Cin7 vs Brightpearl
Both keep stock and orders in sync across channels for growing retailers, but they sit at different points. Cin7 Core publishes its pricing and suits product sellers who want to self-serve; Brightpearl is quote-only and aimed at higher-volume omnichannel retail operations.
Cin7 Core is the more accessible choice — transparent pricing, strong integrations and built-in manufacturing/WMS without add-ons, which is why it’s our inventory pick. Brightpearl earns its keep for higher-volume, multi-location retailers that want a retail-ops platform with built-in accounting and can absorb the implementation. If you can’t get a straight price and don’t need that scale, start with Cin7.
The short version.
On our benchmark Cin7 takes the higher Index Score (82 to 77) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.
Platform coverage is a wash: both integrate with 5 of the 6 platforms we track.
On price, Cin7 starts lower — from $349/mo against Custom — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in what each one includes for the money.
So Cin7 suits smb/mid-market teams; Brightpearl leans toward smb/mid-market.

What you'll actually pay.
- ·Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR) publishes three tiers: Standard $349/mo (5 users, 2 integrations, 6,000 orders/yr), Pro $599/mo, Advanced $999/mo — gated on users, integrations and annual order volume. Cin7 Omni is a separate, custom-priced product for larger omnichannel/B2B operations.
- ·Quote-only
- ·Brightpearl publishes no numbers and routes to 'Request pricing'. Quotes scale with order volume/channel complexity, framed as a shrinking percentage of revenue as you grow. The ~$1,000/mo entry figure is an UNVERIFIED third-party estimate, plus meaningful implementation fees.
