Brick Packer VS Brick Freedom

Canadafirst

So we've been using bricksync to keep our inventory synced between bricklink and brick owl and we have had some strange issues at times, where sometimes it doubles lots on bricklink for some reason. IE: We'll have a lot with 20 of an item for sale on bricklink and suddenly a second lot is created on the current date with the same item, quantity and remarks. We're not sure what causes this and we thought about migrating to either Brick Packer or Brick Freedom so we wanted to know if anyone had had experience with both and could help us see the pros and cons of both different solutions.

Thanks in advance for the responses!

Which features are you looking for?

I don't have experience with them, but I offer a similar solution (hosted or local), maybe I can be a 3rd option?

Howdy, I was using bricksync as well. I didn't have the issues you mentioned but I just hated doing blmaster on/off each time I changed my inventory. I'm currently using InSpaceSync from https://inspacesoftware.com/ I am hosting my own but I believe they have a hosting option as well. Now I can edit my inventory on BO or BL and InSpaceSync recognizes the changes and syncs. Hope this helps!

No experience with Brick Packer but i've been using Brick freedom for a couple of years and love it!

Not had a single issue - also some really good insights/reports.

I wrote an article on the most common syncing tools comparing each of them which may be of help. https://brickarena.com/syncing-your-bricklink-store-with-brick-owl/
