PalmFlow vs Sortly
Sortly is a great general inventory app, but it's marketplace-agnostic. If you're a reseller deciding between Sortly and PalmFlow, the reseller features are the whole story.
Bottom line: Sortly is a strong general inventory app — barcode/QR, labels, pick lists, and solid team roles. But it's marketplace-agnostic: no eBay sync, no fee math, no resale P&L. If you just need to track physical stuff, Sortly is great. If you're a reseller who wants inventory plus eBay sync and profit tracking in one place, PalmFlow is built for that and costs less per month at the paid tier.
