Extensiv pricing: there is no published number, so here is what builds the one you get

What can honestly be established about the price, and what cannot

We went looking for a rate card on 20 August 2026. There is not one. The product pages on extensiv.com describe the software in detail and route you to a demo request; the obvious pricing URL returns a not-found page. The single exception is the integration product, which offers a free place to start before usage tiers take over.

That is worth stating without any editorial spin attached to it. Warehouse software is configured per customer, and a vendor that refuses to print a figure it cannot honour for everybody is behaving reasonably. Plenty of serious companies in adjacent categories do exactly the same thing. We are one of them, which we will come back to.

What it does mean is that every Extensiv figure you will find on a comparison site, in a listicle or in an AI answer is somebody's reconstruction. Some are averages of old contracts, some are a single customer's invoice generalised into a headline, and some have simply been copied from each other for years. None of them is the vendor's number, and none of them knows your order volume. If you are budgeting, treat all of it as background noise and get the quote.

The useful work, then, is not hunting for a figure. It is understanding the shape of the bill well enough that the quote does not surprise you, and knowing what to ask before the number is on the table rather than after.

Which Extensiv are you being quoted for? There are several under one name

This is the single most common way an Extensiv budget goes wrong, and it happens before anybody discusses money. The brand covers a family of products aimed at genuinely different buyers, and the wrong one will be both expensive and disappointing.

• 3PL Warehouse Manager — a warehouse management system for third-party logistics providers. Its buyer runs a building and bills customers for storage and handling.
• Order Manager, formerly Skubana — multichannel order and inventory operations for brands that sell across marketplaces and their own storefront. Its buyer owns the goods.
• Integration Manager, formerly CartRover — the connective tissue between carts, marketplaces and warehouse systems.
• Alongside those sit Billing Manager, network management for multi-node operations, a scanning product, a small parcel suite, reporting and an AI layer.

A brand owner who books a demo without specifying which product they want frequently ends up scoped for warehouse software they will never log into. A 3PL that buys the brand-side product finds it cannot bill its customers. The names changed after acquisition and the older names still carry most of the search traffic, so it is easy to arrive at the wrong page from Google — the review corpus tells the same story, with the brand-side product still filed on Capterra under its former Skubana identity, rated 4.7 across 114 reviews when we read it on 20 August 2026.

Before the call, write down one sentence: whether you are storing your own goods or somebody else's. That sentence decides which quote you should be asking for.

The five variables that build the quote

Across warehouse and multichannel operations software generally, the same handful of levers set the price, and the vendor will need answers on all of them before producing a figure. Getting your own numbers straight first shortens the process and stops you being scoped against a guess.

• Volume. Orders, shipments or lines per month, depending on the product. Take your peak month, not your average — you will be billed against the peak whether or not you budgeted for it.
• Nodes and users. Warehouses, facilities or fulfilment locations, plus named logins. Multi-node operations move the number substantially.
• Modules. Billing, scanning, parcel, analytics and the AI layer are separate decisions. The demo will show you all of them working together; the quote may not include all of them.
• Integrations. Standard connectors behave differently from a custom endpoint into an ERP or a legacy carrier.
• Implementation. A one-off onboarding and configuration charge is normal in this category and is frequently the largest single line in year one. It is also the line most often left out of an internal budget.

Four questions are worth asking in the first call, and they apply to any vendor here including us. What is the implementation charge, stated separately from the subscription? Which volume band am I in, and what happens the month I exceed it — an overage, or an automatic tier move? What is the renewal uplift, in writing? And if the company changes hands, what happens to my price and how do I get my data out?

That last one is not paranoia. Ownership in this category moves constantly — the brand-side product here arrived through acquisition, as did the integration product — and change-of-control, price-protection and data-portability clauses are ordinary commercial diligence. Ask us the same thing.

Anchor the quote against something that is published

You cannot negotiate against a blank. What you can do is arrive with a published rate card from a comparable product so the conversation has a reference point.

