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 demand and supply planning platform for $50–500M consumable CPG that sells across every channel, with scenario planning and retail deal planning, which Prediko doesn't have.

The short answer
No tool wins for everyone. Here's the honest split.
Multichannel CPG brands and manufacturers ($50–500M) selling beyond Shopify who need scenario planning, retail deal planning, and an agent that also flags deals and scenarios needing a decision — 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 |
| Company-size fit ($50–500M) | Purpose-built for $50–500M consumable CPG brands and manufacturers | Pricing tiers cap around a ">$2M GMV" tier — built for smaller brands |
| Scenario planning with a cost preview | Model scenarios; see the cash a change commits before approving it; version history and roll-back | 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 and draft POs; also flags retail deals and scenarios that need a decision | "Pia" is genuinely good — daily digests and draft POs — but scoped to inventory only |
| Pricing | Plan $999/mo for the full app; published tiers, unlimited users | 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 scenario through the same ordering calculation as your live plan and shows which POs move and how much cash the change pulls forward, before anyone approves it. Most planning tools tell you what to reorder; Planster also shows what a whole scenario commits.
Plan the retail launch, not just the reorder
Planster's Pipeline puts retail deals into the demand plan at full volume and calculates the order-by date to make the launch and the cash at risk if the deal falls through. Whether to buy before the buyer decides is a question a reorder tool does not answer.
Checks run overnight; decisions stay with your team
Every night Planster checks every SKU, PO and channel and emails a ranked morning digest with draft POs attached. Your team changes what it wants changed and approves in the app. It cannot approve a plan or an order, or send anything, on its own, and no setting changes that.
Pricing
Plan $999/month for the full app, on published tiers — built for $50–500M multichannel brands and manufacturers.
Revenue-tiered $49–$349/month (much cheaper for small brands), plus a raw-materials add-on, capping around a ">$2M GMV" tier — far below Planster's $50–500M 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 also flags retail deals and scenarios that need a decision — for example a deal marked won but not yet in the plan — not just SKU replenishment.
