Sortly: Inventory Simplified

Update 1/9/26: I found another app for guns and ammo but still use this for tools. Again, it says I have maxed out entries but only have 95 (not 100). Cheated out of 5. 4/1/25: This app was great, until it wasn't. I have inventoried all of my guns and was part way through my tools when I got a warning that I have reached 100 entries and would have to upgrade. The cheapest upgrade is $24/month. Not cheap for a homeowner that just wants to have record of things. Now I have to find something else.

I purchased this app as a home user for my extensive collections and belongings, such as books, toys, barbies, liquor, glass, china, etc... This app is very easy to use. As of Jan 2019, pictures still disappear and you cannot enter a book by scan or isbn (and yes, we know pro does, but I dont have a business). As an individual wanting to be more organized, I would give this app 4 stars if the pics didn't constantly disappear and it would be 5 stars if books could be entered by ISBN or scan.

Meh. Sortly Plus is better than most (and there aint too many options out there that actually works or is easy to work with or has flexibility in recording/sorting any information desired (Sortly fails on this point)). One thing to keep in mind, this is just an inventory app and as such excells, but as a collection database record, it sucks. go look elsewhere. I like that its cross-platform compatible (even tho the PC is only via web browser and doesnt have a dedicated app). HOWEVER, I collect guitars and Sortly Plus cannot record anything more than the most basic info (a name and a serial number, is pretty much it, aside from ONE pic/record). Cannot record any other info such as where/whom/when I bought it from, amount paid, color, setup info, any notes (<- note plural, i usually have more than one notes related to each item), web links to any resources/info, cannot attach files, etc. Methinks I may cancel subscription before trial ends... I know that Sortly Pro supposedly does that BUT at $25US/month, that is WAY too much out of pocket for a private individual to justify. I dont mind paying for functionality, but not that much.

This was a fantastic app for packing up for my last move--nothing else comes close. After days of searching I can't find anything that even begins to do what I want. Unfortunately, they've now switched entirely to focusing on business use, and the prices are too high for anything else. I would happily pay $39.99 once to own this app (and that's a huge price for an app), but that rate per month is simply not workable for home use. This is a very disappointing decision.

Sortly is the perfect solution for me. I'm using the subscription (~$5) version of the app to organize a major move. I have temporary accommodation for the next 5 months before moving to another continent, I have things in storage, things for sale, things ready to be shipped - a lot to keep track of. With Sortly I know exactly what is in each box, and what I intend to do with each item. Couldn't be happier.

I'm sorry, but paying $5 a month just to have an inventory of items I own is freaking ridiculous. I was hoping to have am app I could keep track of items that arent books or movies so I know what I have before buying. It works well for free, but I have more than 100 items to sort in my life and the fact o have to manually input each one because the scanner is only available for the paid version makes me never want to use it. If it was one, SINGLE payment. Sure. Not yearly/monthly, though.

I got the free version to try initially & loved it...easy to use, nice look, & allowed me to organize things well. After about a month photos & icons started disappearing. It wasn't because the photos synced to the cloud & were no longer on my device -when I moved them back they still wouldn't reset. I reached out to Sortly support, but they weren't helpful. The only way to get photos back seems to be to retake them. No thanks...I wouldn't pay for this. Without photos I have no use for this app.

i am a collector and wanted to be able to sort my collection, however I have more than 100 items, and the upgrade price is HUGE! $40-$100 a MONTH! It sucks because the platform and app was perfect for what I needed it for, and now I can't use it and I wasted all that time entering for nothing. I see that they are trying to move on from personal inventory to being a business platform, but it sucks that they are ignoring the needs of their original consumers by getting rid of the home option.

Really loved the app i have tried for a really long time and i mean by long over a year to find an app and sortly was finally the answer there's a couple thing that bugged me. First of all there is no tutorial so there is no way of knowing what you're doing unless you do some tests yourself and even if you find a "better way" sometimes you can't repair the way you want unless you delete and start over. And the issue I'm suffering the most is that I can't adjust the items order in the list.

I LOVE THIS APP. I used it to categorize and keep track of individual boxes when I was moving to a new house. I'll use it again and again every time I move. You can take pictures of the inside of each box AND put tags in each one. So I can literally type in "DVDs" and it will tell me exactly which boxes (I made labels and codes out of colored tape) have the DVDs in them, or the crock pot, or whatever. It's so amazing!!

Enjoyed using app past few months. Started with free version. It is easy to understand and use. When I got serious about creating folders and photographing items I immediately realized I wanted more options and was willing to pay for them. Unfortunately Sortly has decided to go with big business at $50+/mo minimum. I am an at home cookier. This is out of my price range. Glad I found this out now b4 maxing out my allotted 100 entries. For this reason I rate it a 3 bc my business doesn't matter.

I absolutely love this app! I don't own a business, however I do have an extensive collections of hobby items, such as cookie cutters, cake pans, chocolate molds, pantographs for quilting, etc, and this app makes my collections much more organized & accessible. I know where each item is stored & what it looks like. I love that I can have up to 8 pictures per item, that I can search all folders by item name or by tag, such as "Thanksgiving". It makes planning for holidays so much easier! Love it

For the first 4 days this app worked very well. I subscribed to the paid version and had family members help me input all the items in the container and shed. Tgen 2 days later while trying to adjust inventory up and down we noticed that items were being dropped from the or lending information was not being recorded. Then to top it off we now realize that the app has stopped syncing between devices. I tried the online help, and then reached out to the app creators....still no help provided.

I started with app in 2018. I was very happy with this product all these years. Then they sent me a email that my cost was going up 357%! Almost $1,100 more per year! When I reached out to customer service, I received a generic response and no consideration for being a long-standing customer. I had to downgrade my services, and I'm still paying more. I understand that costs have gone up, but this price increase is ridiculous. I'll be looking into alternatives.

Wishful thinking. I've been watching reviews of this app on YouTube and was really exited to use for organizing my crafts. In the middle of adding folders and getting excited about it, I decided to read more recent reviews. Seems like the home version (all the reviews I had watched) is no longer avl and the app has moved to a consumer version at much higher prices. Even with the current discount $25 a month, its just too much for me. Guess going back to excel or paper. Really too bad.

I've been using this app for my balloon business for the past 7 months and I love it. I've not had any issues outside of loading time after major data input. It saves me a ton of time and labor on weekly & monthly ordering. The beat part for me is I don't have to be at my shop to see if I have an item in stock. It does take time to setup & get all of your items input but once that's done it's a breeze to update your inventory.

Really happy with app but disappointed with pricing. The interface is great but $40 a month as your next price point from the free trial version is going to exclude a lot of customers who'd pay maybe $5 a month just to have more entries available. Was excited to use this but going to have to switch to a different app given the pricing.

I trained our student government to use this app in the school store and while we haven't implemented it fully yet, it has been useful so far to keep track of inventory. Unfortunately, because they don't have a cheaper options to use, the scanner will have to find some other way to use it. Besides the most convenient way. It'd be great if they had some sort of sortly for education option as I think schools and students might use this app if it was more affordable

I've only been using the app for a few days, but would like to see a dedicated way to inventory. Would also like to see the ability to add more information on labels and the ability to have that information on smaller labels. More granular reporting would be nice as well. The ability to print labels out of the app/website, and a dark mode.

Love the app. I'm not a business but I'm a collector. I would have preferred if I will be able to do a 1 time purchase for additional entries past the free 100. I only need about a 1000 entries at the moment but the monthly subscription plan is too steep for me and 2000 entries is overkill for my kind of usage.
