Free plan available — no credit card needed. Up to 30 products free forever. Detect dead stock before it kills your cash flow. Forecast demand so you never over-order again. See which products drive 80% of your revenue. Upgrade anytime for unlimited products, AI forecasting, and graphs. Connects to your Shopify data — no setup needed. Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Key points
  • Automatic dead stock detection across all your product variants
  • Velocity scoring classifies every SKU as dead, critical, slow, or healthy
