Comparisons

Restocio vs Cogsy

Cogsy has been discontinued, so this stopped being a choice between two products. The useful question now is where a store that ran on Cogsy should land.

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

Cogsy has been discontinued. Put cogsy.com into a browser and you are redirected to maypleglobal.com/cogsy, a page whose entire content is the sentence “Cogsy has been discontinued and is no longer available.” We followed that redirect ourselves on 10 September 2026. No shutdown date is published there or anywhere else we could find, so this page does not give one.

That changes what this page is for. It was written as a live comparison between two things you could buy, and only one of them is still for sale. Everything below is written for the person who was running on Cogsy and needs somewhere to land. Where it describes Cogsy, it describes what Cogsy published while it was live, with the date we read it.

How do you know Cogsy is gone?

Three things we checked on 10 September 2026, in the order we checked them.

cogsy.com returns a 301 redirect to maypleglobal.com/cogsy. So do the sub-pages we had on file, including the pricing page this comparison was originally built from.
What it redirects to is a notice, not a product site. The full text is the discontinuation sentence, a thank-you to everyone who used Cogsy, a line saying Cogsy was part of Mayple, and a button through to Mayple. Nothing else.
Mayple sells something different now. Its homepage headline is “Sell everywhere. Ship like a local.” and the product it describes takes over everything past your Shopify checkout. That is cross-border shipping, not demand planning.

What we cannot tell you is when it stopped. Mayple names no date, the Shopify listing names no date, and we are not going to reverse-engineer one from review timestamps and print it as a fact. If you find a date quoted somewhere, check where it came from before repeating it.

Worth noticing how quiet this was next to the last closure in this category. Stocky closed on 31 August 2026 with a Shopify Help Center page, a delisting date and a stated read-only export window. Cogsy got one sentence.

Why is Cogsy still on the Shopify App Store?

Because nobody pulled the listing. 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. Every link on it back to the vendor's own site lands on the discontinuation notice.

We have not tried to install it and we are not going to tell you what happens if you do. The point is narrower and it is worth carrying into every other tool you look at. A live App Store listing is not evidence that a product is running. The vendor's own domain settles it in ten seconds.

What was Cogsy, and what were you using it for?

From Cogsy's own pricing page, read on 30 August 2026 while the site was still up: one plan called All in one at $199/month, billed monthly with no 12-month contract, and a 14-day free trial. The header also said “Plans Start At $49/Month”, but only the $199 plan was detailed. That page cannot be re-read by anyone now, so treat those figures as a record of what we saw rather than a live price.

Listed as included: demand planning, advanced demand planning, growth planning, multi-location support, subscriptions, replenishment alerts, purchase orders, backorders, a marketing events calendar, and new product planning. No SKU, user or order limits were stated. Integrations named on the page included Shopify, Amazon, ShipBob, Google Analytics, Smartrr, Anvyl, Flexe, Fulfil, Linnworks, ShipHero and Extensive Order Manager.

It is a long list and hardly anyone used all of it, which is the good news. You only have to replace the part you actually opened it for.

Which part of Cogsy are you actually replacing?

Work down this table and stop at the row that describes why you logged in. Most stores stop at one or two.

What you used Cogsy for	Where that job goes now	The honest note
Purchase orders, receiving, transfers	Shopify's built-in tools, included in your plan	Record-keeping only. Nothing in there suggests a quantity
Demand planning and reorder quantities	A forecasting tool. Prediko, Inventory Planner and Restocio all do this	The part Shopify does not replace, and what most people were really paying for
Replenishment alerts	Any of the three above	Shopify carries no minimum or maximum stock level per variant, so there is nothing native to trigger on
Amazon alongside Shopify	Not us. Inventory Planner published multi-channel integrations when we read its site on 30 August 2026	Restocio connects to one Shopify store and nothing else
Subscriptions and backorders	Not us, and not Shopify's built-in tools	Start with the app that already runs your subscriptions. Its own reporting may cover more than you expect
Marketing events calendar	Nothing on this list	Campaign-led planning is a different category of product. We do not do it and will not pretend to
Deciding sea, rail or air on an order	Restocio	Cogsy's pricing page never described freight modes, so you were probably doing this in a spreadsheet anyway

What Restocio does, and what it costs

We publish our prices in full: $149/month for up to 500 products, $299/month for unlimited. Every paid plan includes everything, so the freight optimizer is not held back for the top tier, and the 14-day trial takes no card.

