ChannelGrabber retired CG Classic — and reviewers say the replacement dropped Amazon stock management and the listing tools sellers joined for. Salync keeps listing management at the core: central catalogue, real-time sync, purchase orders, from free with no setup fee.
No credit card required · No setup fee · No order overage charges
ChannelGrabber was a popular UK choice for small multichannel sellers. But reviews describe a platform transition that removed features customers relied on, alongside setup fees, order allowances with overage charges, and rising renewal costs.
Listing features dropped
Reviewers report the new platform lacks the listing capability that was CG's main draw. Salync treats multi-channel listing as core: publish and update from one catalogue.
Setup fee + overages
A reported £400–500 setup fee, plus charges when orders exceed your contracted allowance. Salync has neither — unlimited orders on every plan.
Migration forced anyway
CG Classic users had to migrate platforms regardless. If you're re-learning a new system either way, it's the right moment to choose the best one — not just the default.
Everything CG Classic users are missing — with modern sync underneath.

ChannelGrabber announced the retirement of its original platform (CG Classic). Reviewers report that the replacement dropped capabilities sellers relied on — including Amazon stock management and the listing features that were the main reason many joined ChannelGrabber in the first place. Long-time users describe being migrated onto software that does less than what they signed up for.
