Comparison
OrderPiQR vs Picqer — which order picking software fits your store?
Picqer is an established Dutch warehouse platform for online stores. OrderPiQR is deliberately much smaller: just the picking step, on the phone your staff already carry, starting at zero euro per month. Here is an honest look at when each one makes sense.
Two different kinds of software
Picqer and OrderPiQR often appear in the same search, but they are not competitors in the same category. Picqer is a full inventory and warehouse suite: software built to carry your entire e-commerce logistics operation, with broad integrations into webshop platforms and carriers. If you need all of that, you get a lot in return.
OrderPiQR takes one link out of that chain and keeps it as simple as possible: collecting the order in the warehouse. Your orders land in a live queue, an employee claims one, walks the locations and scans each product with their phone camera. Grab the wrong item and they see it immediately — before the box is taped shut.
That difference in scope explains almost everything else: the price gap, the time to go live and how much you must configure before anything works. A suite asks for a setup project. A picking app asks for an account and a product list.
Our honest position: if you are an online store growing into a fully staffed logistics operation, a platform like Picqer is a serious investment that can pay for itself. If you are a small or mid-sized store whose real problem is picking errors and paper lists, a suite is usually overkill — and OrderPiQR is exactly enough.

When is Picqer the better choice?
We would rather sell you nothing than the wrong thing. In these situations a full platform beats OrderPiQR:
You want one system for everything
Purchasing, stock valuation, returns, shipping labels and accounting in a single package. OrderPiQR is not an all-in-one suite and does not aim to be.
You run high volume with many processes
Thousands of orders per week, several warehouses or complex inbound logistics call for software designed around exactly that.
You need broad carrier integrations
If labels, shipments and return flows must be fully automated inside one platform, a complete suite is the right answer.
When is OrderPiQR the better choice?
Your problem is picking, not admin
Wrong items, skipped order lines and returns caused by picking mistakes. Scan verification fixes that — a bigger system does not.
You want to start today
Create an account, import products, start picking. No quote, no implementation project and no consultant at the table.
You do not want to buy hardware
OrderPiQR runs in the browser on any phone with a camera. Your team uses the device already in their pocket.
Your volume fluctuates
Pay per order. Quiet months cost little, peak months scale up without renegotiating anything.
You work with temporary staff
Seasonal workers pick it up in minutes. The screen tells them which product to grab and where it sits.
A full WMS feels like overkill
Paying hundreds per month for features you never open? Start small and move up later if you genuinely outgrow it.
Frequently asked questions about OrderPiQR and Picqer
Picqer is an established Dutch inventory and warehouse platform for online stores, with broad integrations into webshop systems and carriers. OrderPiQR deliberately does less: it focuses on the picking step itself — orders in a live queue, scan verification on every product and real-time progress. That is why OrderPiQR is usable within a day and why you only pay for the orders you process.
For small and mid-sized online stores, almost always. OrderPiQR has a free plan with 50 orders per month and paid plans from €19 per month; Picqer publishes subscriptions from roughly €150 per month. Compare using your own volume and the features you genuinely use, and keep in mind that published vendor pricing can change. See our pricing page for every tier.
It depends on what you use today. If your main need is error-free picking with scan verification, a shared queue for your staff and visibility into who picked what, OrderPiQR takes that process over completely. If your entire operation runs on purchase orders, returns handling, shipping labels and accounting links inside one suite, OrderPiQR does not replace that — read our broader comparison OrderPiQR vs WMS.
No. OrderPiQR runs in the browser on any phone or tablet with a camera. You do not have to buy handheld terminals and there is nothing to install on your staff's devices. If you prefer a bluetooth scanner you can use one, but it is never required.
Usually the same day. You create a free account, import your products with their barcodes and locations, and your team opens the picking screen in a browser. There is no implementation project, no consultant and no credit card required — see how it works.
