Free plan

Sortly Free allows 100 unique items and one user. Quantities don't count toward the limit, so ten identical chairs are one item. That can cover a small home, or a list kept by category. HomeHero has no item cap, which matters if you want a separate record, with its own photos and receipt, for each thing you own.

Accounts and privacy

Sortly is a cloud service. You sign up first, and your inventory lives in your Sortly account, with offline access in its mobile apps. HomeHero starts without an account, and your inventory stays on your device until you choose Sync.

Pricing

Sortly's paid plans are aimed at businesses, and its pricing page has the current amounts and introductory offers. HomeHero Sync is $2 a month, and Premium, which adds AI, is $5 a month.

Where Sortly is better

Sortly has a native iOS app today, barcode and QR label scanning, multi-user teams, and integrations aimed at businesses. If you run a stockroom or need a team to edit one inventory together, Sortly fits better.

Which to pick

Choose HomeHero if an account-free inventory that lives on your own device is your priority. For business stock, labels and barcodes, or a team editing together, look at Sortly.
