What it really costs
Cin7 Core, over five years.
Cin7 Core publishes its prices, which is welcome, and they are large. Standard is US$349 a month, Pro is US$599, Advanced is US$1,199. That is the cost before a single order goes through the system.
Three meters run at once: users, sale order volume and how many integrations you are allowed. Growth trips whichever one you were not watching, and each plan step is roughly a doubling rather than an increment.
Their published price
Cin7 Core, as Cin7 Core prints it.
The other meters
Source: www.cin7.com/pricing/, read 17 August 2026. Published in US dollars, so the Australian cost moves with the exchange rate. GST excluded, so add ten per cent to compare against a GST-inclusive price.
The sum
Multiply it out. That is the whole trick.
Do it on your own number
Set the dial to what you actually pay Cin7 Core, including the meters most people forget: SMS, card processing, the extra seats, the add-ons.
Honestly
What Cin7 Core is good at, and where it stops fitting.
Genuinely good
- Deep inventory. Multi-warehouse, landed costs and the accounting integrations are real work we would not casually rebuild
- The order ceilings are generous enough that most Australian wholesalers sit comfortably inside a plan
Where it stops
- The entry price is US$349 a month before a single order goes through, which is a serious fixed cost for a small distributor
- Three meters at once: users, order volume and integration count. Growth trips whichever one you were not watching
- Billed in US dollars, excluding tax
If Cin7 Core fits, stay on it. A build is worth doing when the software is fighting the business, or when the meter has grown past what the software is worth to you. Neither of those is true for everyone reading this, and we would rather say so here than on the invoice.
The alternative
What we would build instead.
Inventory is genuinely hard. Multi-warehouse, landed costs, stock adjustments and the accounting integrations represent real work, and anyone who tells you they will rebuild all of that for $9,000 is selling you a rewrite they have not scoped.
The honest split
Most Australian wholesalers do not need all of Cin7. They need reliable stock levels, a sane order flow, and the four or five processes specific to their trade that Cin7 has no shape for: consignment, contract pricing per customer, freight allocation, sample tracking, whatever it is in your business that currently lives in a spreadsheet.
Where the whole system is worth building it is a Complex project rather than a Basic one, and we would say so before quoting. Where it is not, we build the layer around your existing inventory system and leave the hard part alone. See wholesale and distribution.
The number
Standard at US$349 a month is US$20,940 over five years. Pro is US$35,940. Advanced is US$71,940. Those are the figures worth putting next to a one-off build before you renew.
Common questions
Cin7 Core, answered plainly.
How much does Cin7 Core cost?
Cin7 Core publishes three plans: Standard at US$349 a month for five users, 6,000 sale orders a year and two integrations; Pro at US$599 for ten users, 24,000 orders and four integrations; and Advanced at US$1,199 for fifteen users, 120,000 orders and six integrations. Cin7 Omni is quote only. All prices exclude tax and are in US dollars, read from cin7.com/pricing on 17 August 2026.
What does Cin7 cost over five years?
At today's published price held flat, Standard is US$20,940, Pro is US$35,940 and Advanced is US$71,940 over sixty months, before extra users and before any price rise. Those figures also exclude tax and move with the exchange rate.
Should we replace Cin7 with a custom build?
Rarely all of it. Inventory management is genuinely hard and Cin7 does it well. What is usually worth building is the layer around it: the trade-specific processes Cin7 has no shape for, which are the ones currently living in spreadsheets. That is a much smaller project with a much better return.
What are the hidden costs in Cin7 pricing?
The plan ceilings rather than fees. Users, annual order volume and integration count are three separate limits, and passing any one of them moves you to a plan that costs roughly double. Extra users can be purchased on every plan, so headcount growth has a price too.
Is there an Australian dollar price for Cin7?
Not on the published pricing page, which lists US dollars excluding tax. For an Australian wholesaler that means the software bill moves with the exchange rate on top of any price rise.
