inFlow Inventory vs Cin7 Core: published prices, order limits and fit

inFlow Inventory vs Cin7: which Cin7 product and what it costs

The Cin7 product that competes with inFlow Inventory is Cin7 Core, and it does publish prices: Standard is $349 a month, Pro is $599 and Advanced is $1,199, in US dollars excluding taxes, as read on 3 October 2026. Cin7's other product, Cin7 Omni, is a custom-quoted system for larger companies and has no public price.

inFlow Inventory starts lower. Lite is $99 a month billed annually or $129 month to month, Core is $299 or $379, Pro is $499 or $629 and Max is $699 or $879. Cin7's pricing page gives one monthly figure per plan and does not say whether it assumes monthly or annual billing, so ask before comparing totals.

Side by side on nine criteria

What inFlow Inventory does that Cin7 Core does not

inFlow does not meter orders or integrations. A seller taking 700 orders a month would pass Cin7 Core Standard's 6,000 a year cap and need Pro at $599 a month. On inFlow the same volume fits any plan, and the choice comes down to seats and locations. That seller with five staff and two warehouses lands on inFlow Core at $299 a month billed annually plus the required one-time $499 onboarding package.

inFlow also has a cheaper product for teams that only scan stock in and out. inFlow Stockroom is $69 a month billed annually. The inFlow pricing breakdown has every add-on.

What Cin7 Core does that inFlow Inventory does not list

Cin7 Core includes unlimited inventory locations and five users on its first plan, where inFlow Lite has one location and two members. Cin7 Core lists a point of sale add-on that turns a mobile device into a register. inFlow's official feature list has a Square payment integration but no point of sale module of its own.

Cin7 Core also lists material requirements planning from the Pro plan and an advanced warehouse management app on Advanced, with picking for kits and FIFO or FEFO pick enforcement. inFlow Manufacturing covers bills of materials and manufacture orders but its feature list does not include MRP.

Who should choose inFlow and who should choose Cin7 Core

• Choose inFlow Inventory if you have two to five staff and want to pay under $300 a month billed annually, or up to ten staff on Pro at $499, and your order count is high relative to your team size.
• Choose Cin7 Core Standard if you need five users and several locations from day one, sell under 6,000 orders a year, and want an in-house point of sale.
• Choose Cin7 Core Pro or Advanced if you need MRP or directed warehouse picking.
• Look at Cin7 Omni or Finale Inventory if you run high-volume multichannel fulfillment. See the Finale comparison.

What switching between Cin7 Core and inFlow involves

Both systems import and export spreadsheets, so the move is a data exercise rather than a technical one. For inFlow, the getting started guide imports products first, then costs, then stock levels by location. Customers, vendors and open orders have their own import files.

1. Export products, stock on hand by location, customers and suppliers from the system you are leaving.
2. Choose the costing method in the new system before importing products.
3. Import products, then stock levels, then open purchase and sales orders.
4. Reconnect QuickBooks Online or Xero and the sales channels last, after stock values agree.
5. Count a sample of bins on cutover day.
