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

## The short answer

Pick StockIQ for forecasting and stock planning software connected to your business system [15]. Pick Antevon for a fixed-fee, two-week forecasting project [3].

## Who each one fits

Pick StockIQ if you manufacture or distribute beauty or wellness products [16]. Its implementation needs people with planning and technical knowledge [19].

Pick Antevon if your beauty brand sells through retailers and nobody owns the forecast full-time [3, 5]. We work with brands in the UK and EU [4].

## When StockIQ is the better choice

- Choose StockIQ when you need to track batches and forecast stock expiry [22].
- Choose it when you need launch forecasts based on similar products and how each sales channel grows [16].

## When Antevon is the better choice

- Choose Antevon when you need buy, move, hold and cut recommendations that show their effect on cash [3].
- Choose the audit when you need to compare running a retailer promotion with not running it, in pounds [6].

## How they differ

Your team supplies system access and data and joins StockIQ's implementation reviews [24]. Yurii Blazhevych, who runs Antevon's forecasts, takes your call [5].

StockIQ supports weekly and monthly forecasts at the same time [21]. Our forecast gives a number for each product, retailer and month [5]. We hand over two Excel files to keep [5].

StockIQ's standard implementation includes a nightly data refresh from one supported business system [24]. Our audit uses your sales export, retailer reports and an hour for questions [5].

StockIQ's standard setup includes 20 training hours and five weeks of support after you start using it [24]. StockIQ publishes general support hours in Mountain Standard Time [26].
