Craftybase review

Craftybase suits makers and small manufacturers whose main planning job is knowing material costs, batches and stock across sales channels. Pro starts at $20 a month for a single channel, Studio adds multi-user inventory and recipe management at $41 a month billed annually, and Indie, at $83 a month billed annually or $99 monthly, opens unlimited users and channels with BOM and recipe management, automated production assemblies, batch and lot tracking and traceability reports. Automatic COGS and stocktaking help at tax time. The limits are order volume and scheduling: Indie allows 1,000 order lines a month, and production scheduling, Amazon integration and automatic stock sync start on Business at $166 a month billed annually. Craftybase is not a capacity planner for a machine shop, but for soap makers, candle makers and similar batch producers it is quick to learn and priced for small teams.

Who it is for

Makers and small brands that need recipe or BOM costing, batch tracking and COGS more than full production scheduling.
