Inventory Management ‑ Assisty edges out Sumtracker Inventory Manager on rating (4.8★ vs 4.6★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number. Pricing entry tiers: Inventory Management ‑ Assisty at Free plan available, Sumtracker Inventory Manager at Free trial available. 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. Inventory Management ‑ Assisty has the larger user base (345 reviews vs 118), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns.
