DEAR Inventory plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $249/month | 3 | Entry tier |
| Professional | $449/month | 3 | +$200/month, 3 more features |
| Enterprise | $849/month | 3 | +$400/month, 3 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Inventory Management
Too few inventory management tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the DEAR Inventory badges page.
Before you pay for DEAR Inventory
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $249/month and $849/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare DEAR Inventory against the tools that do have one before committing.
DEAR Inventory runs on web, mobile app, cloud-based, and is published by DEAR Systems of Sydney, Australia. The full record is on the DEAR Inventory review, and the rest of the category is under best inventory management tools.

- Professional costs $449/month against $249/month, and adds advanced manufacturing, 10 users, priority support.

- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is full features, unlimited users, dedicated support. It costs $849/month against $249/month for Standard. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
