An honest comparison

OnHandly vs inFlow.
Field stock, without the order desk.

inFlow is a capable order-management platform: sales orders, invoicing, fulfillment, B2B showrooms, and a separate manufacturing line. If your business sells and ships from inventory, it is a serious option and priced like one.

OnHandly is for teams whose inventory gets consumed doing service work — where the daily questions are what is on the truck, what is short, and what to buy. A van is a location; inFlow's entry plan includes exactly one, and unlimited locations start at $436 a month. OnHandly starts multi-location at $29.99.

inFlow plan names and prices are from inflowinventory.com, checked August 12, 2026, and may change. inFlow's pricing page was unreachable on that date, so the monthly prices and the 20% annual discount come from inFlow's own published cost guide dated July 17, 2026.

CHOOSE ONHANDLY IF

The job is running stock: counting it, moving it, reordering it.

Inventory is consumed by service work, not sold from a warehouse — the job is stock control, not order processing.
Vans, trailers, and stockrooms each need their own live count and minimums from day one.
Blind counts, accountable adjustments, and job reservations matter more than fulfillment workflow.
The budget for inventory software is under $100 a month, not $400.

CHOOSE INFLOW IF

Its strengths are your daily work.

You sell and ship from inventory: quotes, sales orders, invoices, and fulfillment are the daily loop.
You assemble or manufacture product and need bills of materials and work orders.
Customers order from you through a B2B portal or showroom.

Switching questions

Asked before moving.

Still deciding whether it fits? Talk to a person at OnHandly.

We occasionally bill customers for parts. Is OnHandly still the right fit?+

OnHandly records who used which parts, where, and at what cost — the facts an invoice needs — but it does not generate customer invoices. If order-to-invoice is your core loop, inFlow is the honest recommendation. If invoicing lives in your accounting or field-service software, OnHandly handles the stock side cleanly.

Does OnHandly integrate with QuickBooks?+

Not today. Accounting connections are on our public roadmap for the Pro plan, and we do not sell roadmap items as available. Inventory, cost, and movement history export in standard formats you own.

How long does setup take?+

Most teams import their existing spreadsheet through the Migration Center and record real movements the same afternoon. The 30-day trial is sized for a full month of actual work, not a demo dataset.
