Stokpax vs RO App
An honest Stokpax vs RO App comparison: RO App bundles invoicing and receivables, but its Hobby plan caps work orders at 100/month, with per-location fees.
RO App (also sold as RemOnline) is one of the few competitors that, like Stokpax, bundles real invoicing and customer balances into the same app as inventory — no separate accounting product to pair up. It also has an auto-parts storefront and work-order tooling, so on paper it looks close to Stokpax's scope. The difference is how the price grows: RO App's cheapest plan caps you at 100 work orders/sales a month and 1 location, and every plan above that adds a per-employee and per-location fee on top of the base price. RO App is also a general service-business platform used across electronics repair, other repair trades and retail, not built specifically around parts stores. Here is a straight comparison, including where RO App is the better fit.
The honest verdict
If you're a solo or two-person shop doing under 100 work orders a month out of one location, RO App's Hobby plan is cheap and does the job. But most growing parts stores add staff and a second location before long, and that's where RO App's per-employee and per-location fees start stacking on top of the base plan. Stokpax is a flat $29/month with no seat or location fees and no work-order cap to bump into, built specifically for parts stores and repair shops rather than as a general service-business platform, with a 7-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
Does RO App have invoicing and customer balances?
Yes — unlike tools such as Sortly or Zoho Inventory, RO App bundles customizable invoicing and customer balances/settlements into the same app as inventory. It's a genuine competitor on that specific point.
How does RO App pricing compare to Stokpax?
RO App's Hobby plan starts around €15/month but caps you at 100 work orders/sales a month and 1 location. Its Startup plan (from €29/month) includes 3 employees, then charges €5-9/month per extra employee and €15-50/month per extra location. Stokpax is a flat $29/month with no seat fees, no location fees and no order cap.
What is a RO App alternative without per-employee fees?
Stokpax: inventory, invoicing, customer/supplier accounts and cash in one app for a flat $29/month — no per-employee or per-location add-on fees, and built specifically for parts stores and repair shops rather than as a general multi-industry platform.