Cin7 prints one. Read on 20 August 2026, Cin7 Core lists three plans in US dollars, billed monthly: Standard at $349 a month for 6,000 orders a year, Pro at $599 a month for 24,000, and Advanced at $1,199 a month for 120,000. Its enterprise product, Omni, is quoted on a call like Extensiv's. Those bands are annual order volume, not monthly, which catches people out in both directions.

That is not a like-for-like substitution — a 3PL billing product and a brand-side inventory system solve different problems, and a genuine warehouse operation may need capabilities Cin7 Core does not carry. But it does tell you roughly what a mid-market multichannel inventory system costs when a vendor is willing to print the number, which is exactly the context a quote-only conversation lacks.

One habit worth building on any vendor, us included: check which billing tab you are reading before you write a figure down. Monthly and annual pricing sit behind a toggle on most of these pages, and reading the wrong tab is the most common source of wrong numbers in software comparisons — including in articles written by people who are trying hard to be accurate.

What none of this touches: the Amazon-side economics

Here is the boundary, stated flatly, because it decides whether any of this is the right purchase. Extensiv is warehouse and order operations software. It moves goods, records where they are, and bills for the handling. Dr. Stock is not that. We do not fulfil orders, we do not run buildings, we are not a system of record and we are not an ERP. Anyone telling you these are alternatives is comparing a forklift with an accountant.

What matters is that the money Amazon takes out of your P&L is largely untouched by either category. Consider what a warehouse system cannot see:

• Size-tier misclassification. Amazon bills fulfilment against the dimensions and weight it has recorded, not the ones on your spec sheet. When the recorded figure is wrong, you overpay on every single unit shipped until somebody requests a remeasure and follows the case through. Your WMS holds the correct dimensions and has no mechanism to make Amazon agree with them.
• The 181-day threshold. Amazon's own FBA page states that the aged-inventory surcharge applies to items held in a fulfilment centre for more than 181 days, charged monthly and stacked on top of ordinary storage. That is a calendar problem with a cash answer — remove, liquidate, discount or accept — and it has to be decided before the snapshot, not explained after it.
• Claim windows. Inbound shipments that reconcile short, units lost or damaged in the network, removals that never arrived — each has a filing window counted in days rather than quarters. A discrepancy your warehouse system correctly flagged is worth nothing once the window has closed.
• Cash trapped in dead SKUs. Stock that has stopped moving is your money, sitting in a building, accruing charges. No inventory system will make the decision to release it.

These are not exotic edge cases. For most brands past a few thousand units a month they are larger than the software subscription being debated, and they recur every month whether or not anybody is looking at them.

What we charge, and what we will not pretend about it

Dr. Stock is the work, not the ledger. It is Fable 5 pointed at Amazon inventory and supply chain — reorder timing and stockout risk, storage and aged-inventory exposure, the remove-or-liquidate call, fee errors and dimension disputes, inbound discrepancies, reimbursement recovery and the true landed cost of returns by SKU — with human operators supervising at an autonomy level you set. Purchasing decisions come to a person every time, whatever setting you choose.

Those operators come from Full Circle, a full-service Amazon management company with $500M+ in managed revenue across 100+ brands. On a young domain that lineage is the credential, and we would rather point at it than at adjectives.

And here is the part we are not going to dress up: we publish no price for Dr. Stock either. It is a demo, the first 30 days free, and a figure agreed on the call against your catalogue and how much of the queue you want us holding. On transparency specifically, a vendor with a public rate card is ahead of us, and it would be dishonest to criticise quote-only pricing in one paragraph and practise it in the next.

What does come with it at no extra cost is Orbit — inventory, finance and ASIN-level profitability, plus the fee, price, BSR and buy box trackers. That is the piece that sits in the same aisle as the software on this page.

Two honest redirects. If you genuinely need a warehouse management system because you are running a building, buy one; we do not sell that and will not pretend otherwise. And if the margin you are chasing turns out to be leaking through the ad account rather than the warehouse, Dr. PPC is the product for that repair, not this one.
