Storeganise grew up in self-storage and added valet. Stowley starts from the thing you are holding: every box, crate, case, or chair has a photo, a rack location, a condition history, and a billing line. If your business is pickups, deliveries, and items you keep for clients, here is how the two compare.
Why operators look
Storeganise is a capable platform, and for a self-storage facility that also runs a valet service it is often the right one. Its pricing follows that heritage: you pay by the number of locations and the number of units, and the exact figure comes as a quote. For an operator whose inventory is items rather than units, that model fits awkwardly, and the unit-centric parts of the product (move-ins, access control, unit maps) go unused.
The operators who come to us from a Storeganise evaluation usually want four things. Items as the first-class record, with photos and a location for each one. Business and collector clients with their own strictly scoped portal, not a consumer booking flow. Service requests that go beyond collection and drop-off: inbound receiving, pulls, shipping with labels, deliveries with proof, and on-site jobs. And a published flat price they can budget against.
That is what Stowley is. It is not a self-storage management system, it does not run gates, and it will not optimize a driver's route. It is the operating record for an item-based storage and logistics business, with the billing and the client portal built in.

Pricing
Storeganise scales with locations and units. Stowley scales with plan.
Storeganise
From about $90/mo
Sample figure on their pricing calculator. Priced by number of locations and units; exact quote on request. No setup fee. Add-ons and the marketing website may cost extra.
Stowley
$69 to $399/mo
Flat plans. Annual billing from $49, $149, and $349 per month. No setup fees. Enterprise is custom.
Switching
Export customers and items from Storeganise as CSV. Import clients into Stowley first, then inventory; the importer links each item to its client by name, matches column headers loosely, and keeps anything it does not recognize as a custom field so nothing is dropped.
You preview every row before it is written. Open balances come across as starting-balance invoices so the first billing day in Stowley is right. Most valet operators are cut over in an afternoon.
