Stocksmith (formerly Craftybase) review

Stocksmith, the new name for Craftybase, is the best fit on this list for people who make what they sell. It tracks raw materials and finished products together, so a recipe or bill of materials can turn a batch of wax, wicks and jars into candles, and the cost of goods is worked out automatically. Pro starts at $20 a month for a single sales channel, Studio at $41 a month adds unlimited sales channel integrations and multi-user inventory, and Indie at $83 a month billed annually adds 1,000 order lines a month, unlimited users, batch and lot tracking, traceability reports and automated production assemblies. Stock sync on Indie is manual with daily imports; Business, at $166 a month billed annually, brings automatic stock sync, hourly imports, production scheduling and the Amazon integration. It is less suited to resellers who never assemble anything, since much of the product is about production and costing.

Who it is for

Makers and small manufacturers who need recipes, batch tracking and accurate cost of goods.

Price

Pro from $20 a month for one sales channel; Studio from $41 a month.

If you're running a single sales channel with very low order volume, Pro starts at $20/mo.
