Stokpax vs AutoSoftWay
An honest Stokpax vs AutoSoftWay comparison: AutoSoftWay is a full auto/marine repair shop platform with parts tracking as one of 26+ features, and no pricing published on its site.
AutoSoftWay is a cloud-based shop management platform for auto (and marine) repair shops: estimates, work orders, digital vehicle inspections, CARFAX reporting, labor guides, appointment scheduling and a mobile app, with "Parts & Inventory" listed as one of its 26+ built-in features ("keep track of your auto parts inventory and price per unit"). It does not publish plan prices — the site offers a free 30-day trial and a demo request instead of a rate card. Stokpax is the other shape of tool: inventory and invoicing are the whole product, with barcode stocktakes, warehouse transfers and customer/supplier accounts on one flat plan whose price is public. Here is a straight comparison, including where AutoSoftWay is the better fit.
The honest verdict
If the job is running a repair shop end to end — digital inspections, CARFAX history, labor guides, appointment booking — AutoSoftWay packages that well, with inventory as a supporting feature. But its site gives no price until you request a demo, so you cannot compare the actual cost up front. If the day-to-day is mainly selling parts — counter or wholesale — and you want to see the price before you sign up, Stokpax publishes one flat rate, $29/month with a 7-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
How much does AutoSoftWay cost?
AutoSoftWay does not publish plan prices on its site as of this writing — it offers a free 30-day trial and asks you to request a demo or sign up to learn pricing. Stokpax publishes its price openly: $29/month, one flat plan, with a 7-day free trial.
Does AutoSoftWay have inventory management?
Yes, listed as one of its 26+ built-in features — tracking auto parts inventory and price per unit — alongside estimates, work orders, digital inspections, CARFAX reporting and labor guides. Stokpax is built the other way around: inventory and invoicing (barcode stocktakes, warehouse transfers, customer accounts) are the core product, not one feature among many.
Is AutoSoftWay good for a parts store, not a repair shop?
AutoSoftWay is built around the auto/marine repair shop workflow — inspections, CARFAX, labor guides, appointment scheduling — with parts tracking as a supporting feature. A parts store or wholesaler that mainly sells stock and invoices for it is usually better served by a tool built for that loop, with its price published up front.
