Quick summary
Assisty is a popular Shopify analytics and reporting app with 300+ reports, a free tier, and a Stocky replacement positioning. It covers inventory, sales, and customer analytics with a broad feature set.
Stockwise is narrowly focused on reorder forecasting. Instead of 300 reports, it gives you one clear dashboard: which products are at risk, when they'll run out, and how much to order. It also includes purchase orders, PDF export, and offline sales blending, none of which Assisty offers.

The key difference
Assisty is a reporting platform that happens to include inventory features. Stockwise is an inventory reorder tool that includes purchase orders, offline sales blending, and automatic inventory updates on receipt. If you need broad analytics across sales, customers, and inventory, Assisty has more coverage.
If your primary need is knowing what to reorder and when, especially if you have sales outside Shopify, Stockwise is more focused and will get you to an answer faster.
Who should choose Stockwise
- Merchants who want a focused reorder dashboard with purchase orders and offline sales blending
- Stores with offline sales not captured in Shopify that need blended forecasting
- Merchants who want automatic inventory updates when a PO is received
- Merchants who want a simple 5-minute setup
Who should choose Assisty
