The Best Alternatives to ConsignPro and SimpleConsign in 2025
If you’re a consignment or resale store owner, chances are you’ve come across ConsignPro or SimpleConsign. For years, these platforms were widely used to manage resale operations. But in 2023, ConsignPro announced a merger into SimpleConsign, forcing many stores onto a new subscription model. Since then, thousands of shop owners have started searching for better alternatives.
At Circular, we talk to resellers every day who are frustrated by this transition. Many are looking for a modern, reliable, and affordable solution built for today’s resale economy.
Why Stores Are Moving On from ConsignPro and SimpleConsign
Here are some of the most common reasons we hear from shop owners:
- Forced transition & higher costs Many ConsignPro customers preferred the one-time license model. Moving to SimpleConsign means ongoing monthly fees and migration headaches.
- Technical instability Users report crashes, networking issues, and limitations with hardware (like tag printers).
- Mixed customer support Reviews are polarized. Some praise support, but many cite unhelpful or condescending experiences.
- Outdated interface & limited integrations The systems feel dated, especially when trying to scale across multiple stores or connect to modern POS/eCommerce platforms.
