Frequently asked
questions.

Everything about getting started, importing your data, and what happens to it afterward.

01Getting Started

Do I need an account to try it?
No. You can upload your spreadsheet and start managing your inventory immediately — no signup, no credit card. When you're ready to save your data permanently, just claim your inventory with an email address.
What happens to my data if I don't claim it?
Unclaimed guest inventories are kept for 7 days, then automatically deleted. Claiming takes one email and one click — your inventory becomes yours forever.
How does signing in work?
Magic links only — no passwords. Enter your email, click the link we send you, and you're in. The link expires after 15 minutes and can only be used once.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes — SimpleInventory is fully responsive and works great on mobile browsers, with a dedicated mobile layout in the app.

02Data & Import

My spreadsheet is messy. Will it work?
Yes. AI detects what your columns mean even if they are named "Type" or "Qty," flags suspicious quantities and possible duplicates, and lets you review everything before anything is imported.
Which file formats are supported?
.xlsx, .xls, and .csv today. Google Sheets, PDF, and photo imports are on the roadmap.
Does AI ever change my data?
Never silently. AI may suggest a column mapping or a duplicate merge, but flagged items show a review badge and nothing is written until you confirm the import preview.
Can I export my data later?
Always. CSV and XLSX export is available on every plan, including Free. Your data is never locked in.

03Pricing

Is there really a free plan?
Yes — up to 2,000 products, forever, with AI import and export included. See the pricing page for details.
What does Pro include?
Unlimited products, advanced reports, automated alerts, up to 5 users, and barcode scanning — $12/month, cancel anytime.

04Security & Privacy

Where is my data stored?
In encrypted databases in the EU / US regions (depending on where you sign up). All traffic is TLS-encrypted.
Can I delete everything?
Yes. You can export first, then delete your account and all inventory data in one action from Settings. Guest data is deleted automatically after 7 days if unclaimed.
Do you share or sell my data?
No. Your inventory data is only used to provide the service. We don't share it with third parties and we don't sell it — ever.

Still have questions?

The fastest answer is trying it with your own spreadsheet — no account required.
