A pennies business.
Priced like the pennies matter.
Craftybase is Stocksmith now, aimed at six-figure businesses, on a $49-to-$349 ladder. Jewelry is a pennies business in a crowded market — beads by the strand, findings by the hundred, a design that becomes fourteen colorways before lunch — and that's exactly why a tool that meters your order lines is the wrong shape for a market-table maker. MadeKeeper counts your cost per pair to the penny, handles every colorway as a variant, and never charges you more for a good sales month.
$19/mo for the whole back office, kept for as long as you stay. No card to start — MadeKeeper asks for one when you subscribe, not before. The shop stays free for cost a piece and one fair — no product cap. The tax packet, Etsy and Square, and more fairs are the $19.
Honest up front: the app is live and taking subscriptions today. It is young, so expect a rough edge here and there — tell me when you hit one and I will fix it. Every Craftybase fact below is sourced on the main comparison page.
Why jewelry makers feel the tiers first
Order-line caps hit high-volume, low-price sellers hardest — and that is jewelry to a tee. Sell a strong weekend of $14 earrings and a metered plan wants more money for it; MadeKeeper has no order-line meters at any volume, ever. On top of that: a $6.50 strand of 42 beads is 15.5¢ a bead, and MadeKeeper does that division for every strand, findings from the per-100 bag costed per piece, and one design in fourteen colorways as one product with variants — each with its own count, so restocking the table is a list, not a memory test.

Straight about what's live
Materials and true cost per piece, batch "makes" with your labor amortized in, the suggested-price coach, product variants, sales that drain stock, the market-day quick-sale screen, lot tracking, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, money-insight reports, multi-location consignment, the cure/best-by heads-up engine, mileage, expenses, and the Schedule C tax packet are all in the app today, with guided setup and the full Craftybase history migration to get you started. So are Etsy order sync, Square card sync, your own shop page, a Buy button on your own Square account, and custom-order requests off a piece you already sold. On the $24 MadeKeeper AI plan you also get receipts, shelves and recipe cards read from a photo — photo reads are on that plan; hand entry is how the $19 shop starts. Still building: your own books answered in plain words, buying a shipping label inside the app, and a best-customers report. MadeKeeper does not send marketing email to your buyers and is not going to: every maker here sends from one shared reputation, and a quote that has to arrive matters more than a mailing list. Nothing above is dressed up as done when it is not. See the full live-vs-building list →
Questions jewelry makers ask
Is there a cheaper Craftybase alternative for jewelry makers?
MadeKeeper is $19/mo with no order-line meters at any volume — which matters most for jewelry, a high-count low-price craft that metered plans punish. Against Stocksmith's (formerly Craftybase) $49-to-$349 tiers, which meter order lines from Indie up, it's built to be the market-table maker's size.
Does MadeKeeper handle colorway variants like Craftybase?
Yes. One earring design in fourteen colorways is one product with variants, each keeping its own stock and sales — so you'll learn the terracotta outsells the sage three to one and make the next batch accordingly. Cost per pair is counted to the penny, packaging and earring cards included.
Can I move my jewelry catalog and history off Craftybase?
Your materials, products, purchases, makes, and sales migrate free on their original dates. Recipes (the material-to-design links) are the one thing no Craftybase export carries, so you rebuild them with your old per-pair cost as a target. The switch page walks it through.
