Who it is for
BoxHero describes a small-business inventory service. Personal covers one member, 100 item types, one location and 30 days of transaction history. Business expands those limits.
Workflows and scope
BoxHero documents stock in/out, transfers, counts and barcode scanning. Its Business plan lists purchases and sales, multiple locations, label printing, low-stock alerts, reports, return orders, bundles and team permissions. These features are plan-specific.
BoxHero offers web and mobile access. The Google Play listing for version 3.59.6 requires Android 7.0 or later; the US Apple listing requires iOS/iPadOS 15.5 or later. The account guide lists selectable interface languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
Custom Open API access and webhooks are documented for every plan. The documentation does not establish API quotas or named native accounting connectors.
Deployment and pricing
The pricing page observed October 29, 2026 lists Business at $24 per month when billed annually ($288 for a year). The separate pricing guide observed October 28, 2026 lists Business at $30 per month when billed monthly. Both pages show a dollar sign without identifying its ISO currency; rates are per team subscription.
Personal is free. Business add-ons are listed at $5 per member per month, $10 per additional 1,000 item types per month and $10 per additional 10 locations per month. The listed amounts use the same unspecified dollar currency.
Review evidence
The US App Store sample contains three dated BoxHero entries from June 1 to August 28, 2026. The dates and storefront identify the scope of this small sample; they do not establish distinct authors or overall customer sentiment.
Scope and limitations
BoxHero provides inventory tools for small teams, with a free Personal plan and a paid Business plan that adds team and location capacity.

API and integrations — The public Personal Plan lists API and integrations.

API access is stated to be available on any BoxHero plan; third-party services may impose their own terms. Developer instructions remain inaccessible in the bounded direct and managed attempts, so exact authentication mechanics, quotas and connector-specific behavior are unknown. · Webhooks — The overview describes reading/writing items, orders and transactions, inventory adjustments/transfers and change notifications through API/webhooks.

|---|---|
| identity | BoxHero |
| warehouse application | Inventory software for receiving, issuing, moving and counting stock with barcode scanners or a mobile camera, multiple locations and low-stock alerts. |
| capabilities | Stock in and out, Stock transfers, Inventory counting, Barcode scanning, Multi-location inventory, Low-stock alerts |
| platforms | iOS, Android, Desktop, Tablet |
| business size | Small businesses |
| capabilities | Custom item attributes, Stock in and stock out, Barcode scanning, Excel import and export The Personal Plan lists core inventory transactions, attributes, barcode scanning, Excel import/export and web/mobile access. Its transaction history is limited to 30 days. Account, item and location limits still apply. |
| capabilities | Multiple locations, Barcode label printing, Low-stock alerts, Inventory reports, Inventory counts These advanced functions are presented under the Business Plan rather than the free Personal Plan. Business usage includes three members, 1,000 item types and three locations before optional capacity add-ons; these are subscription limits, not physical stock quantities. |
| capabilities | Return orders, Product bundles, Team permissions, Inventory sharing links Business Plan features include returns against the original order, bundles, team permissions and external inventory links. The public listing documents availability, not a security audit, hands-on compatibility test or permission model for every external system. |
| integrations | API and integrations The public Personal Plan lists API and integrations. The integration overview separately documents a custom Open API/webhook route on any BoxHero plan, with API-token setup described in developer documentation. No named native accounting connector, authentication-header format or rate limit is established by the overview. |
| deployment | Cloud-synchronized inventory The public plan describes real-time inventory changes synchronized to the cloud and web/mobile access. This is not evidence of an on-premises deployment option or offline transaction support. |
| platforms | iOS, Android, Desktop, Tablet Vendor documentation describes iOS/Android, phone/tablet access and Windows/Mac desktop offerings. Desktop scanning supports USB/Bluetooth; mobile uses Bluetooth or its camera. Separately cited listing requirements are Android 7.0+ for version 3.59.6 and iOS/iPadOS 15.5+ for the Apple mobile app. The vendor Mac desktop download is distinct from the Apple listing optional Mac compatibility entry. |
| industries | Retail, E-commerce, Fashion, Construction, Food and beverage, Wholesale, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Automotive, Logistics, Beauty, Jewelry, Education, Electronics, Nonprofit These are industries marketed for general inventory use. The list does not establish sector-specific regulatory compliance, clinical functionality, manufacturing execution or guaranteed operational results. |
| business size | Small businesses The vendor positions BoxHero as inventory software for small businesses. Team/item/location subscription limits do not establish employee-count cutoffs or suitability for every warehouse size. |
| languages | More than ten supported languages The homepage states support for more than ten languages. The separately read Profile & settings FAQ now enumerates the supported account-language list and web/mobile change paths; website translations are not the evidence for those UI languages. Screen-by-screen parity and hardware compatibility are not implied. |
| platforms | Windows desktop app, Mac desktop app The vendor public download page explicitly offers desktop apps for Windows and Mac, and mobile apps for Android and iOS. No executable was downloaded or run. This page alone does not establish minimum OS versions, processor support, offline transactions or equality with the web client. |
| capabilities | Barcode item lookup, Barcode stock transactions, Barcode inventory counting The documented mobile workflow uses an in-app phone/tablet camera or a Bluetooth scanner; the mobile app supports Bluetooth scanners only. Desktop/web scanning can use USB or Bluetooth. The vendor lists specific tested models, but setup remains manufacturer/model-specific; this is not an independent hardware test or a guarantee for every scanner. |
| integrations | Custom Open API integrations, Webhooks The overview describes reading/writing items, orders and transactions, inventory adjustments/transfers and change notifications through API/webhooks. API access is stated to be available on any BoxHero plan; third-party services may impose their own terms. Developer instructions remain inaccessible in the bounded direct and managed attempts, so exact authentication mechanics, quotas and connector-specific behavior are unknown. |
| languages | User-selectable interface language Account Settings lets a user choose a preferred interface language, defaulting from the browser. The supported-language FAQ lists languages and gives web/mobile setting paths; a user language setting affects that account rather than changing other team members. This does not prove identical translation coverage on every screen or client version. |
| platforms | Android 7.0 or later The exact vendor-linked Google Play public About panel lists BoxHero Android version 3.59.6, BGPworks, Inc., and Android 7.0 or later. This is published client-version metadata, not a device compatibility test, future-version guarantee, app UI language list or country eligibility claim. Russian storefront text is translated only for this technical requirement. |
| languages | English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional) The product FAQ explicitly lists these supported account/UI languages and gives both web and mobile paths for changing the setting. Portuguese is specified as Brazil and Chinese has Simplified/Traditional variants. The preference affects the individual account, not other team members; this is documented support, not a screen-by-screen translation test. |
| platforms | iPhone: iOS 15.5 or later, iPad: iPadOS 15.5 or later The exact BGPworks Apple listing shows version 3.59.6 and these iPhone/iPad minimums. It also lists iPod touch iOS 15.5+, optional Mac compatibility macOS 12.4+/Apple M1+, and visionOS 1.0+, while the header says not verified for macOS. Those Apple mobile-app compatibility entries are separate from the vendor Mac desktop download, not proof of its minimum OS, native feature parity or a hands-on device test. |
| languages | English, French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese This is the explicit language metadata for the Apple-listed app. Portuguese is not given a regional variant in this listing; the vendor account-language FAQ separately says Portuguese (Brazil). Storefront menus and the US listing URL are not used to infer UI language or global eligibility. |
