Quick answer: Unleashed sells two plans. Core is $399 a month, and Pro is $729 a month, quoted in USD and excluding tax. The pricing page opens on the Monthly toggle, so those figures are genuine recurring rates rather than prepaid ones. Annual billing is advertised as “save up to 10%” and delivers 8.33%, which is exactly one free month. The sticker is rarely the bill: users, order volume, connectors, API bundles, and support are each metered separately, and a six-person distributor on Core realistically pays around $983 a month.

Two plans, and a pricing page that plays fair

Most inventory vendors hide the number behind a form. Unleashed prints it. Better still, the page arrives on Monthly rather than Annually, so the first figure you see is the rate you would actually pay month to month.

That sounds like a small thing. It is not. Plenty of vendors preselect annual billing and show a prepaid rate in large type, which makes the product look cheaper than its recurring price. Unleashed does the opposite, and the honest default is worth crediting before we start picking at the add-on sheet.

Both plans come with a 14-day free trial and no card wall in front of it. Neither plan is a per-seat product in the way a CRM is. You buy a bundle of licences and then top up.

The annual discount is one free month, not ten percent

Flip the toggle and the cards swap to annual totals. Core becomes $4,389, and Pro becomes $8,019, each with an “equivalent monthly amount” printed underneath.

Annual billing restates the price as a yearly total with an equivalent monthly figure of $366 and $668.

Divide and the structure falls out immediately. $4,389 divided by $399 is 11.0. $8,019 divided by $729 is also 11.0. Unleashed is not applying a percentage at all. It is charging eleven months and giving you the twelfth.

Against twelve months at the monthly rate, Core saves $399 a year, and Pro saves $729. Both work out at 8.33%. The toggle label promises “Save up to 10%”, so the advertised figure overshoots the real one by about a fifth. Nobody is being defrauded here, but if you are building a budget from the marketing copy rather than the arithmetic, you will be short.

One free month is still a reasonable deal for a system you cannot easily leave. Inventory platforms sit underneath purchasing and warehousing, and the general ledger all at once, and a mid-year migration is painful enough that most buyers commit anyway.

What the base plan actually covers

The comparison table below the cards is where the real shape of the product appears. Four allowances move between Core and Pro, and one does not move at all.

  • User licences. Three on Core, five on Pro.
  • Sales orders. One hundred a month on both plans. This allowance does not improve when you upgrade.
  • Included integrations. Three on Core, five on Pro.
  • API calls. 250,000 a month on Core, 500,000 on Pro.
  • File storage. 10GB on both.

Read that list again and notice the trap. Sales orders are the single metric most closely tied to how big your business is, and paying $330 a month more does nothing for it. A company shipping 900 orders a month buys the same upgrade whether it sits on Core or Pro.

Where the bill grows

Unleashed publishes its add-on rates openly, which again is better behaviour than most of this category. Here is the full meter.

Fifteen separate lines. Metered pricing is not a flaw by itself, because it lets a three-person operation buy a serious inventory system for $399. It does mean the quote you build in your head after ten seconds on the pricing page will be wrong.

Seats and connectors are always cheaper on Core

Here is a result that catches people out. If your reason for considering Pro is that you need more users, the maths never works.

Core costs $399 plus $69 for every licence past three. Pro costs $729 plus $89 for every licence past five. Pro starts $330 ahead and then charges $20 more per seat, so the gap widens with every person you add rather than closing. At eight users, Core comes to $744 and Pro to $996. At twelve users, Core is $1,020, and Pro is $1,352.

Connectors behave the same way. Both plans charge $39 for each integration past the allowance, and Pro only includes two more to begin with. Run eight connectors and Core costs $594 against Pro at $846. Our breakdown of what the $39 connector fee really buys goes through that side of the ledger properly.

API calls land in the same place. A Core subscription plus one $159 bundle gives you 500,000 calls for $558. Pro gives you the same 500,000 for $729. Buying the bundle is $171 a month cheaper.

Modules are the only honest reason to buy Pro

Four modules that cost money on Core are bundled into Pro at no charge: Advanced Inventory Manager at $149, Warehouse Management and Multi-Bin at $149, Access Analytics at $69, and Production and Manufacturing at $69.

Each module card states its price and whether it is free on Pro. Advanced Inventory Manager is listed as free on Pro and optional on Core.

Those four together are worth $436 a month, comfortably more than the $330 plan gap. So Pro wins if you need all of them. The interesting question is where the line actually sits.

  • One module, say Advanced Inventory Manager: Core costs $548 against Pro at $729. Core wins by $181 a month.
  • Two modules, meaning AIM plus Warehouse Management: Core costs $697 against Pro at $729. Core still wins, by $32.
  • Three modules, adding Access Analytics: Core costs $766 against Pro at $729. Pro wins by $37.

You need three of the four before the upgrade pays for itself, and the third one is cheap analytics rather than anything operational. Anyone buying Pro for two modules is overpaying by about $384 a year.

The other modules stay chargeable on both plans. B2B eCommerce Store is $129, Sales Growth is $119, Marketing Accelerator is $262, and CRM is $450. That last figure is larger than the Core subscription itself, which tells you Unleashed does not really expect to be your CRM.

A realistic monthly bill

Take a six-person wholesaler shipping around 600 orders a month, running five connectors, on paid Standard support. Nothing exotic.

