Craftybase Pricing and Stocksmith Plans in 2026

Craftybase pricing, now sold under the Stocksmith name, runs from $20 to $291 a month billed yearly: Pro $20, Studio $41, Indie $83, Business $166 and Growth $291. Month to month the same plans cost $24, $49, $99, $199 and $349. Pro connects one sales channel, Studio and above connect as many as you like, and Indie and up are metered in order lines, where each product in an order counts as one line. Every plan has a 14-day trial with no card required.

We read the Stocksmith pricing page and its comparison pages on September 30, 2026. Two things are worth knowing before you trust any other price you find. First, Craftybase changed its name to Stocksmith on July 1, 2026, and craftybase.com now redirects, so a lot of articles quoting "Craftybase pricing" are describing an older page. Second, several software directories still list a Business plan at $149 a month. The vendor page shows Business at $199 month to month and $166 a month billed yearly. The figures below come from the vendor, with a year of real cost for three kinds of shop.

Craftybase pricing in 2026, every plan

All prices are in USD before sales tax. Yearly billing saves about 17%, which on Indie is the difference between $1,188 and $990 over a year. The vendor states that every plan includes multi-level bills of materials, automatic material deduction when you record a manufacture, and a real-time cost per unit, so costing itself is never the upsell. What changes as you climb is the number of channels, users, order lines and how often sales import: daily on Indie, hourly from Business.

Pro is the plan most lists miss. It sits below Studio on the pricing FAQ rather than in the main grid, and it has one hard limit: one sales channel. You can run two shops on that same channel, two Etsy stores for example, but adding Shopify next to Etsy means moving up to Studio.

What a year of Craftybase really costs

The step that catches people is the second one. A maker who starts on Pro at $240 a year and then opens a Shopify store is not paying a little more; the bill roughly doubles to $492, because the channel limit, not the order count, forces the move. If you already know you will sell on two platforms within the year, price Studio from the start and compare that against the alternatives.

What counts as an order line

From Indie up, the allowance is measured in order lines, and the vendor defines one clearly: each product within an order counts as one line, so an order with three different products uses three. Lines reset at the start of each calendar month. A shop with 400 orders a month that averages 2.5 products per order is using 1,000 lines, which is exactly the Indie cap, while a shop with 400 single-item orders uses 400. Bundles, gift sets and sample packs push the count up fastest. Before choosing between Indie and Business, pull your busiest month, count products per order, and multiply. December is the month to test, not March.

Craftybase prices you will still see that are out of date

• Business at $149 a month, $1,490 a year. Still shown on some review directories. The vendor page lists $199 month to month and $1,990 a year.
• A single entry price with no Pro or Studio tier. Older write-ups start the ladder at Indie. Both lower plans are on the current page.
• Inventora at $19, $39 and $99 in "Craftybase vs Inventora" comparisons. Those are Inventora's yearly-billed rates. Its own page shows $23, $48 and $120 month to month, with 18% off yearly.

Stocksmith's own comparison page says plans start at $20 a month billed yearly and $24 monthly, which matches the pricing FAQ. When a number you find elsewhere does not match those two sources, trust the vendor.

Is Craftybase worth it for your shop

It pays for itself when material costing is a real job. A maker with fifty products built from two hundred supplies needs a bill of materials per product, an average cost per material that moves with supplier prices, and a way to value unsold stock on December 31. Doing that by hand takes a weekend a quarter, and a single broken spreadsheet formula quietly under-prices every product built on it. At $240 to $492 a year, the tool is cheaper than one of those weekends.

It does not pay for itself if you have nothing to cost. Digital download sellers, print-on-demand shops and resellers of finished goods have no recipe to track. If your supply receipts are the part that is actually piling up, it can be enough to pull supplier receipts into a spreadsheet and keep a simple cost sheet until volume justifies an inventory system. For makers comparing tools, our Craftybase alternatives page prices Inventora, Ardent Seller, Katana, Zoho Inventory and QuickBooks Online Plus side by side, including how each one counts volume.

What Craftybase does not tell you about your income

Stocksmith answers what a product cost to make. It is not built to answer what each platform actually paid you after its cut, and for an Etsy maker that is a separate and sizable number. A $40 Etsy order carries a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee of $2.60 and roughly 3% plus $0.25 in US payment processing, about $4.25 in total before Offsite Ads take 12% or 15% of the orders they bring in. The Etsy fee breakdown goes line by line.

That is the gap Earnly fills. It imports your Etsy monthly statement with every fee line, adds Shopify, PayPal, Stripe and any creator income you have, and shows gross, fees, take-home and the expected payout date on one row per platform. Many makers run an inventory tool for costs and Earnly for income, and hand both numbers to their accountant. See the Etsy sales tracker, or how the whole stack fits together on Etsy bookkeeping software. If you also keep the books in QuickBooks, our QuickBooks Plus pricing page covers the inventory tier and its August 2026 price change.
