Published pricing
Three monthly tiers based on catalog and operating complexity. Onboarding is included, and there is no separate software or usage fee. Every plan begins with a three-month initial term and continues month to month after that.
Tier 1
Stable catalog, up to 10 active SKUs, few new-model introductions
- Onboarding + initial inventory baseline included
- Monthly planning cycle
- Async brief every cycle - no standing call; quarterly check-in
- 1 hour/mo of included support; $150/hr beyond, pre-approved
Tier 2
Seasonal demand curves, or 11-50 active SKUs with quarterly introductions
- Onboarding + initial inventory baseline included
- Biweekly planning cycle
- Async brief every cycle; 30-minute monthly call
- 2 hours/mo of included support; $150/hr beyond, pre-approved
Tier 3
51-250 active SKUs, size-color matrices, frequent model introductions, promotion-heavy calendars
- Onboarding + initial inventory baseline included
- Weekly planning cycle
- Async brief every cycle; monthly inventory planning review
- 3 hours/mo of included support; $150/hr beyond, pre-approved
Onboarding included · 3-month initial term · Month to month after
The numbers, in plain sentences
Tier 1 is $1,497 per month for stable catalogs of 10 or fewer active SKUs, with a monthly planning cycle. Tier 2 is $2,297 per month for 11-50 active SKUs or meaningful seasonal complexity, with a biweekly cycle. Tier 3 is $3,297 per month for 51-250 active SKUs or higher operating complexity, with a weekly cycle. Onboarding is included, and every plan begins with a 3-month initial term, then continues month to month.
Every tier delivers
- Onboarding and the initial inventory baseline, included
- A demand plan rebuilt on your tier's cadence from the latest account data
- Seasonal demand curves modeled automatically and reviewed by your planner
- Launch and new-model forecasting - the discipline we've run on Amazon for 18 years
- Replenishment quantity recommendations, then FBA shipment files after your approval
- An async operating brief - what changed, what we did, what needs your decision
- Fee and inventory-risk review on every planning cycle: low-inventory-level fee, placement fees, aged inventory surcharge, storage overage
- A named planner accountable for maintaining the plan
Included support hours (1, 2, or 3 per month by tier; $150/hr beyond, approved before billing) cover separately scoped operational work outside the recurring planning cycle - for example, extensive launch setup, Seller Central shipment issues, or one-off working sessions with your team. Forecasting and replenishment recommendations for launches are included in the plan; extensive first-time launch setup or custom scenario work may use these hours.
Which tier are you?
Your highest-complexity driver generally determines the tier.
| Driver | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active SKUs | 10 or fewer | 11–50 | 51–250 |
| Seasonality | Flat demand | Real seasonal curves | Seasonal + promo-heavy |
| New-model intros | Rare | Quarterly | Monthly, or size-color matrices |
| Marketplaces | 1 | 1–2 | Multi-marketplace |
- 10 or fewer active SKUs
- Flat demand
- Rare introductions
- One marketplace
- 11–50 active SKUs
- Real seasonal curves
- Quarterly introductions
- One to two marketplaces
- 51–250 active SKUs
- Seasonal or promotion-heavy demand
- Frequent or matrix-based introductions
- Multiple marketplaces
Active SKUs means sellable replenishment items with meaningful inventory or sales activity during the planning period. Use the rubric to estimate your tier - we confirm it before kickoff, and any change applies to future billing only.
Onboarding is the first operating cycle
There is no separate diagnostic project. Month one establishes the baseline, confirms your tier and planning assumptions, and produces the first forecast, replenishment recommendation, and shipment files - plus an initial exposure snapshot of the material fee, stockout, and excess-inventory patterns visible in your data.
What the price covers
Pricing is per brand (one Seller Central account). Marketplace count is a tier driver, not a separate charge. Amazon's final shipment placement options and fees are determined at submission; StockCadence prepares the quantities and files, and your team or 3PL submits and executes unless TESMO prep & ship is engaged.
StockCadence owns
- Maintains the forecast and rebuilds it every cycle
- Reviews exceptions and adjusts assumptions
- Produces the replenishment quantity recommendations
- Builds the FBA shipment plans and delivers ready-to-submit files once quantities are approved
- Flags stockout, excess, and fee risk before it gets expensive
- Sends the async operating brief and keeps the cadence moving
Your team owns
- Provides promotion, launch, and supply information
- Confirms lead times and inventory availability
- Reviews and approves the recommended quantities
- Places supplier purchase orders
- Executes shipments with your current 3PL or warehouse - or TESMO prep & ship
Add-ons - inventory operations only
Demand planning and FBA replenishment are the core service. These are optional.
Account Health Watch
Account-health issues are easy to miss and expensive to discover late. Critical alerts are reviewed each business day, with a structured engine-driven weekly sweep, a prioritized fix list, and standard fixes within a 2-hour monthly allowance.
