Pricing entry tiers: Inventory Management ‑ Assisty at Free plan available, LineNow AI ‑ POs & Inventory at Free. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies.
