The self-hosted Zoho Inventory alternative
Restock: Import your sales history and get reorder points, days-of-stock, and suggested order quantities per SKU. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Zoho Inventory every month.
Stop renting Zoho Inventory.
4 months of Zoho Inventory costs what Restock costs once.
Buy onceHow we counted: The annual entry figure on the US page ($29); monthly it is $39. Re-read 2026-09-26 in both states on the US page and on the global page this row used to cite, which answers a European address in euros and keeps the older names and caps (Standard 29 with 2 users, Professional 79, Premium 129, Enterprise 249). On the US page the 79 tier is Premium and the 129 tier Plus. Every cap is sold as an add-on. No free plan appears on either page today. Restock is one payment.

Stay with Zoho Inventory if you need multi-warehouse order management and the rest of Zoho around it. Restock is the reorder brain — forecasts and reorder points — on your own server.
What Restock deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Zoho Inventory.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Zoho Inventory's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Restock vs renting comparison.

Is the forecasting math a black box?
