Craftybase
Inventory, costing, and manufacturing software that tells you what each product really costs to make.
A well-targeted inventory and costing tool that nails the makers' core pain: knowing true production cost and pricing for profit. Highly relevant for craft and small-batch sellers, less so for plain resellers.
Best for: Small-batch makers selling handmade soap, candles, jewelry, cosmetics, or food who need accurate cost-per-unit, margins, and inventory across Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon.
About Craftybase
Craftybase is inventory and costing software for small-batch makers (soap, candle, jewelry, cosmetics, and food). Users build recipes/BOMs per product to track materials, labor, and overhead, and the tool automatically calculates true cost per unit, COGS, and profit margins that update when supplier prices change. It tracks batches from ingredients to finished goods and syncs orders and stock with sales channels like Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon.
Key features

- Automatic COGS updates as material prices change
- Pricing guidance based on actual material, labor, and overhead costs
- Batch and production tracking from ingredients to finished goods
- Order and stock sync with Etsy, Shopify, and Amazon
