LogiStock vs Prediko: Honest Comparison for Shopify Merchants (2026)
With Stocky shutting down on August 31, 2026, thousands of Shopify merchants are evaluating their options for inventory management. Two names keep surfacing in conversations: Prediko, the established player with strong reviews, and LogiStock, the newcomer built specifically for the post-Stocky world. Both apps promise AI-powered forecasting and purchase order automation. But they take fundamentally different approaches to pricing, methodology, and what “inventory intelligence” actually means for a mid-market Shopify store.
This is a genuine side-by-side comparison. We built LogiStock, so we’re biased. We’ll be upfront about that. But we’ll also be fair about what Prediko does well, because misleading you doesn’t help anyone.

What Prediko does well
Credit where it’s due: Prediko has built a strong product.
AI demand planning is their core strength. Prediko positions itself as “AI-native demand planning,” and they deliver on that promise. Their forecasting engine uses machine learning models trained on your sales data, and merchants with 12+ months of history consistently report accurate predictions. If demand forecasting is the single most important feature for your business, Prediko is a serious contender.
The reviews speak for themselves. A 4.9-star rating across 189 reviews on the Shopify App Store is not easy to achieve. That score reflects a product that works reliably and a support team that responds quickly. They claim 2,000+ merchants, which means a meaningful track record in production.
PO automation is polished. Creating and managing purchase orders in Prediko feels smooth. Supplier integration, reorder suggestions, and the overall workflow are well-thought-out. They’ve had time to refine these features based on real merchant feedback.
Support structure is premium. Every plan includes a dedicated Customer Success Manager and a private Slack channel. For merchants who want hands-on guidance setting up their inventory system, that’s genuinely valuable.
Full API access is available across plans, which matters for stores with custom integrations or reporting needs.
Where Prediko falls short
Pricing is GMV-based, and that changes the math. Prediko’s plans start at $49/mo for stores doing under $100K in annual revenue. That sounds reasonable until you realize the price scales upward as your store grows. A merchant doing $500K/year pays significantly more than one doing $80K/year, even if both have identical inventory complexity. This is a growth tax: the more successful your store becomes, the more you pay for the same core features.
The pricing model lacks transparency. Prediko doesn’t make it straightforward to calculate your exact cost at different revenue levels. You often need to contact sales or start a trial to see your actual price. For merchants who want to budget accurately before committing, this creates friction.
There’s no free tier. The 14-day trial is standard, but once it expires, you’re at $49/mo minimum. For a store doing $50K/year and running 30 SKUs, $588/year is a significant inventory management expense. There’s no way to start small and grow into the product.
No DDMRP methodology. Prediko uses traditional forecasting to set reorder points and safety stock. That works, but it doesn’t account for the demand variability and supply chain uncertainty that DDMRP dynamic buffers are specifically designed to handle. If your products have irregular demand patterns or unreliable lead times, forecast-based reorder points alone can leave you exposed.
What LogiStock does differently
Transparent, flat pricing. LogiStock has three tiers: Free ($0, up to 50 SKUs), Starter ($19/mo), and Pro ($49/mo). That’s it. Your price doesn’t change based on revenue, order volume, or GMV. A store doing $2M/year pays the same $49/mo as a store doing $200K/year if they’re both on Pro. You can see exactly what you’ll pay before you install anything.
A real free tier, not a trial. The Free plan isn’t a 14-day sample. It’s a permanent option for stores with up to 50 SKUs. Small merchants can use LogiStock indefinitely without paying anything. When you’re ready for more, Starter at $19/mo is less than half of Prediko’s entry price.
DDMRP dynamic safety buffers. This is a genuine methodological difference. Instead of relying solely on demand forecasts to set static reorder points, LogiStock uses Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) to create dynamic buffers that adapt in real time. Each SKU gets a buffer zone (red, yellow, green) that shifts based on actual demand signals, lead time variability, and supply reliability. The result: fewer emergency stockouts and less capital tied up in excess inventory.
Exception-based management. LogiStock doesn’t just show you dashboards and expect you to find the problems. It actively surfaces exceptions: SKUs that are about to stock out, products that are overstocked and tying up cash, suppliers with deteriorating lead times. You deal with what needs attention instead of reviewing every SKU every week.
Natural language AI assistant. Ask questions in plain English: “Which products will stock out in the next 14 days?” or “Create a PO for my top 5 vendors by volume.” The assistant understands inventory context and can execute actions, not just return data.

Who should choose what
Choose Prediko if:
- Your store is established and you have budget for premium tooling ($49/mo and up)
- Demand forecasting accuracy is your top priority, and you have 12+ months of sales data to feed the model
- You value a proven track record: 189 reviews and 2,000+ merchants means Prediko has seen edge cases you haven’t thought of yet
- You want a dedicated CSM and private Slack channel from day one
- The GMV-based pricing model doesn’t concern you because your revenue is stable or you’re willing to pay more as you grow
Choose LogiStock if:
- You’re cost-conscious and want to know exactly what you’ll pay at every growth stage
- You want to start free and upgrade only when your business demands it
- DDMRP dynamic buffers matter to you, especially if your products have variable demand or your suppliers have inconsistent lead times
- You prefer exception-based workflow over dashboard-driven analysis: see what’s broken, fix it, move on
- You’re migrating from Stocky and want the closest thing to a free built-in tool with modern capabilities
- Your store does under $100K/year and $49/mo is hard to justify for inventory software
The bottom line
Prediko is a strong product with a real track record. If your store has the revenue to absorb GMV-based pricing and you prioritize forecast accuracy above all else, it’s a solid choice.
LogiStock is built on a different premise: that inventory management should be affordable and transparent from day one, that dynamic buffers outperform static reorder points, and that merchants shouldn’t need to study dashboards to know what needs their attention.
