Looking for a Cogsy alternative?

Cogsy has been discontinued and is no longer available. The question now is not whether to leave. It is which part of Cogsy you actually have to replace.

Competitor facts are quoted from each company's own public pages, each dated in the Sources section at the foot.

Cogsy has been discontinued and is no longer available, in its owner's own words. cogsy.com now redirects to maypleglobal.com/cogsy, a page carrying that one sentence and almost nothing else. We followed the redirect on 10 September 2026. No shutdown date is published there or anywhere else we could find, so if you see one quoted, treat it as somebody's guess.

So the question changed. It is no longer whether to leave. It is which part of Cogsy you actually have to replace, and that is nearly always narrower than the feature list you were paying for.

How do you know it is really gone?

Three checks, all done on 10 September 2026, all repeatable in under a minute.

cogsy.com returns a 301 redirect to maypleglobal.com/cogsy. The pricing page this article was originally built from redirects to the same notice.
That notice reads, in full: “Cogsy has been discontinued and is no longer available.” It thanks everyone who used Cogsy, says Cogsy was part of Mayple, and offers a button through to Mayple. There is nothing else on the page.
Mayple sells something else now. Its homepage headline is “Sell everywhere. Ship like a local.” and the product it describes takes over everything past your Shopify checkout. Cross-border shipping, not demand planning.

What nobody publishes is a date. We will not infer one from a review timestamp or an archive snapshot and print it as fact, and it is worth being suspicious of any page that does. If you also lived through the Stocky closure in August, the contrast is the thing to notice. Shopify published a closing date, a delisting date and an export window. Cogsy's owner published one sentence.

Why is Cogsy still listed on the Shopify App Store?

Because the listing was never pulled. On 10 September 2026 apps.shopify.com/cogsy still loaded, still showed 4.9 stars from 13 reviews, still advertised $199 per month with a free trial, and still gave a launch date of 1 July 2021. Its own links to the vendor site land on the discontinuation notice.

Carry that into whatever you shortlist next. A live App Store listing is not evidence that a product is running. The vendor's own domain settles it in ten seconds, and those are ten seconds worth spending before you enter card details.

Which part of Cogsy do you actually need to replace?

Cogsy's pricing page, read on 30 August 2026 while the site was still up, listed demand planning, growth planning, multi-location support, subscriptions, replenishment alerts, purchase orders, backorders, a marketing events calendar and new product planning, all on one plan at $199 per month. Hardly anybody used all of that. Find the row you logged in for.

What you used it for	Where that job goes now
Purchase orders, receiving, transfers	Shopify's built-in tools, included in your plan. Record-keeping only, no suggested quantity anywhere
Demand planning and reorder quantities	Prediko, Inventory Planner or Restocio. This is the part Shopify does not replace
Replenishment alerts	Any of the three above. Shopify holds no minimum or maximum level per variant, so nothing native fires
Amazon alongside Shopify	Inventory Planner published multi-channel integrations when we read its site. Not us, we connect to one Shopify store
Subscriptions and backorders	Neither Shopify's built-in tools nor Restocio. Check what your subscriptions app already reports
Marketing events calendar	Nothing on this page. Campaign-led planning is a different category of product
Choosing sea, rail or air on an order	Restocio. Cogsy's pricing page never described freight modes

The field, on published facts

Prediko's pricing page was re-read on 10 September 2026 and its row is current. We could not re-read Inventory Planner's page that day, so its row keeps the 30 August 2026 date from when we last read it. Where a page does not describe something the cell says so rather than guessing, because absence from a pricing page is not proof a product lacks a feature.

Option	Published price	Meter	Best when
Shopify's built-in tools	Included	None	You mainly needed purchase orders and transfers, and you are willing to do the sizing yourself
Prediko	From $49/mo	Annual GMV	Large catalog, modest revenue, or you need bills of materials or an API
Inventory Planner	Not published	Volume of inventory managed	Several warehouses, several channels, or an ERP in the mix
Restocio	$149–$299/mo	Catalog size	You import, and the freight decision costs you real money

Cogsy is not a row any more, and that removes the option this article used to say was the right answer for a lot of people: staying put. Switching is no longer something you can price against doing nothing.

What happens to your data?

Nobody has published an answer. Mayple's notice says nothing about exports, account access or a read-only window, and it carries no support address. That is a long way from how the Stocky closure was handled, where Shopify published a transition page stating that read-only export access continues for at least 90 days.

If you still have a working login, export today. Suppliers first, then lead times, then unit cost history, then anything ordered and not yet received. If you have already lost access, Mayple is the only party who can answer, and we would rather tell you that than describe a process we have not seen.

