Why some stores pick dbStock
Censored demand, corrected. dbStock adds back the sales you lost while out of stock, so the forecast — and the reorder quantity — isn't dragged down by days you had nothing to sell.
The dollars, front and center. Reorder now or lose $X; $Y trapped in dead stock; $Z already lost to stockouts. The decision is money, not units.

Where Forstock is the better pick
Forstock is a capable, affordable forecaster with solid supplier features — if its workflow fits how you already work, it's a fair pick. dbStock leans harder on the stockout correction and the money framing.
Questions
What makes dbStock's forecast different?
The censored-demand correction: when a product sells out, recorded sales fall to zero even though customers still wanted it. dbStock reconstructs that demand so reorder quantities aren't quietly under-sized.
Are both flat-priced?
dbStock is $49/month flat, forever, every feature included. Check Forstock's current listing for its latest tiers.
