Stocksmith is Craftybase renamed — same fifteen-year-old software, now pointed at "proper product businesses" with six figures in revenue and staff in the workshop. If you found it looking for a way to price your work and survive tax season, its cheapest real plan starts at $49/mo and climbs from there. MadeKeeper is the tool for the maker that positioning skips — and it's live today: $19/mo, founding rate locked for life, no order-line meters, ever.
Fair warning: MadeKeeper is an early open pilot — free while we build with founding makers, and the core app is live and usable today. A few pieces are still being built, and they're marked so. Zero customers, so zero testimonials.
If the name threw you, that's the point of this page. On 1 July 2026 Craftybase finished renaming itself to Stocksmith. Same product, same team, same data — their announcement is clear that existing customers keep their pricing and plans. But the rebrand said the quiet part out loud. Their about page describes the customer they build for now: "proper product businesses — formal LLCs, $100K+ in revenue, employees in the workshop, selling wholesale through Faire alongside their Shopify store," software "built and positioned specifically for businesses at operational scale." From the announcement itself: "somewhere along the way, the customer became a manufacturer."
None of that is a scandal. It's a small, well-run company choosing who it wants to serve. But the choice leaves a lot of people shopping — the maker at one bench, one booth, one kitchen table. That maker is who MadeKeeper is for, on purpose, and who it intends to stay for. If you want the longer, sourced version of the rebrand and the price history that led up to it, it's on the Craftybase alternative page.
The small-maker core, kept faithfully — plus the things a kitchen-table business needs that a manufacturing tool never bothered with. Everything here is live in the app today, on the one plan.
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 — all in the app today, with guided setup and the full Craftybase history migration to get you started. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, shipping labels, email to past buyers, and AI data entry are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so. See the full live-vs-building list →
Stocksmith is the new name for Craftybase. The rebrand completed on 1 July 2026 — craftybase.com now redirects to stocksmith.io, and card statements read STOCKSMITH. Per their own announcement it is the same product, team, and data, with existing customers grandfathered on their old pricing. What changed is who it is built for: their about page now describes "proper product businesses" with "$100K+ in revenue" and "employees in the workshop."
Yes — same software, renamed. If you used Craftybase, Stocksmith is that product going forward. Existing accounts carried over with pricing and plans unchanged. New sign-ups land on the Stocksmith brand and its current pricing ladder, which starts at $49/mo.
As of July 2026 stocksmith.io/pricing lists Studio at $49/mo ($41 billed annually), Indie at $99/mo, Business at $199/mo, and Growth at $349/mo, with order-line caps by plan. A $20/mo Pro option survives in their pricing FAQ for a single sales channel at very low order volume.
MadeKeeper is built for the one-bench, one-booth, one-kitchen-table maker that Stocksmith's new positioning leaves out: materials and true cost per piece, batch makes with labor amortized, a suggested-price coach, product variants, lot tracking, sales in one place, per-event craft-fair profit, money reports, consignment, mileage, and a Schedule C tax packet — all on one $19/mo plan with the founding rate locked for life, no tiers and no order-line meters. Your full Stocksmith export migrates over — purchases to lots, production runs to batches, orders to sales on their original dates — previewed and one-click undoable. The app is live now in an open founding pilot, free while we build with founding makers.
Not always. If you already have a Stocksmith account and you were grandfathered at a price that works, and the software fits, there is no reason to move. And if you genuinely run at manufacturing scale — employees, wholesale through Faire, production scheduling — Stocksmith is the better tool and MadeKeeper is not trying to be. The switch makes sense if you are shopping at the new $49-and-up prices for a kitchen-table business, which is a different thing than the software was first built for.
The app is live and free during the pilot. Lock the $19/mo founding rate for as long as you stay.
