ReplenishRadar vs Stocky: Stocky Is Shutting Down. Now What?

This comparison page used to be about choosing between two active tools. That is no longer the situation. Shopify pulled Stocky from the App Store on February 2, 2026, and the app stops working entirely on August 31, 2026.

If you are a Stocky user, you need a migration plan. Here is what happened, what you lose, and what your options look like.

What happened to Stocky

Shopify has been winding Stocky down in stages:

• July 7, 2025: Core features removed -- inventory transfers, min/max forecasting, barcode printing, and replenishment workflows all went away.
• February 2, 2026: Stocky was delisted from the Shopify App Store. No new installs.
• August 31, 2026: Complete shutdown. The app stops functioning.

Shopify's official replacement is their built-in Admin inventory management. I will be direct: those built-in tools handle basic stock counts and location transfers, but they do not forecast demand, do not generate reorder suggestions, and do not connect to Amazon. For sellers who relied on Stocky for purchase order suggestions and restock planning, the built-in replacement is a downgrade.

What Stocky did well (while it lasted)

I have no interest in trashing a tool that already has a shutdown date. Stocky was genuinely useful for small, single-channel Shopify sellers. It shipped free, required no setup, and generated basic purchase order suggestions from recent sales velocity. For a seller with 30 SKUs on one channel, that was real value.

The limitations were always there, though. No Amazon support. No statistical forecasting. No safety stock calculations. No lead time variability. Those gaps are why many sellers were already looking for alternatives before the shutdown announcement.

What Stocky users actually need to replace

Here is the honest feature gap analysis for someone migrating off Stocky:

What you lose from Stocky	What you need from a replacement
Basic reorder suggestions	Reorder recommendations (ideally forecast-driven)
Simple PO creation	Purchase order workflow with supplier management
Recent velocity view	Actual demand forecasting with trends and seasonality
Shopify-only inventory view	Multi-channel inventory (especially if you sell on Amazon)
Nothing (never had it)	Safety stock calculation, days-to-stockout, FBA planning

The last row matters. Stocky was never a complete planning tool. If you are migrating, this is a good time to move to something that fills the gaps Stocky always had, not just replaces the features you are losing.

Feature comparison

Capability	Stocky (shutting down)	ReplenishRadar
Status	Delisted Feb 2026, shutdown Aug 2026	Active, growing
Price	Was free (Shopify POS Pro / Plus)	$99-$499/mo based on SKUs
Shopify integration	Native (while it lasts)	Native (OAuth)
Amazon integration	None	Native (SP-API)
Demand forecasting	Recent velocity only (transfers/min-max already removed)	Statistical model with trends and seasonality
Safety stock calculation	No	Yes, with lead time variability
Days-to-stockout	No	Yes, per SKU per channel
FBA transfer planning	No	Built-in with inbound plan creation
MOQ and casepack enforcement	No	Automatic
Multi-location inventory	Basic Shopify locations	Unified across channels and warehouses

The real cost of staying too long

I have talked to sellers who are still using Stocky with its reduced feature set, hoping Shopify will reverse course. They will not. The deprecation timeline is published and progressing on schedule.

Every month you stay on a dying tool is a month where your reorder decisions are based on diminishing data. The transfers feature is already gone. Min/max forecasting is gone. What is left is a shell of what Stocky used to be, and it shuts off entirely in six months.

We built ReplenishRadar to handle exactly the problems Stocky was trying to solve, but with the depth that growing sellers actually need. Unified demand across Shopify and Amazon. Statistical forecasting instead of simple velocity. Safety stock that accounts for supplier variability. FBA transfer planning. The migration from Stocky takes minutes -- connect your Shopify store via OAuth and your historical data syncs.

Who should move to ReplenishRadar

If any of these describe you, the choice is straightforward:

• You are currently on Stocky and need a migration path before August 2026
• You sell on Amazon and Shopify (Stocky never supported this)
• You have over 50 SKUs and need real forecasting, not just recent velocity
• You manage FBA inventory and need transfer planning
• You have been manually compensating for features Stocky lacked
