Checked against Assisty’s public pages. Prices, features and company facts checked 21 Oct 2026. Content updated 21 Oct 2026.

## The short answer

Pick Assisty for software that forecasts sales and plans stock reorders within Shopify [12]. Pick Antevon for a fixed-fee, two-week project that builds the sales forecast for you [3].

## Who each one fits

Assisty targets merchants managing stock across several Shopify locations [12].

Antevon is for independent beauty and skincare brands in the UK and EU, selling through retailers or preparing to [3, 4].

## When Assisty is the better choice

- If you need to create and email supplier orders, choose Assisty's Replenishment or Enterprise plan [21].
- If supplier minimums shape your buys, Assisty lets you set minimum orders and case quantities [15].
- If supplier delivery times vary, Assisty lets you override store-wide settings for each supplier or product [15].

## When Antevon is the better choice

- If no one owns the forecast full-time, Antevon offers an audit for founders and commercial teams [5].
- If a retailer proposes a promotion, Antevon's audit compares its money impact with not running it [6].

## How they differ

Antevon's audit supplies buy, move, hold and cut recommendations with their money impact [3]. It also puts a date on each recommended buy [7].

You install Assisty from the Shopify App Store [14]. It imports products, orders and stock [27]. Replenishment and Enterprise also update Shopify stock when you receive deliveries [27].

Assisty offers chat, email, phone and WhatsApp support [23]. Antevon's audit includes a working session on day 14 to go through the first decisions [5].
