Planster vs Prediko
Prediko is a well-loved Shopify inventory app with a genuinely good AI agent — for Shopify brands under about $2M. Planster is a decision-first demand-planning platform for $10–50M consumable CPG that sells across every channel, with scenario consequence previews and a retail-deal pipeline Prediko doesn't have.
The short answer
No tool wins for everyone. Here's the honest split.
Multichannel CPG brands ($10–50M) selling beyond Shopify who need scenario planning, a retail-deal pipeline, and an agent that reasons about capital and deals — not just SKU replenishment.
Shopify-only DTC brands (under ~$2M GMV) who want a highly-rated, affordable inventory app with a solid PO-drafting agent.
Feature-by-feature
| Capability | Planster | Prediko |
|---|---|---|
| Works beyond Shopify (multichannel) | DTC, Amazon, Walmart, retail, wholesale + 150+ WMS/3PL systems via Trackstar | Shopify-EXCLUSIVE — requires a Shopify store as its demand spine |
| Brand-size fit ($10–50M) | Purpose-built for the $10–50M mid-market | Pricing tiers cap around a ">$2M GMV" tier — built for smaller brands |
| Scenario planning with consequence preview | Sandbox what-ifs; capital preview before commit; version history + un-promote | None — a single-plan, reactive replenishment tool |
| Retail-deal pipeline → demand (risk-buy math) | Deals overlay the plan at full volume with order-by dates and capital-at-risk math | No retail-deal or sales-pipeline planning |
| AI agent | Overnight digest + reply-to-draft POs; reasons about capital, scenarios, and retail deals | "Pia" is genuinely good — daily digests and draft POs — but scoped to inventory only |
| Pricing | Flat ~$1,000/mo, everything included | Revenue-tiered $49–$349/mo — much cheaper for small brands |
| Reviews | Newer to market — building its review base | Shopify App Store 4.9/5 (~225 reviews) |
Where Planster pulls ahead
See what a decision costs before you commit
Planster's Master Plan runs every what-if through your real ordering engine and shows the consequence — which POs move and how much capital the change pulls forward — before you say yes. Most planning tools tell you what to reorder; Planster tells you what a whole scenario commits.
Plan the retail launch, not just the reorder
Planster's Pipeline treats retail deals as living demand: a deal overlays your plan at full volume and does the risk-buy math — the order-by date to hit the launch, and the capital at risk if it falls through. That founder-level "do I buy before the buyer decides?" question is one a reorder tool never answers.
The grunt work happens overnight — the decision stays yours
Every night the Planster Agent checks every SKU, PO, and channel and emails a ranked morning digest with draft POs attached. Reply in plain English to draft; approve in the app. It cannot promote, approve, or send on its own — by design.
Pricing
Flat ~$1,000/month, everything included — built for $10–50M multichannel brands.
Revenue-tiered $49–$349/month (much cheaper for small brands), plus a raw-materials add-on, capping around a ">$2M GMV" tier — below Planster's $10–50M band. Genuinely good value for a small Shopify brand.

When Prediko is the better fit
No tool wins for everyone. Here's where Prediko is the honest choice.
- You're a Shopify-only brand under ~$2M GMV and want a highly-rated, low-cost inventory app.
- Your planning needs are SKU replenishment, not multi-channel or retail-deal planning.
- Pia's inventory-focused agent covers your needs and the price is right.
Common questions
Can I use Prediko if I'm not on Shopify?
No — Prediko requires a Shopify store as its demand spine. Planster works across Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, retail, and wholesale, plus 150+ WMS and 3PL systems via Trackstar, so it fits multichannel brands that have outgrown a Shopify-only tool.
Does Prediko have an AI agent?
Yes — Prediko's "Pia" is a genuinely capable agent that drafts POs and sends daily digests, scoped to inventory. Planster's agent additionally reasons about capital commitments, scenarios, and retail deals, not just SKU replenishment.