Losing the export costs evenings rather than the business. Your Shopify store still holds every order you have ever shipped, which is enough to rebuild a demand forecast in any tool in the table. What it does not hold is your supplier list, your lead times or what you paid per unit.

Where we fit, and it is narrow

Restocio exists for one shape of business: a Shopify store that imports, where the same order can travel by sea, rail or air and the choice changes both the cost and the arrival date. We split a single order across modes so the air premium is paid only on the units that cannot wait, and we count production time inside the lead time, which is the difference between a deadline you hit and one you miss by a month. The longer argument is in our guide to replenishment on Shopify.

If freight is not a decision you make, that whole capability is worth nothing to you, and one of the other tools above is a better use of your money.

What we do not do

Said plainly, because you will find out in week two otherwise. There is no API. There are no bills of materials or raw materials planning. We connect to one Shopify store, so multi-location and multi-channel planning are out. Our entry plan covers 500 products, which is a real constraint if you carry thousands. Duty is also not yet inside our unit landed cost, so every report built on that number states on the page that the values are short by the duty on imported goods. Prediko's pricing page publishes unlimited SKUs at its entry tier and full API access; Inventory Planner publishes multi-location and a long list of channel and ERP integrations. On those points they are simply ahead of us. The full list of stores we are wrong for is on who Restocio is not for.

What you rebuild when you move

This is the part nobody quotes you for, and it is the same whichever tool you land on. Budget a week of evenings rather than an afternoon.

Supplier records. Names, contacts, currencies and payment terms. Usually retyped, because supplier data is the least standardised thing in any of these tools.
Lead times. The number that decides every order date. Copying the figure you had is a mistake worth avoiding: most stores are carrying a lead time somebody guessed once, and a migration is the natural moment to check it against what your last five deliveries actually took.
Cost history. What you have paid per unit over time. If it does not come across, your first landed cost calculations in the new tool are built on one data point.
Open purchase orders. Anything already placed and not yet received has to exist in the new system on day one, or your available-to-sell number is wrong from the start.

The advice this article used to give was to run both tools in parallel for one ordering cycle before cancelling anything. That is not available to you now. The substitute is to run your first cycle in the new tool and check its first three recommendations against what you would have ordered yourself, before you place them.

How do you decide in ten minutes?

Look at your last ten purchase orders. If the recurring pain was ordering the wrong quantity, you want the strongest forecasting you can afford and the price meter decides the rest. If the recurring pain was paying for air on a whole shipment because two products were late, or goods landing three weeks after you needed them, that is the problem we built for.

Common questions

Is Cogsy still available?

No. cogsy.com returns a 301 redirect to maypleglobal.com/cogsy, which states that Cogsy has been discontinued and is no longer available. We followed that redirect on 10 September 2026.

When did Cogsy shut down?

No date has been published. Mayple's notice gives none, and Cogsy's Shopify App Store listing gives none either. We would rather leave that blank than infer a date from a review timestamp and present it as a fact. The one date we can stand behind is our own check, 10 September 2026.

Why is Cogsy still on the Shopify App Store?

Because the listing was never taken down. On 10 September 2026 it still loaded, still showed 4.9 stars from 13 reviews and $199 per month, and gave a launch date of 1 July 2021, while every link on it to the vendor's own site landed on the discontinuation notice. A live listing is not evidence that a product is running.

What replaced Cogsy?

Nothing replaced it as a single product, so the answer depends on which part you used. Shopify's built-in tools cover purchase orders, transfers and receiving. For demand planning, Prediko published $49 per month under $100K annual GMV when we read its page on 10 September 2026, and Inventory Planner publishes multi-channel and multi-warehouse support though not its prices. Restocio is narrower than all of them and is aimed at Shopify stores that import.

Is there a free alternative to Cogsy?

Shopify's own built-in inventory tools are included with your plan and cover purchase orders and transfers. They leave the sizing decision to you, which is the part most paid tools are actually sold on.

Can I still export my data from Cogsy?

Nobody has published an answer. Mayple's notice says nothing about exports, account access or a read-only window, and lists no support contact. If you still have a login, export your suppliers, lead times, unit costs and open purchase orders now. If you do not, Mayple is the only party who can tell you what is left.

How much did Cogsy cost?

Its pricing page listed one plan, All in one, at $199 per month with a 14-day free trial, read on 30 August 2026 while the site was still up. The header also mentioned plans from $49 per month that were never detailed. That page is gone, so treat the figure as a record rather than a live price.
