Canonical: https://www.antevon.com/compare/stocktrim

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

## The short answer

Both forecast sales for stock decisions, through StockTrim's subscription software or Antevon's fixed-fee, two-week audit [3, 15]. Pick StockTrim if you have someone to run the planning software [22]. Pick Antevon if nobody owns your forecast full-time [5].

## Who each one fits

StockTrim targets small and medium businesses in manufacturing, wholesale, retail and online selling [12, 16].

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

## When StockTrim is the better choice

- Pick StockTrim if you need to create, approve and download orders to suppliers in the software [26].
- Pick StockTrim's paid parts-list add-on when an operator has the parts data and needs to plan raw-material purchases [25].
- If suppliers set minimum orders, StockTrim can raise suggested quantities to your chosen minimum [29].

## When Antevon is the better choice

- If you need to see what stock decisions mean for cash, Antevon prices buy, move, hold and cut recommendations [3].
- If a retailer proposes a promotion, Antevon's audit compares its financial result with not running it, in pounds [6].

## How they differ

StockTrim users update the settings for supplier delivery times and minimum orders [21]. Antevon's audit includes cleaning imperfect data [5].

StockTrim forecasts monthly sales for each product or product group [16]. Enable StockTrim's Customer Forecasting module to forecast sales for selected wholesale customers [18]. Antevon gives a sales number for each product, retailer and month [5]. You receive two Excel files to keep [5].

StockTrim connects to Shopify and business systems such as Cin7 [34]. For Antevon's audit, bring a sales export, retailer reports and an hour to answer questions [5].

StockTrim sells worldwide and offers self-setup or a personalised setup session [14, 19]. StockTrim's pages do not specify UK support hours. Yurii Blazhevych, who runs Antevon's forecasts, takes your call [5].
