Category by category
A retail execution platform, and a cannabis field app.
Repsly and Rishi Lite solve overlapping problems for different buyers. Here is the honest split, row by row — including the rows where Repsly wins.
| Category | Repsly | Rishi Lite |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Quote-based and per user, per month. No public price list — third-party listings put the entry point near $89 per user/month, so the number moves every time you add a rep. | $99/mo flat, up to 10 agents, published on /pricing. Add your tenth agent and the invoice does not change. |
| Trial / evaluation | No self-serve free trial. Evaluation runs through the sales process — a demo, then a proof of concept scoped with their team. | 14-day free trial, self-serve. No credit card, no sales gate, no scoping call before you can see the product. |
| Onboarding | Guided implementation. Setup is a project with their team, not a DIY afternoon. | No training session required. Open it, add agents, schedule the first door the same day. |
| Cannabis depth | Built for CPG and retail services — grocery, beverage, convenience. Cannabis is one vertical served by a general retail execution model. | Cannabis-native. Dispensary activation, scheduling by door, proof of work tagged by SKU, budtender education as the core objective. |
| Proof of work | Real-time in-store capture — photos, forms, activity logs, GPS on visits. Genuinely solid at shelf-level audit across a large retail footprint. | GPS-verified check-in and time-stamped, door-tagged photos on the agent’s phone — scoped to the dispensary door and the SKU that moved. |
| Analytics | A real strength. Automated dashboards on promotion execution, sales results, and team activity, with customizable Insights Dashboards on their higher plans. If deep retail analytics is your buying criterion, Repsly is good at it. | Deliberately narrower. The reporting answers who went where, what they proved, and what it cost — not a configurable BI layer. |
| Renewal | Annual contracts negotiated with sales, with discounts for paying annually. Renewal is another negotiation. | Flat $99/mo, no auto-renewal escalator. Cancel any time. The data is yours. |
| Best fit | Large CPG and retail service organizations running dozens of reps across mainstream retail, with budget for implementation and analytics. | Cannabis and hemp brand teams running up to 10 agents who need proof of work in dispensaries this month, not next quarter. |
The proof
Built from a real cannabis field operation.
Rishi Lite runs the same stack that produced15,000+ in-store demosand1.6M field observationsfor 100+ cannabis and hemp brands. The scheduling model, the proof-of-work photo, and the compliance fields exist because a dispensary program needed them — not because a CPG template was adapted to fit.

The verdict
Per-seat quotes punish the team that is growing.
Repsly’s economics are built for organizations that budget field software a year at a time. Cannabis brand teams rarely can — headcount moves with the market, and every added rep re-opens the quote. Rishi Lite prices the team, not the seat:$99/mo flatfor up to 10 agents, witheverything in the productincluded.

FAQ
Repsly vs. Rishi Lite, answered.
Is Repsly better than Rishi Lite for cannabis brands?
It depends on scale. Repsly is a mature retail execution platform with strong analytics, built for CPG and retail service teams across mainstream retail. If you run a large field org and analytics depth is the deciding factor, it earns the look. If you are a cannabis or hemp brand with a handful of agents who need dispensary-native scheduling and proof of work without a per-seat quote, Rishi Lite is the closer fit.
What does Repsly cost compared to Rishi Lite?
Repsly does not publish a price list — it quotes per user, per month, and third-party listings put the entry point near $89 per user/month. Rishi Lite is $99/mo flat for up to 10 agents, published on the pricing page. At two agents the math is close; at ten it is not.
Can I migrate from Repsly to Rishi Lite?
Yes. Export your account list and visit history from Repsly, then set up your doors and agents in Rishi Lite during the 14-day trial. Most teams run both for two weeks and cut over at the end of a billing cycle.
Does Rishi Lite have a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, no credit card. Repsly does not offer a self-serve trial; evaluation goes through their sales process.
