Pricing · the Ladder of People

Pick a room for your crew.
The shelves are endless in all of them.

Every feature, in every room, including the free one. Items are never metered, in any room, ever — the only thing that changes is how many people share the keys.

✓  Free forever includes the offline phone app and full CSV export

Solo? You never need to pay us — Shelf is €0 forever. And a paid room cannot surprise you: your bill is one flat number for the whole crew, whatever happens on the shelves.

The Founding 100. The first 100 organisations lock €5 off their room, forever — Stockroom €15, Warehouse €39. Counted publicly, right here. This is our social proof: we don’t have testimonials yet, we have a promise and a counter.

The whole comparison table

One row differs; one column never does. Write-capable API keys count as crew — robots pay like people. Read-only keys are viewers, free.

That’s the end of the differences — one row. Everything below is in every room.
Offline phone app counts and scans with no signal, syncs later
Every feature. Every room. One checkmark.
This column is the pledge: nothing on this list ever moves out of it. Offline access and full export are never premium — on any tier, ever.
Full export, always CSV, one click, no tier check
QR & barcode labels Avery sheets and Brother rolls, printed from the app
Scanning on any phone camera scan to find or count — QR, EAN, Code128
The Logbook every movement and who has what, forever
Quantity + unique items boxes of screws and the one projector
Counts & walks freeze a sheet, walk the shelves, settle the numbers
Low-stock & date alerts minimums, expiry and warranty — with plain-words nudges
Weekly digest email what moved and what’s low — one calm email
Photos & custom fields your columns, your pictures
Share links read-only views for anyone, no account
Roles & permissions who can move stock, who can only look

How per-feature pricing usually works

Typical inventory tools — no judgement, just a different structure:
Barcode scanning unlocks on the mid tier
Custom fields & roles counted and capped per tier
API / integrations top tier only
Offline mode often paid
Per-item caps your register, resold as tiers

How the Ladder of People works

One gate, in plain sight — crew size. Nothing else is ever behind a door:
Every tool in every room including €0
Items unmetered, everywhere the register can grow 100× and the bill doesn’t move
Offline + export never premium structurally impossible to gate
Viewers & read-only API keys free accountants, wall screens, scripts that read
People who write, per room the only dial — 1 / 5 / unlimited (write API keys count)

Your spreadsheet today

stock_2026_FINAL_v3(2).xlsx — you know the one.
  • One person “owns the file”; everyone else texts them changes
  • Nobody knows who took the second label printer home
  • The count is right on the day you count, wrong by Friday
  • No photos, no labels, no history — just cells
  • On the shop floor it lives on a clipboard first, retyped later
It’s free, and it mostly works. That’s the bar we have to beat — at the same price.

The Shelf — €0, forever

The same job, done properly, for one pair of writing hands.
  • Unlimited items, one writer — a real solo operation fits, not a demo
  • Phone app works in the basement with no signal; syncs later
  • Scan a label, adjust the count, the Logbook remembers who and when
  • Low-stock nudges and the weekly digest, included
  • Your data walks out as CSV any day you like — it’s your stock
When you outgrow it, you’ll know — it’s the day someone else needs to write, and the room upgrade is one flat number, not a spreadsheet of seats.

The uncomfortable questions, answered directly

What happens when the room is full?

Nothing breaks. All five writers keep writing, items keep flowing, exports keep working. A sixth person needs either a free viewer seat — ten seconds — or the Warehouse (€49/mo, unlimited crew). We offer the free option first.

What if I stop paying?

Your room becomes a Shelf. Everything you built stays — every item, photo and Logbook entry — readable by everyone, with one writer. Full CSV export works before, during and after. Cancelling is a button, not a phone call.

Where is my data?

In the EU — stored and processed in the European Union — and in your pocket: full CSV export on every plan, any day, including the free one.

Who are you?

I’m Alex. I run a small business, and ItemTally is the register I use for my own stock. No investors, no exit plan — a tool like this has to outlive trends, so it’s built to stay. The pledge is signed with my name because I’m the one accountable to it. You can reach me at support@itemtally.com.

This page is under pledge.

Items are never metered · Your price never rises on you · Your data is never hostage. Three promises, dated 11 July 2026, signed by the founder.
