Frequently asked questions about pricing
Is QuickStok really free?
Yes — free forever for one café location, no credit card, no time limit. You get 250 inventory items, 25 recipes, 3 staff PINs, 15 AI receipt scans a month and 3 Hopper messages a day. Price-change tracking, order alerts and the Hopper briefing are all free.
What happens when I hit the free limits?
Nothing is deleted. You keep everything; you just can't add past a cap — beyond 250 items or 25 recipes — until you remove something or upgrade. The 15 monthly receipt scans reset each month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The free plan never asks for a card. You only add payment details if you choose to go Pro.
Can I cancel Pro anytime?
Yes. Cancel any time, keep Pro until the period you paid for ends, then drop back to Free with your data intact.
What does Pro add?
It removes every cap — unlimited scans, items, recipes, PINs and Hopper — and adds batch upload, PDF order-sheet export, delivery confirmation, extra locations at $9/mo, and priority support. $19/month or $159/year.
How does it compare to MarketMan?
MarketMan's plans start around $199 (Starter) and $249 (Growth) per month, verified 27 Jul 2026. QuickStok is $0 for one café and $19/month for Pro. MarketMan is stronger for multi-unit groups and accounting integrations; QuickStok is built for independent cafés with a free tier.