- In the sweep: IPI
- In the sweep: Stranded inventory
- In the sweep: Suppressed listings
- In the sweep: Pricing errors
- In the sweep: Policy flags
Scoped and approved before billing, never silent: suspension appeals, IP disputes, escalated case management.
FBA prep & ship
Our parent company TESMO's own facility in Paramount, Los Angeles. Standalone agreements available - you don't need a plan to use the facility.
Planning and prep under one operating team.
Ads, content, and creative never join this menu. When you need full channel management, that's TESMO.
What Amazon inventory management costs in 2026
Typical market ranges; actual quotes vary by scope. The real question isn't the price - it's who catches the problem before Amazon's 30-40 day pipeline makes it permanent.
| Alternative | Typical price | The tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated offshore inventory hire | from ~$1,600/mo | entry-level rate - needs training and Amazon-experienced oversight, or problems surface only once they're expensive |
| Software plus analyst tier | ~$2,000/mo | stacked on a usage-based software fee; analysts are multichannel generalists - Amazon's fee mechanics and lead times are on you |
| Fractional supply-chain planner | $1,900-3,900/mo | limited advisory hours, not an operating cadence |
| Full-service Amazon agency | $3,500-7,500/mo | inventory as one line inside a broader retainer |
| In-house demand planner | $75K-130K/yr base | plus recruiting, a ~30% benefits load, and single-person risk |

StockCadence is designed for the gap between software and full-service channel management. The scope is intentionally narrow: forecasting, replenishment, shipment files, exceptions, and a recurring operating brief. Standardized intake and an asynchronous cadence make it possible to provide Amazon-specific planning ownership at a published monthly price - the result is agency-grade Amazon judgment at an entry-level price.
Market ranges are based on publicly available pricing and salary data reviewed in July 2026; actual quotes vary by scope and geography.
We're not the right fit if...
- More than about $5M in Amazon revenue
- More than about 250 active SKUs
- Vendor Central or hybrid (1P) channel complexity
- A planning error would be a board-level event
That's not a rejection - it's a routing. Enterprise catalogs and season-commitment planning are handled by our parent, TESMO.
The fine print, out loud
Is there an assessment or setup fee?
No. Onboarding and the initial inventory baseline are included in every plan.
Is the monthly price really flat?
Yes - a flat monthly planning fee with no software charge or usage fee underneath. The only metered item is operational work outside the recurring planning scope, beyond your tier's included hours, at $150 per hour - always approved before we meter anything.
Is there a contract?
3-month initial term, then month to month. We recommend the likely tier before kickoff and confirm it during onboarding. If a higher tier is required, we honor your starting price through the initial three-month term and confirm the new rate before month-to-month renewal. If the account fits a lower tier, the lower rate begins with the next billing period.
What's the scoping call?
Twenty to thirty minutes to confirm your tier against the rubric - catalog size, seasonality, intro cadence, marketplaces. It's a scoping call, not a sales call; the price is already on this page.
What exactly is priced - per brand, per account, per marketplace?
Pricing is per brand (one Seller Central account). Marketplace count is a tier driver, not a separate charge.
Do you handle seasonal products?
Yes - seasonal forecasting is handled automatically for seasonal items at every tier. Seasonality affects which tier fits (it drives how often we replan), not whether it's covered.
Can you plan new product launches and new-model introductions?
Yes. We've done demand planning for new accounts, launches, and new-model introductions on Amazon for 18 years, and we handle the planning for those items inside your plan. First-time launch planning may draw on your plan's included support hours - sometimes including a working session with your team - always approved before it's billed.
Do we need to switch tools?
No. We're tool-agnostic and run on top of whatever you have - or on plain Seller Central reports if you have nothing.
How does data refresh every cycle?
We work from the latest account data each cycle. Depending on your setup, that may come from your existing planning platform, scheduled Seller Central reports, or a secure report handoff - we agree on the lowest-friction workflow during onboarding. No software migration required.
What happens if the tier changes?
We recommend the likely tier before kickoff and confirm it during onboarding. If a higher tier is required, we honor your starting price through the initial three-month term and confirm the new rate before month-to-month renewal. If the account fits a lower tier, the lower rate begins with the next billing period.
Who executes the shipments?
We produce the quantity recommendations; once you approve and confirm availability, we build the FBA shipment plans and deliver ready-to-submit files. Your team or your current 3PL executes them - unless you use TESMO prep & ship.
Do you place supplier purchase orders?
No - supplier POs stay with your team. We tell you what to order and when; you own the supplier relationship.
Why do you publish pricing when nobody else does?
Because the buying process shouldn't require a discovery call to learn a number. Published pricing keeps us honest about scope and keeps your evaluation short.
