces). 1 + 1 only on Lite.
If any of those is true, the $99/mo Standard tier is the right starting point - and the 14-day trial lets you validate that before you pay anything.
When Standard is overkill
If you are a solopreneur with 32 SKUs across one Shopify and one Amazon, doing $5k a month, and what you actually want is "tell me when I'm about to run out so I can reorder," Standard is overkill. You will pay $99/mo for a forecasting engine you don't need on a catalog too small to forecast meaningfully, and for a PO workflow you'll never trigger because you reorder by emailing your supplier directly.
That's the whole reason Lite exists.
How to pick
Two questions:
- Do you currently exceed any of Lite's caps? (50 SKUs, $10k/30d, 1 Shopify + 1 Amazon, 1 user.) If yes, start on Standard.
- Do you need any of Lite's gaps to run your business today? (Forecasting, POs, FBA intel, Slack, hourly sync, multi-store.) If yes, start on Standard.
If both answers are no, start on Lite. You can upgrade any day without losing data.
Try Lite
Start a 14-day Lite trial - credit card required, cancel before day 15 and you won't be charged.
Or jump to Standard if your operation is past Lite's caps. Both options are visible because picking the right size is the whole point.
