CrafterBy vs Craftybase
Both track maker costs — the fit depends on what you sell and where.
Craftybase is a well-known inventory-and-COGS tool for makers, strong on materials-based bookkeeping and marketplace bookkeeping. CrafterBy leans into cost modelling, machine time, and a built-in storefront/directory.
| Feature | CrafterBy | Craftybase |

| Price change propagates to products | Varies | |
| Built-in storefront + directory | ||
| Bilingual (EN + pt-BR/es) | Limited |
Craftybase: Where it shines

- Established marketplace integrations
- Long track record with handmade sellers
Craftybase: Where it falls short
- Less focused on per-machine run-cost modelling
- No built-in storefront / maker directory
- Bilingual/LATAM support is limited
The bottom line
If you want inventory bookkeeping first, compare closely. If you want cost modelling with machine time and a storefront, CrafterBy is built for that.
