If you're looking for free inventory management software, three options stand out, but for very different reasons. First, ODU. ODO is our pick for automation and room to grow. It can track products through receiving, storage, and shipping and support replenishing rules when stocks run low. ODU's one app free plan lets you use inventory with unlimited users on the ODU online. The catch? Adding other business apps can move you to a paid plan. Next, Square.
Square is the better fit for retail overall. Its free inventory tools connect directly with Square POSOS, so recorded sales update your stock count. You also get low stock alerts and spreadsheet imports, but features like purchase orders, barcode label printing, and more advanced inventory reporting require a paid plan, and payment processing fees still apply. Third is Zoho Inventory. Now, this is a good option for small e-commerce operations. The free plan includes composite items which is useful if you sell product bundles but the US free plan is limited too.
You get 50 orders per month, one user, one location. So which should you choose? ODU for warehouse workflows, Square for retail inventory, Zoho Inventory for small e-commerce operations. Our full technology guide compares six free inventory management options, including their pricing, limits, and trade-offs. Find the full comparison at the link below.
