Bottom line: If you only need bin/QR home inventory, Sortly’s business pricing is the wrong tool, not a “bad” product.

Winner: 2Pack Storage
Most home users don't need custom fields or API access. 2Pack Storage gives you QR labels, unlimited items and photos, tags, and locations without the monthly bill. Save ~$1,200+ over 3 years vs Advanced.
Winner: 2Pack Storage
Moving is a one-time project. Starting a monthly subscription for a 1-2 month move doesn't make sense. Pay once for labels, use the free web app, done.
Winner: 2Pack Storage
Small businesses need to watch costs. $288/year (Advanced yr1 annual) adds up. 2Pack Storage offers unlimited users and all core features for free, so you can put that money elsewhere.
Winner: Sortly Premium
Larger teams get real value from Sortly's custom fields, detailed reports, API integration, and priority support. The subscription is justified at this scale.
Winner: Sortly Enterprise or Full WMS
At this scale you need dedicated support, custom integrations, audit logs, and security controls. Sortly Premium/Enterprise ($299/month list or custom) or a proper warehouse management system is the right tool.
Winner: 2Pack Storage
Another $49/month doesn't sound like much, but it becomes $288/year (Advanced yr1 annual) and $540 over five years. 2Pack Storage covers the same core functionality for the price of a label pack.

Total migration time: 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on inventory size.
2Pack Storage's app is completely free forever with no subscription, no monthly fees, and no hidden costs. You only pay once for the physical QR code labels ($5.95–$7.95). All app features are included: generous storage limits, tags, locations, and users. We make money from label sales, not subscriptions.
Over 5 years: ~$1,200+ vs Sortly Advanced (3 years) ($49/month), $1,740+ vs Sortly Premium ($149/month), $4,140+ vs Sortly Enterprise ($299/month). That's real money you can spend elsewhere.
Sortly offers CSV export. While 2Pack Storage doesn't have automatic import yet, you can work from your export file to manually re-enter data, or start fresh. Most users find starting fresh takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on inventory size.
Sortly Premium/Enterprise has advanced features like custom fields, API access, detailed analytics, audit logs, and enterprise-level reporting. If you need these features, Sortly might be worth the subscription. Most home users and small businesses don't need them.
Yes. The core app will always be free with generous storage limits, and users. We may add optional premium features in the future, but the free tier will remain free forever. Our business model is selling labels, not subscriptions.
No, Sortly uses their own QR code format. You'll need to purchase 2Pack Storage labels. The good news: our labels start at just $5.95 per 24-label pack in the app, and one Advanced month ($49 list) already costs more than several 2Pack Storage label packs.
You can switch anytime. Calculate your sunk cost vs future savings. If you've paid $100 so far but will pay $288/year (Advanced yr1 annual) forever, switching to 2Pack Storage saves $540+ over the next 5 years. The sooner you switch, the more you save.
Bottom line: For home users and small businesses, 2Pack Storage covers what you need without the monthly bill. Sortly is better for larger organizations with real enterprise requirements. Both work - the question is whether you need free forever (2Pack Storage) or advanced features like custom fields and API access (Sortly Premium+).
Switch to 2Pack Storage and save ~$1,200+ over 5 years. The features you need, no subscription required.
