Cogsy has been discontinued. Here's what to use instead

Cogsy was one of the better-liked Shopify inventory planning tools of its generation, which is why people still search for it. The short answer if you're one of them: Cogsy has been discontinued. It became part of Mayple, and its old site now redirects to a discontinuation notice. No relaunch, no rebrand, no migration path published.

What Cogsy stood for, operational planning that looked forward instead of reporting backwards, is still worth wanting. Here's where its users have gone, honestly sorted by what you actually valued in it.

If you valued the demand planning and POs: Prediko

The closest living relative. Shopify-native, AI demand forecasting, purchase orders with buying alerts, multi-store support. From $49 a month under $100k GMV, scaling with revenue, 14-day trial, billed through Shopify. We compared it properly in Prediko vs Cushion.

If backorders were your thing: Fabrikator

Shopify-focused with notably good backorder management alongside forecasting and PO automation. From $79 to $350 a month depending on revenue, 14-day trial, 30-day money-back guarantee.

If you're bigger now: Inventory Planner by Sage

The category heavyweight, deepest on multi-location replenishment. Pricing is sales-gated and their own material quotes five to six weeks to go live, so it's a considered move rather than a swap. Full picture: Inventory Planner vs Cushion.

If the real job was staying ahead of cash: Cushion

Here's the honest read on why a tool like Cogsy gets used in the first place: founders don't want an inventory dashboard, they want to stop being ambushed by their own stock orders. Every pure planner, Cogsy included, could only ever do half of that, because it couldn't see your bank.

Cushion joins the halves: your sales forecast drives your reorder plan, and both sit against your live cash position from your bank and your books (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, FreeAgent, NetSuite), so an order shows up as what it is, a cash decision with a date. £299 a month flat, 14 days free, live the same day.
