The short version

  • Only Sortly has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Sortly mobile app performance is slow with occasional crashes on both iOS and Android; NetSuite netSuite implementation and consultancy is listed on UK G-Cloud 14 at day rates ranging roughly £175 to £1,850 per unit per day across multiple suppliers, a public-sector contracted rate for the services layer rather than the core Oracle NetSuite licence itself, which remains quote-only.
  • They diverge on capability: Sortly covers Photo-based inventory, NetSuite covers Financial management.
