# Nano Inventory vs Inventory Management

The clearest difference is price: Inventory Management at Free against Nano Inventory's $2.99. Inventory Management also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Nano Inventory's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (66% vs 53%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Inventory Management is free to download; Nano Inventory costs $2.99 up front. Inventory Management sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Nano Inventory asks for nothing beyond the download.

Inventory Management holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Management has 652 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Nano Inventory's written reviews are positive against 53% of Inventory Management's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nano Inventory ships an update every 3 months, Inventory Management every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
