PalmFlow vs Merqo
Merqo is one of the more promising newer tools — mobile-first with a real teams tier. It's also early. If you're weighing it against PalmFlow, maturity is the main axis.
Bottom line: Merqo is promising — mobile-first, with bundling/lot workflows and a rare teams tier — but it's early (paid plans are still 'coming soon' and it leans UK/Vinted). PalmFlow is the more mature choice today: documented eBay API sync, deeper inventory (bins, SLA, timeline) and bookkeeping, and an audit trail. Worth watching Merqo; PalmFlow if you need it solid now.
