Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Genuinely free plan with 50 orders/month — one of the only inventory platforms with a meaningful free tier
  • Native AUD pricing from A$43/month (annual) — significantly cheaper than Cin7 (USD $349/mo) and Unleashed (NZD $399/mo)
  • Australian data centres in Sydney and Melbourne with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification — genuine AU data sovereignty
  • Native integration with both Xero and Zoho Books — covers the two most popular AU small business accounting platforms
  • Seamless Zoho ecosystem integration (CRM, Commerce, Desk, Analytics) for businesses already in the Zoho stack
  • Multi-channel e-commerce sync across Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and WooCommerce from a single dashboard
  • 14-day free trial of paid plans with no credit card required, plus a forever-free plan to test with
  • Australia Post shipping available through EasyPost and Easyship connectors with 80+ carrier options

Cons

  • Only 2 users included on Standard through Premium plans — growing teams face additional per-user costs
  • No native MYOB integration — requires Zoho Flow or third-party connectors, a gap for MYOB-centric Australian businesses
  • Lacks manufacturing features (MRP, BOM, production tracking) available in Cin7 Pro and above
  • No advanced warehouse management (wave picking, bin tracking, pick-pack-ship workflows) compared to Cin7 Advanced
  • Support team is not AU-based — phone and email support handled by global team, with Basic plan limited to email only
  • Order-based pricing means high-volume businesses hit plan ceilings quickly — Enterprise caps at 15,000 orders/month
  • Smaller AU partner and consultant ecosystem compared to established Cin7 and Unleashed networks
