StoreProfit vs Cogsy: demand planning depth vs profit-aware reordering

At a glance

Feature by feature

What StoreProfit adds

StoreProfit approaches the same decision from the money side. Because it already computes profit per product after landed cost, fees and attributed ad spend, its reorder suggestions reflect what an item actually earns rather than only how fast it moves - and those two rankings differ more often than people expect once advertising is included. Committed purchase orders then flow into a cash projection on the dates the deposit and balance actually leave the account, which is the number that decides whether a restock is possible at all. StoreProfit connects the plan to the bank balance and the P&L, which is where a restock is actually decided.

• Cash flow forecasting at SKU level, including committed restock payments, so you see a shortfall weeks before it happens.
• Inventory forecasting and purchase orders in the same app as the profit numbers, rather than as a separate subscription.
• Landed cost per batch: each receipt keeps the price actually paid, so historical margins stay accurate after a supplier price change.
• Ad spend from Meta, Google and TikTok attributed down to individual products.

What Cogsy leaves to another tool

• No profit analytics: net profit per order, ad spend and margin reporting are outside the product.
• $199/mo flat is a high entry point for a smaller store, with no cheaper tier.
• Cash flow forecasting is not named as a feature in their public material.

What Cogsy focuses on

Forecasting demand for a product with no sales history is the part most tools quietly avoid, and it is exactly the problem a growing DTC brand has every time it launches something. Cogsy takes it seriously, and the scenario planning that goes with it means you can test an inventory strategy on screen before committing real cash to a container. Backorder and pre-order support is the other genuinely useful piece: a stockout stops being a total loss if the demand can still be captured. That combination is what Cogsy concentrates on.

• Twelve-month demand planning that covers new products, not only ones with sales history - a genuinely hard problem.
• Backorder and pre-order handling, so a stockout can still capture the sale instead of losing it.
• What-if scenario planning for testing an inventory strategy before committing cash to it.
• One flat price with no order-volume banding.

Pricing compared

Cogsy is a single flat $199/mo with a 14-day trial and no cheaper tier, which makes it expensive for a smaller store and reasonable for a larger one. StoreProfit runs from free at 50 orders to $199 with no order ceiling, so below a few thousand orders a month the gap is wide, and at the top the two are level. Worth remembering that at $199 Cogsy covers inventory only, while StoreProfit at the same price also covers profit and cash. Prices checked 9 August 2026.

Getting set up takes minutes

Setup is a few minutes, not a project. StoreProfit reads the cost per item you already keep in Shopify and imports it in one click, so your margins are right across your whole order history straight away - and if you would rather use your own landed costs, a CSV upload does the lot in one go. Orders, products and payouts come directly from Shopify, so the analysis covers what you have already sold rather than starting from today. The free plan goes up to 50 orders a month, so you can see your real numbers before you commit to anything. Supplier lead times and safety stock take a few minutes more, and you get the profit side working at the same time rather than as a separate subscription.
