> Materials, recipes and costing for makers and small manufacturers

Stocksmith, called Craftybase until its recent rename, is inventory and costing software for makers and small-batch manufacturers. It tracks raw materials, recipes and bills of materials, works out the cost of goods for each product, and pulls orders in from Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, Faire and other channels so materials come off stock as you sell.

## Ways to pay less

- **Save about 17% with annual billing** (Annual discount): Paying yearly saves about 17%: Indie is $990 a year instead of $99 a month, and every plan's yearly price equals ten months. Source: https://stocksmith.io/pricing/

## Key features

- **Materials and recipes:** Track raw materials and components, convert purchase units to the units you use, and build single or multi-level bills of materials.
- **Cost of goods and labor:** Works out COGS from material and internal labor costs on every plan, with pricing guidance and expense records with attachments.
- **Sales channel imports:** Pulls orders from Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Etsy, Square, Faire, Wix and Squarespace and deducts the materials behind each sale.
- **Production runs:** Automated production assemblies from Indie and production scheduling from Business, with production reports.
- **Batch tracking and compliance:** Batch and lot tracking with traceability, compliance and audit reports from the Indie plan.
- **Accounting connections:** Sends expenses, supplier invoices and COGS to Xero or QuickBooks, with full QuickBooks inventory sync on Growth.

## Good for

- Etsy and Shopify makers who want to know what each product costs to make
- Small-batch makers that need batch and lot traceability
- Small manufacturers that sell direct and wholesale through Faire

## Worth knowing

- The plan you need is set by order lines a month, and each product in an order counts as a separate line.
- Pro allows 1 user and one sales channel; a second, different channel needs Studio or higher.
- Batch tracking and traceability start on Indie, and production scheduling and Amazon start on Business.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. Stocksmith, called Craftybase until its recent rename, is for makers who want to know what each product really costs: materials, recipes, labour and cost of goods, with Etsy, Shopify, Amazon and Faire orders taking materials off stock as you sell. It's affordable at the small end, but plans are set by order lines, and batch tracking and automatic stock sync wait for the dearer plans.

- **Value for money: B.** Pro's 25 order lines and one sales channel won't stretch to a shop and an online store, so the figure is Studio: $41 a month billed yearly ($490 a year), with 250 order lines and unlimited channels, users and locations. Inside the cheaper quarter of this category.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** No free plan, but a 14-day free trial on any plan with no credit card required. Long enough to enter your materials and see a real cost per product.
- **Features: C.** Materials with unit conversion, single and multi-level recipes, cost of goods from materials and labour, and channel imports that deduct materials. It does the maker's costing job fully, but the listing shows no barcode scanning, batch tracking starts on Indie and automatic stock sync on Business.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You'll enter materials, unit conversions and recipes before the cost figures mean anything, which is real setup for a busy maker.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, WooCommerce, Square, Faire, Wix, Squarespace, QuickBooks and Xero. No phone or desktop app is listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Stocksmith you could make: inventory, expense tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $240 a year.

- You could make: Inventory, expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Shopify, Etsy and Amazon among them.
