Assumption: The annual-billing entry figure, which is what the page shows; the plan caps orders, users and locations and sells each as an add-on. Restock is one payment with no meters.

What Zoho Inventory does that we don't

Zoho Inventory is a full order-and-warehouse system inside the Zoho suite, with a free plan for tiny volumes.

Who should stay with Zoho Inventory

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. Full honest limitations are on the product page.

Why owning beats renting Zoho Inventory

  • One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
  • Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Zoho Inventory's cloud.
  • No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
  • It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.

Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Restock vs Zoho Inventory comparison.
