Kwickly Answers vs. Sortly: Stock Counts Beside Bookings and Orders

What Sortly does, and what Kwickly Answers adds

Sortly's pricing page (read 13 Oct 2026) sizes plans by unique items and user licenses: Free for 100 items and 1 user, Advanced for 500 and 2, Ultra for 2,000 and 5, Premium for 5,000 and 8, and Enterprise on a quote. Its features page lists low stock alerts, barcode and QR scanning with label printing, custom folders, purchase orders, item check-in and check-out and reports, and its help center says quantity alerts are on the paid plans, not Free.

Kwickly Answers counts stock where a service business sells. Each product you sell carries a "Units in stock" number: blank means not tracked and 0 means out. At 0 your web shop shows the item as sold out, an order cannot ask for more than the count, and the phone and chat assistants are told not to promise it; the chat also says when just a few are left.

Those counts sit in the same account as your services, calendar and customer list, so a salon's retail shelf or a trade's parts for sale live next to the bookings. You keep each count up to date yourself today, because a sale does not reduce it.

How do the plans compare?

Sortly Advanced is $49 a month, or $24 a month in the first year of a yearly plan, for 500 items, and Kwickly Answers stock counts come with every plan, from $14.99 a month.

Is Kwickly Answers a Sortly alternative?

Yes, Kwickly Answers is a Sortly alternative for a service business whose stock is the products it sells: a count on each item sits beside your bookings, web shop and chat, from $14.99 a month. Sortly is a dedicated inventory tool with barcodes, folders, alerts and purchase orders, sized by items and users.

What does Kwickly Answers do with stock today?

Kwickly Answers keeps one count on each item you sell and acts on it when it reaches zero: your web shop shows the item sold out, an order cannot ask for more than the count, and the phone and chat assistants are told not to promise it. You update each count yourself, because a sale does not reduce it today, and an owner's product list marks items with 3 or fewer left.

Does Kwickly Answers work if I just need to keep counts on what I sell?

Yes, Kwickly Answers works for keeping a count on the products a service business sells, with nothing extra to buy: counts come with every plan, from $14.99 a month. Barcode scanning, folders by location and stock that counts itself down are not part of it today.

Sortly or Kwickly Answers for a business that sells products beside its services?

Kwickly Answers suits a business that books services and sells a shelf of products, and wants the counts, the bookings, the shop and the phone in one account. Sortly's pages describe a standalone inventory tool for items, folders, barcodes and purchase orders, priced by items and users.

Which Sortly features are built, planned or not part of Kwickly Answers today?

• Built, not switched on yet: stock that comes off the count when an online order is placed and goes back on a cancel or full refund, with a history of every change; a low-stock email at a level you set; supplies your services use up when a visit is marked done; and suppliers, a reorder list and orders to suppliers that add to the count when received, where Sortly's features page lists low stock alerts and purchase orders.
• Not part of Kwickly Answers today: barcode and QR scanning, custom folders and stock kept by location, which Sortly's features page lists.
• What Kwickly Answers does today: one count on each item you sell, on every plan from $14.99 a month, which marks the item sold out in your web shop at 0 and keeps the assistants from promising it.
