Plans, limits, and usages
SKU Stock Sync has different plans for stores with different syncing needs. The main differences are included sync usages, extra usage cost, scheduled sync frequency, and how many history runs are available.
Most stores should choose a plan based on how often inventory changes and how quickly they need due groups to be processed.
For more details about timing, see Scheduled syncing.

What is a sync usage?
A sync usage is counted by SKU/location group, not by individual variant.
A SKU/location group is a set of variants that share the same SKU at the same Shopify location.
If one group is synced, that counts as 1 sync usage.
If that group contains 5 variants, it still counts as 1 sync usage.
If 2 different groups are synced, that counts as 2 sync usages.
If the same SKU is stocked at 2 different locations, those are separate SKU/location groups.
Usage is based on groups because SKU Stock Sync works with SKU/location groups when syncing inventory.
For more details, see What are SKU/location groups?.
What scheduled sync frequency means
Your plan affects how often scheduled syncs run.
Starter: scheduled syncs run every 60 minutes
Growing: scheduled syncs run every 30 minutes
Pro: scheduled syncs run every 20 minutes
Scheduled sync frequency does not mean every SKU in your store is synced every 20, 30, or 60 minutes.
Scheduled syncs process groups that are due at the time the sync runs.
For more details, see Scheduled syncing.
What history limits mean
Each plan includes a maximum number of sync history runs that can be available in the app.
Starter: up to 100 history runs
Growing: up to 150 history runs
Pro: up to 250 history runs
History helps you review what SKU Stock Sync processed, what changed, and whether any groups or variants were skipped.
For more details, see Sync history.
How to choose the right plan
Choose a plan based on how often inventory changes and how quickly you want due groups to be processed.
Choose Starter if your store has low order volume, fewer inventory changes, or you are just getting started.
Choose Growing if inventory changes more often and you want scheduled syncs to run more frequently.
Choose Pro if your store has higher inventory activity, more synced SKU groups, or you want the fastest scheduled syncing available.
If your store only receives a small number of orders each month, Starter is usually enough.
If your store has frequent orders, restocks, warehouse updates, or many synced SKU groups, a higher plan may be better value.
Important things to know
Scheduled sync frequency controls how often the app checks due groups, not how often every SKU in your store is force-synced.
Higher plans include more sync usages, lower extra usage cost, faster scheduled syncing, and more history runs.
When to contact support
If you are unsure which plan is right for your store, contact support and include:
How often your store receives orders
How often inventory is restocked or adjusted
How many products or variants share SKUs
Whether other apps or warehouse systems update inventory
How quickly you need inventory changes to be processed
The best plan depends on inventory activity, not just the total number of products in your store.