What we are built around is the part of importing that starts after you already know the quantity:

Sea, rail and air on one order. We size a bridge quantity to cover the gap until the sea shipment lands, so premium freight is paid on a fraction of the order instead of all of it.
Order deadlines as a countdown, not stock levels. With a 90-day lead time the level still looks healthy long after the cheap ordering window closed. The long version is in our guide to replenishment on Shopify.
Production time inside the lead time. For made-to-order goods this is routinely 30 to 45 days and appears on no freight quote.
Landed cost per unit, per freight mode. Supplier price plus that unit's share of freight, which is the only figure that gives you a real margin on air-freighted stock. Duty is not inside it yet, and every report that uses the number says so on the page rather than quietly rounding it out.

	Restocio	Cogsy, as published 30 August 2026
Status	Live	Discontinued, checked 10 September 2026
Entry price	$149/mo	$199/mo for “All in one”. The header mentioned plans from $49
Pricing meter	Catalog size	Not stated
Channels	Shopify only	Shopify, Amazon and others listed
Sea, rail and air split on one order	Yes	Not described on its pricing page
Marketing calendar, subscriptions, backorders	No	All three listed

To be exact about that freight row, it says not described on its pricing page, not they could not do it. We never tested Cogsy, a pricing page is only a summary, and now that the site is down nobody can settle it either way.

Should you pick Restocio?

Only in one shape of business, and the honest list of reasons not to is longer than the reasons to.

Go somewhere else if:

You sold on more than Shopify. Cogsy's published integration list was broader than ours. We connect to one Shopify store, which puts multi-channel and multi-location planning out of reach.
You ran subscriptions or took backorders. Both were on Cogsy's list and neither is something we do.
Your planning was campaign-led. If the marketing events calendar was why you logged in, nothing we build replaces it.
You do not import. If goods arrive in days from a domestic supplier, our entire freight advantage is worth nothing to you and you should weigh the rest on its own merits.
You need an API or bills of materials. We have neither. Prediko's pricing page published both when we read it.

The case for us is narrow. You import from Asia, freight is a real line in your P&L, your lead times include production time, and you would rather see a published price than book a sales call.

Can you still get your data out of Cogsy?

Nobody has published an answer, so we are not going to invent one. Mayple's notice says nothing about data, exports, account access or a read-only window, and carries no support address. That is the opposite of how the Stocky closure was handled, where Shopify published a transition page stating that read-only export access continues for at least 90 days.

Practically, then: if you still have a working Cogsy login, export today rather than at the weekend. 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 tell you what is left, and we would rather say that plainly than guess on your behalf.

A shut export door is expensive but not fatal. Your Shopify store still holds every order you have ever shipped, which is enough to rebuild a demand forecast anywhere. What it does not hold is your supplier list, your lead times or what you paid per unit, and those three are the ones you will be retyping.

What to do this week

Pick the row in the table above that matches why you opened Cogsy, then shortlist against that row and ignore the rest of everybody's feature lists. Whatever you choose, check your lead times against your last five deliveries instead of copying the number you had. Most stores are carrying a lead time somebody guessed once, and a migration is the natural moment to fix it.

On our side, setup is a free guided call of about 45 minutes where we connect your store and enter your real suppliers and lead times with you, rather than leaving you alone with empty fields. You can also self-serve on the trial with no card. One caveat we would normally give you here has expired: the standard advice is to run both tools in parallel for one ordering cycle before cancelling, and that is no longer available to anyone leaving Cogsy. The substitute is to check the first three recommendations against what you would have bought yourself, before you place the order.

Common questions

Is Cogsy still available?

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

When did Cogsy shut down?

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

Why can I still find Cogsy 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 App Store listing is not evidence that a product is running.

How much did Cogsy cost?

Its pricing page listed one plan, All in one, at $199 per month, billed monthly with no 12-month contract and a 14-day free trial. We read that on 30 August 2026, while the site was still up. The header also mentioned plans from $49 per month that were never detailed anywhere on the page. Nobody can check it now, so treat the figure as a record rather than a live price.

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, which is very different from the Stocky closure where Shopify published a 90-day read-only window. 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.

Does Restocio work with Amazon?

No. Restocio connects to Shopify only. If you were running Cogsy for Amazon alongside Shopify, we are not your replacement. Inventory Planner published multi-channel integrations when we read its site on 30 August 2026.

How long does it take to move to Restocio?

The guided setup call is about 45 minutes and covers connecting your store plus entering your real suppliers and lead times. Budget longer than the call itself if you are also verifying lead times against your actual delivery history rather than copying over whatever number you had before.
