Stokpax vs RO App

An honest Stokpax vs RO App comparison: RO App genuinely bundles invoicing and receivables, but its Hobby plan caps work orders at 100/month and per-employee/per-location fees add up as you grow.

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.
