Wish I could find a product the same but not have to pay double the subscription price. ----- ### "A dream come true for our business" — 5.0/5 > **Suzanne** | *8 September 2025* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been searching for ways to organise my business. We make soap and skin care products, so I have many manufacturing recipes, suppliers, and costs to account for. Craftybase was a dream come true. I had about 50 scraps of paper with notes and was manually calculating my cogs at the base of my recipes. Now, everything is in Craftybase and when I manufacture a product, it updates my inventory as well. > > **Cons**: I am learning the interface between Shopify and Craftybase. I am hoping I can learn how to have Craftybase update my inventory in Shopify when I manufacture a new product. It maybe I haven't found it yet. I've only been working in Craftybase a week, but already the improvement to my business is immeasurable. > > I am so please with the customer service, the help bot, and the interface of the app. The business of manufacturing of products is new to me the past two years. Prior to that the businesses I have run have all been service based. To have a program like Craftybase allows me to capture all of the data I need for our certifications and government compliance in Australia. Plus, all of the data for our accountant at tax time. I am better able to run the business knowing my profit per product made and love that it allows me to add in my cost of time. ----- ### "Small candy manufacturer" — 5.0/5 > **Tim** | *10 February 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The product is very easy to use an intuitive. I was able to import starting inventory and build recipes. I manufactured 3 items yesterday and it consumed everything correctly. Customer support is great too. > > **Cons**: Not sure if it is the user(me) or the software but the purchase unit vs usage unit didn’t work for me. I buy chocolate by the case but consume lbs. I put the conversion in but recipe consumed the purchase unit vs lbs. Not a huge issue. I just entered everything in lbs with no conversion. > > Overall. Great product that I would recommend to any small business. It is easy to use and is a great product to manage inventory and cost products. ----- ### "How do I feel about Craftbase? Thankful it is there" — 5.0/5 > **JOHN** | *2 April 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved the support the product offers. There is a lot of in product support and lots of instruction but I am a huge overthinker and the email support function was just amazing. It helped me get to grips with things and later on when I had to suspend my subscription due to a health issue that meant I couldnt work, they showed me how to capture and save my data for when i restart. It took me a little time to figure out what product features I needed and again getting me to the right solution I got great support. I had previously used a competitor product mainly because it was free. I was new to baking and software and discovered - as I tried to get reports sorted etc - that I needed a more professional piece of software and Craftybase is it. > > **Cons**: It is a little more complicated than it first looks so read the help sheets and think about structure. SKUs are not compulsory but better you use them . I learn by doing rather than reading so I eventually had to start again with things. But it was no problem to the guys at teh other end of the email\! And understanding what the "units" are can be tricky - at least I struggled with that for a while > > Awesome. From stock control, product traceability for compliance, costing and making life easier, I'd say Crafty base is best even for a smal, newl bakery such as mine ----- ### "Wish it had a few more features" — 3.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *24 November 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do like the capabilities and it being on the cloud. However there are some features that would be helpful. It made my organic inspection easy because I could just easily pull up the batches for my mass balance audit. > > **Cons**: I don't like that when I assign a manufacture it doesn't give any warning about a low-stock component/material. I don't like that I can't easily see what projects have been assigned to what employee. I've love daily email digests that tell me what needs to get on order, what we're getting low on. I'd love to be able to have batch numbers that are just numerical. Right now they're both letters and numbers so I had to get new batch guns for marking my batches. It's laborious to have to change the batch numbers on the guns. I'd love to be able to see what's on hand vs. what the batch will take when I go to assign a manufacture. I'd love a button on the "manufacture's" page where I could pull up an employee's assigned projects and there would be buttons where I could see all "work in progress" "not complete" and "recently completed." Would be nice to receive an email when a batch is marked off as completed. Or if a batch status changes - X employee has started working on X batch. That would be awesome. Would love time trackers for employees so I could accurately track how long a batch is taking. > > Overall it's been an improvement over Soapmaker and I like being able to assign projects and check things from home. Support has been fairly responsive and helpful. Setup took a lot of time and some of my employees haven't liked how long it takes to get their batch paperwork going. Printing is laborious sometimes. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/144117/craftybase?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/144117/craftybase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
