Know what your work really costs — and price it to pay yourself.
CrafterBy adds up your materials, labour, machine time, waste and overhead, then shows you a price that finally values your work. Built for makers, not accountants.
Cost breakdown
Walnut cutting board
You're busy. So why is money still tight?
If any of these hit home, you're not pricing wrong on purpose — you just never had the numbers.
You guess your prices
You add up materials, double it, and hope. Labour, machine time and overhead never make it into the number — so your best-seller might be your worst earner.
Your time is free
The hours you pour in don't show up anywhere. A piece that takes half a day sells for the price of the materials plus a little — and you're paying the customer to take it.
A price change breaks everything
Your supplier raises a price and now every product that uses it is wrong. In a spreadsheet you'd fix each one by hand. Most makers just don't.
From materials to a confident price in minutes
No accounting degree. No fragile spreadsheet. Three steps.
Add your materials & machines
Enter what you buy and what it costs — by the gram, the metre, the board foot. Set your hourly rate and your machines' run cost once.
Build a product, see its true cost
Add the materials and time a product uses. CrafterBy rolls up materials, labour, machine time, waste and overhead into one honest number.
Set a price that pays you
Pick a margin or markup and get your price. When a material price changes, every product that uses it re-prices automatically.
Everything you need to price with confidence
Not a spreadsheet with extra steps — a living cost model built around how makers actually work.
Still pricing in a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet is where pricing starts — and where it quietly breaks. It doesn't update itself: when a material price changes, every product that uses it is silently wrong until you fix each formula by hand. CrafterBy keeps the whole model live.

Questions makers ask before they start
Do I need to know accounting?
No. If you can list what you buy and roughly how long a piece takes, CrafterBy does the costing for you. It's built for makers, not accountants.
What kinds of craft does it work for?
Any craft where a product is made from materials, time and equipment — woodworking, jewellery, candles, ceramics, laser, 3D printing, leather, sewing, resin and many more. If you make and sell it, CrafterBy can price it.
How is this different from a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet doesn't update itself. In CrafterBy, change a material's price once and every product that uses it re-prices automatically — and machine time, waste and overhead are built in, not bolted on.
Is it really free to start?
Yes. The free plan lets you price real products with the essentials, no credit card required. Upgrade only when you outgrow it.
Will it work in my currency and language?
Yes. CrafterBy is bilingual and localised — prices, dates and numbers show in your currency and format, whether you're in the US, Brazil, Portugal or Chile.
Can I set wholesale and retail prices?
Yes. Set both on the same true cost, so you can see the margin on each before you commit to a stockist or a marketplace.
