6Storage and Stitch Storage differ most on price visibility and focus. 6Storage is best for operators who want automation plus bundled web, access control and tenant protection from one vendor. Stitch is best for independent owners with 30 to 300 units who want a flat public price and free 48-hour migration.
We make Stitch Storage, so read this with that in mind. 6Storage facts come from the sources listed on this page, dated as of October 2026. "Not listed" means we did not find it on the pages we reviewed, so ask the vendor.

About 6Storage
6Storage is a cloud self storage platform based in St. Louis, Missouri, founded in 2007 by an owner-operator. Its site says it fits single and multi-location operators of any scale.
Where 6Storage is stronger
- Bundled access control, websites and tenant protection.
- Founded by an owner-operator in 2007.
- More than 20 integrations.
These are real advantages. If one of them is central to how you run your facility, weigh it heavily.
Where Stitch Storage is stronger
- The price is public: Starter $39, Pro $99.
- Pro is flat for unlimited units.
- Lien timelines by state and a free facility website.
- Free migration in 48 hours.
Stitch has limits too. It is built for 1 to 3 facilities, not for large multi-site operators or enterprise custom integrations.
Who each is best for
6Storage: Operators who want automation plus bundled web, access control and tenant protection from one vendor.
Stitch Storage: Independent owners with 30 to 300 units per facility, including unmanned and rural sites. Owners who want one flat public price, online rentals and autopay built in, lien timelines by state, and a free facility website.
Worked cost example
Say you have one facility with 120 units, 100 rented at $95, so rent processed is $9,500 a month.
| Item | Stitch Storage |
|---|---|
| Pro plan | $99.00 |
| 0.3% platform fee on $9,500 | $28.50 |
| Software total, before card and ACH processing fees | $127.50 |
6Storage does not show a full price on its own site, so we cannot put a number beside this one. Ask for a written quote for your unit count, add its card and ACH processing rate, and compare the total against $127.50.
Decision checklist
- Do I need something 6Storage does that is not on Stitch's list (see the stronger-for-6Storage section)?
- Have I asked 6Storage for a written, itemized quote, including payment processing?
- Do I know the contract term, renewal date and notice period?
- Do I need a lien timeline for my state? Stitch includes timelines by state.
- Is my facility 30 to 300 units with 1 to 3 sites?
- Can I get a full export of my data from 6Storage? We found no published export guide, so ask support for tenants, units, balances and payment history.
- Have I started the free 30-day trial to see Stitch with my own units?
Questions to ask both vendors
Whichever way you lean, put the same questions to each vendor and compare the written answers.
- What is the total monthly cost for my unit count, including payment processing?
- What is the contract term, and how do I cancel?
- Can the price change after I sign, and by how much?
- Who does the data migration, what does it cost, and how long does it take?
- If I leave later, how do I get my tenants, units, ledger and documents out?
For Stitch, the answers are public. Prices are on the pricing page, there are no contracts, your price is locked while you are a customer, migration is free in 48 hours, and you can export your data anytime.
