Why sellers pick Fiftify

Getting Started

Self-serve, the way Shopify taught everyone

ShipHero onboards through demos and a guided implementation - reasonable for enterprise scope. Fiftify works like the tools sellers already use: sign up, connect Shopify, draw your layout in the browser and pick the first order the same day.

  • Pricing on the site, full-access trial, nobody calls you
  • Guided by the product - routes and scans replace a training program
  • A human in chat, plus bookable onboarding after sign-up

Hardware

$0 between a new hire and their first pick

Enterprise WMS deployments usually assume dedicated scanning devices. Fiftify assumes the opposite: the scanner is the phone already in your team’s pocket, and the gun you already own still works.

Phones first

Beep-and-vibrate camera scanning on Android and iOS - a new station costs nothing.

Guns still welcome

Any Bluetooth or USB keyboard-wedge scanner - if it types, it scans.

Mixed floors

Rugged guns at benches, phones in aisles, one system underneath.

ShipHeroDedicated scanning hardware per station
Fiftify$0 - the phones your team already carries
Pricing

A monthly price that is the whole price

ShipHero’s WMS is published from about $1,995 a month with five seats included - honest enterprise pricing for enterprise scope. Fiftify starts at $0 for the first 100 orders, then $99, $299 and $799 - unlimited SKUs, channels and warehouses on every tier.

  • Free to start - 100 orders a month, no credit card
  • Generous staff limits per tier, not a seat-license spreadsheet
  • Month to month - leave whenever it stops earning its keep

The Floor

Your warehouse, drawn to scale

Fiftify is built around a visual layout editor included on every plan: zones, rows, racks and bins with real dimensions, labels printed from the same map, pick routes that walk the building the way it actually walks.

Bin-level truth

Every quantity points at a shelf someone can walk to.

Labels from the map

16 media sizes, Code 128 or QR by shape, arrows included.

Routes that fit

One pass down the aisle - drawn from your floor, not a template.

Who each one is for

Fiftify fits you if
  • You ship roughly 100 to 10,000 orders a month and run your own floor
  • You want to sign up, draw your layout and pick the same day
  • Your scanners should be the phones your team already carries
  • You want public pricing and a monthly commitment
ShipHero may fit better if
  • You run enterprise volumes across large facilities or operate as a 3PL
  • You want an outsourced-fulfillment option from the same vendor
  • You have an ops team ready for a managed implementation
  • Per-label economics at very high volume drive your decision

Products, variants and open orders import from Shopify on connect.

2

Your real racks and bins, to scale - print the labels the same day.

3

Phones in pockets, routes on screens - most teams ship day one.

Reading before you switch

Fiftify vs ShipHero FAQ

Is Fiftify a ShipHero alternative?

For self-fulfilling sellers in the 100-10,000 orders per month range - yes: Fiftify covers orders, picking, packing, shipping and bin-level inventory without enterprise pricing or a sales cycle. For 3PLs and enterprise-volume brands, ShipHero’s scope is the better match.

What is the main difference between Fiftify and ShipHero?

The audience and the price band. ShipHero is an enterprise WMS - published from about $1,995 a month, five seats included, with managed implementation and an outsourced-fulfillment arm. Fiftify is self-serve: free plan, paid tiers from $99 a month, phone-camera scanning and a layout editor on every plan.

Does Fiftify offer outsourced fulfillment?

No - Fiftify is software for teams that run their own warehouse. If you want to hand fulfillment to a 3PL, that is a different product category, and ShipHero plays there.

Do I need to buy scanners to switch to Fiftify?

No - camera scanning is built into the worker app, and any Bluetooth or USB keyboard-wedge gun you already own works without configuration.

Can Fiftify run multiple warehouses?

Yes - every plan includes unlimited warehouses, each with its own layout and team roles, while channels see one combined stock number.

What does switching actually involve?

Connect Shopify (products, variants and open orders import automatically), draw your layout, print bin labels and pick the first order - most teams do it inside a day.

Can I try Fiftify before committing?

Yes - a free plan plus a 7-day full-access trial with no credit card. Run real orders through it before deciding anything.
