Where TOPS Pro still makes sense
TOPS Pro is a mature, deep toolset. If you need full carton and corrugate design, mixed-SKU container loading, and tight ERP/WMS integration in a single package, it covers ground Betsel Stack does not try to. Betsel Stack is deliberately focused: the pallet-pattern and reporting job, done fast and cleanly, without the install or the licensing conversation.
Common questions

Yes. Betsel Stack runs entirely in a modern web browser, so there is nothing to install and it works on a laptop, a shared plant-floor machine, or a tablet. TOPS Pro is a desktop application that has to be installed per seat.
How does Betsel Stack pricing compare to TOPS Pro?
Betsel Stack is $29 per month with the monthly plan, or $279 a year if you pay up front, both listed publicly. TOPS Pro pricing is quote-based — you contact the vendor and typically buy a perpetual license plus annual maintenance.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. Betsel Stack has a 7-day free trial that you start yourself in a couple of minutes — no demo booking or sales call required.
Does it generate reports I can share?
