Simple Capture
vs Sortly
Sortly is built for keeping stock: every item is a record you add, label and count. Simple Capture starts from the other end. You film the shelf or the room and the items are listed for you, along with a story, the text it read and a page you can share.
At a glance
| Question | Sortly | Simple Capture |
|---|---|---|
| Getting things in | Add items one by one: photo, name, quantity, custom fields. Scan barcodes or print QR labels. | Film a video, record a voice memo or snap photos. Items, text and your spoken notes come out of it. |
| What comes back | A structured item database with folders, quantities, low-stock alerts and reports. | A story of the walk, scenes, an inventory by room, the text it read, and a page you can share. |
| Sharing | Team members and permissions on paid plans; exports. | Ask for a page and share a private link. Whoever opens it can ask the page questions. |
| Asking questions | Search and filters over what you entered. | Hold the red button and talk. The assistant knows every capture and answers out loud. |
Where Sortly is stronger
- Barcode and QR scanning, label printing and quantity counts.
- Low-stock alerts and reorder workflows for a business.
- Multi-user teams with roles, and structured exports.
Where Simple Capture is different
- One video lists the items in a whole room. No typing.
- Your spoken notes, labels and receipts land next to each item.
- It makes things from the capture: a report page, a sale listing, a summary you can listen to.
- Ask "what's in the garage?" out loud and get an answer.
Which to pick
Pick Sortly if you run stock for a business and need counts, barcodes and a team.
Pick Simple Capture if you want a record of what's in a home, a unit or a storage space without entering it item by item.
