# Inventory Now vs Stock Control

The clearest difference is rating: Inventory Now at 4.7 against Stock Control's 1.0. Inventory Now also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Now sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per month and Stock Control sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Inventory Now holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Now has 694 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Inventory Now's written reviews are positive against 50% of Stock Control's.

Inventory Now ships an update every 5 days, Stock Control every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
