Honest comparison · updated July 2026
Sortly is solid general-purpose inventory — warehouses, QR labels, office equipment, job sites. But it doesn't know what a customer is. If you sell products to people — at markets, in DMs, on payment plans — you end up paying warehouse prices for half of what your business runs on.

Sortly answers "where is it and how many do we have?" StashQ answers that plus "who bought it, who still owes me, and what do I restock before Saturday's market?" If inventory is your whole job, Sortly scales further. If inventory is half of a business you run from a folding table and an inbox, StashQ covers the whole job for a third of the price.
