Frequently Asked Questions

How is Forthcast different from Inventory Planner or Prediko?
The biggest difference is pricing. Most forecasting tools charge per SKU — meaning your costs grow as your catalog grows. Forthcast charges a flat $19.99/month regardless of how many products you have. We also offer a 6-month forecast horizon versus the 3-month limit common in other tools.
How accurate are the demand forecasts?
Accuracy depends on your sales history and product type. Forthcast improves over time as it learns your demand patterns. For most products with at least 6 months of sales history, forecasts are within 10-15% of actual demand at the SKU level.
Does it handle seasonality and trends?
Yes. Forthcast's ML models automatically detect seasonal patterns, growth trends, and sales velocity changes. You can also manually flag upcoming promotions or events to adjust forecasts.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
After 14 days you'll be charged $19.99/month through Shopify billing. You can cancel at any time before the trial ends and you won't be charged.
Does Forthcast work with multiple Shopify locations?
Yes. Forthcast supports multi-location Shopify stores and can generate forecasts and reorder recommendations per location.