  • Unleashed Core: $399
  • Three extra user licences at $69: $207
  • Sales order tier to 1,500, because 600 exceeds the 500 band: $200
  • Two extra integrations at $39: $78
  • Standard support: $99

Total: $983 a month, or $11,796 a year, before onboarding and before tax. The $399 headline accounts for 41% of it.

Push that company to 1,600 orders, and the order tier jumps from $200 to $320, adding $1,440 a year for a 1% increase in volume at the wrong moment. Band pricing always has cliffs. Find out where yours are before you sign, because the jump from 1,500 to 3,000 orders costs more than two extra employees.

Onboarding and support are separate decisions

Implementation runs $449, $799 or $5,549 as a one-off. The spread between the cheapest and dearest option is more than a full year of the Core subscription, which signals that Unleashed expects complex migrations to need real services work. Businesses moving off spreadsheets usually manage with self-service. Businesses moving off an existing ERP with years of stock history should budget for the full tier and treat anything less as optimism.

Support is a monthly line at $99 or $239. Build it into the comparison rather than treating it as an extra, because an inventory system that halts picking when it misbehaves is not somewhere to economise.

Which plan fits

  • Choose Core if: you need up to about twelve users, fewer than three of the Pro-bundled modules, and any number of connectors. Seats and integrations are cheaper here at every quantity.
  • Choose Pro if: you need at least three of Advanced Inventory Manager, Warehouse Management and Multi-Bin, Access Analytics, and Production. Multi-bin warehousing plus demand forecasting is the combination that justifies it.
  • Choose annual billing if: you are confident past the twelve-month mark. One free month is the whole offer, so there is no reason to prepay while you are still evaluating.
  • Look elsewhere if: your order volume is high and your user count is low. Paying $490 a month for unlimited orders on top of $399 means the order meter, not the software, is setting your price.

For the wider inventory market, our Increff, Unicommerce and Zoho Inventory comparison covers three systems built on different pricing logic. If your decision is partly an accounting one, the QuickBooks review is the other half of the stack.

A second example, where Pro genuinely wins

Flip the profile around. Picture a nine-person contract manufacturer running a multi-bin warehouse, doing its own production runs, forecasting demand, shipping roughly 1,200 orders a month and running six connectors.

On Core that business pays $399 for the plan, $414 for six extra licences, $200 for the 1,500 order band, $117 for three extra connectors, $436 for the four modules it needs, and $99 for support. The bill reaches $1,665.

On Pro the same business pays $729 for the plan, $356 for four extra licences, the same $200 order band, $39 for one extra connector, nothing for modules, and $99 for support. The bill lands at $1,423.

Pro comes out $242 a month ahead, or $2,904 a year. Notice what did the work. Licences and connectors still favoured Core by $136 between them. Every bit of the advantage came from the bundled modules, and then some. If you remember one rule from this page, make it that one: Unleashed plans are sold on modules, and everything else on the sheet pulls the other way.

Watch the order meter, not the plan price

Volume pricing comes in four bands, and the cost per order inside each one swings wildly depending on where you sit.

At the top of the 500 band, you are paying $70 for 500 orders, which is 14 cents each. Ship one more and you move to the $200 tier, where 501 orders cost 40 cents each. Fill that band to 1,500, and you are back down to 13 cents. Cross it and 1,501 orders cost 21 cents each.

The pattern repeats all the way up. Sitting just past a boundary is roughly three times worse per order than sitting just below the next one. Seasonal businesses feel this hardest, because a single strong December can push a whole year onto a higher band.

Ask Unleashed how the band is assessed before you commit. A ceiling measured on your peak month behaves very differently from one measured on a rolling average, and nothing on the public pricing page settles the question.

Five things to settle before you sign

None of this makes Unleashed expensive for what it does. A system that holds purchasing, stock, production and the accounting handoff together is doing serious work, and $399 entry pricing with published add-on rates beats a quote-only competitor you cannot evaluate without a sales call. Just build the quote yourself first. The number you arrive at will have five or six lines in it, and the plan price will be the smallest surprise on the list.

FAQ

How much does Unleashed cost per month?

Core is $399 a month, and Pro is $729 a month in USD, excluding tax. Those are the month-to-month rates shown by default on the pricing page, not prepaid annual equivalents.

Is the annual discount really 10%?

No. The toggle says “Save up to 10%,” but the annual totals of $4,389 and $8,019 are each exactly eleven times the monthly rate. The true saving is 8.33%, equal to one free month.

Does Pro include more sales orders than Core?

No. Both plans include 100 sales orders a month. Higher volume costs $70, $200, $320 or $490 a month on top, and the price is identical whichever plan you are on.

Is it cheaper to add users on Core or Pro?

Core, at every headcount. Extra licences are $69 on Core against $89 on Pro, and Core starts $330 a month lower. The cost gap grows as you add people rather than closing.

When does upgrading to Pro actually save money?

When you need three or more of the four modules Pro bundles. Two modules leave Core ahead by $32 a month. Three put Pro ahead by $37.

What does onboarding cost?

A one-off $449 for self-service, $799 for standard, or $5,549 for full implementation. Support is billed separately at $99 or $239 a month.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, 14 days on both plans, offered alongside a “Book a chat” route on each pricing card.
