Arka Inventory vs Unleashed: 12-Month Cost Check

Unleashed's Core plan is $399 a month. Core includes 3 users and 100 sales orders a month. Warehouse management, production and every block of sales orders above 100 a month are priced on top. Pro at $729 includes those modules and 5 users, so the real choice inside Unleashed is Core with add-ons or Pro.

One reviewer in New Zealand paying about $800 a month complained of "still no phone support" (Shopify App Store, 7 July 2026); Unleashed includes phone support in its $99 and $239 monthly support plans (Unleashed pricing). Buyers in India add two questions of their own: which accounting package the software connects to, and whether support answers during Indian working hours.

Prices below come from each vendor's own pricing page as of October 2026. Unleashed invoices in NZD, AUD, USD or GBP, and both vendors quote their prices in US dollars.

• With five users, Pro is cheaper than Core once you need both warehouse management and production ($799 against $825 a month at 300 sales orders). With three or four users, Core plus both modules ($617 or $686 before order bands) is cheaper than Pro ($729).

On Unleashed Pro, the same five-user business costs about $799 a month on monthly billing. On annual billing it costs $8,859 over 12 months. The business has five users, around 300 sales orders a month, warehouse management and production. The same needs on Core cost $825 a month, so Pro is the cheaper Unleashed route at this size (our model, Unleashed pricing as of October 2026).

Unleashed's published rates, used in the model:

• Plans: Core $399 a month ($4,389 annual billing), 3 users. Pro $729 a month ($8,019 annual billing), 5 users. Each includes 100 sales orders a month.
• Extra users: $69 a month on Core, $89 on Pro.
• Sales-order bands above 100: $70 for up to 500, $200 for up to 1,500, $320 for up to 3,000, $490 unlimited, each per month.
• Modules on Core: Warehouse Management & Multi-Bin $149, Production & Manufacturing $69, per month. Both are included free in Pro.

How we worked it out:

• The 12-month Unleashed figures use the annual plan price. Core is $4,389 plus $1,656 for extra users, $1,788 for warehouse management, $828 for production and $840 for the order band. Pro is $8,019 plus $840.
• Add-ons and the order band are counted at their monthly rate for 12 months, because the pricing page lists no annual rate for them.
• Arka Advance includes 2 users and extra users are $52 a month. The Arka figure covers what Advance includes: multiple warehouses, purchase orders and transfers, barcoding and packing slips, alerts, bills of material, production and kitting. Sales orders, lot and serial tracking, landed cost and bin tracking are on Enterprise, priced on request, so the Arka and Unleashed totals are not a like-for-like total for a business with 300 sales orders a month.

Not included in either column: onboarding, support plans, extra connectors, tax, and Salesforce licences your users already hold. Unleashed states that its prices exclude applicable taxes; confirm GST treatment with each vendor before budgeting in rupees.

Run the model on your last Unleashed invoice, then book a demo or ask for an Enterprise quote.

Fill in one column per vendor from your last invoice and each vendor's pricing page, then compare the 12-month totals. Pass: your Unleashed total is within 5% of your real annual invoice. Fail: a line is missing, usually modules, an order band or connectors. Unleashed connectors beyond those included cost $39 a month each, so add $39 × number × 12 to the Unleashed column. If you do not already hold Salesforce licences for your users, add your Salesforce licence cost for each user to the Arka Inventory column.

If you also need sales orders, lot and serial tracking or landed cost, ask us for an Enterprise quote and use that figure in the last column. Weighing another vendor too? See Cin7 cost in India and what inventory management software costs in India.
