Every pour, to the mixed ounce —
for $19 a month, flat.
Craftybase became Stocksmith, aimed at manufacturing-scale businesses, on a $49-to-$349 ladder. Resin math is two-part math — resin and hardener by the ounce at ratio, mica by the gram, molds that wear out a few dozen pours in, and 24 to 72 hours of cure before anything ships. That's a bench craft, not a factory, and MadeKeeper costs it the way you mix it, all for $19/mo.
$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 resin belongs on a bench-sized tool
A pour's recipe pulls mixed ounces of resin and hardener at your working ratio, so gallon-kit economics finally show up per coaster. Mica, pigment, and inclusions log per pour instead of vanishing into the supply drawer. Mold wear rides along as a consumable — a $9 mold good for about thirty pours costs 30¢ a pour, so your bestseller doesn't secretly retire its molds for free. And pieces mid-cure count as made-but-not-sellable, respecting the demold-to-ship gap. None of it is a tier away.

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 resin artists ask
Is there a cheaper Craftybase alternative for resin artists?
MadeKeeper is $19/mo for the whole back office, with no order-line meters — against Stocksmith's (was Craftybase) $49-to-$349 tiers. For a resin bench it's sized right: two-part costing by the mixed ounce, mold wear carried as a consumable, and the cure window on the books.
Does MadeKeeper handle two-part resin and mold wear like Craftybase?
Yes. Log resin and hardener at their prices and a pour's recipe pulls mixed ounces at your ratio, so a 10-oz pour costs what the kit math says every time. Set a pours-per-mold estimate and each pour carries its share of mold wear; retire a clouded mold early and the numbers stay honest.
Can I move my resin data off Craftybase?
Your materials, purchases, pours (as batches), and orders (as sales) migrate free on their original dates. Recipes are the one thing no Craftybase export contains, so you rebuild them with your old per-piece cost as a target. The switch page has the full walkthrough.
