Two tools, two jobs

Craftybase is built for tracking materials and inventory at volume. Doughflow is built for the price and the margin: the fastest path from a product to a number you can sell at, and the honest read on whether it is working. Here is where each one shines.

Craftybase

Doughflow

Pricing and margin for makers who sell in person

How makers price with Doughflow

  1. Add your product

    Every material with its amount, priced from what you paid. Photograph a supply receipt and Doughflow reads it in, unit conversions and all.

  2. Fold in your hours and overhead

    Your time at a rate you choose, plus packaging and your share of the workspace. Set it once and it applies to every item.

  3. Price with a margin you can see

    Doughflow shows the true cost per item and a suggested price with a live margin, so you reach a number you can sell at in minutes.

Common questions

Is Doughflow a Craftybase alternative?
It depends on the job you need done. Craftybase is built for tracking materials and inventory at volume, with automatic COGS from your sales channels. Doughflow is built for the price and the margin: the fastest path from a product to a number you can sell at, plus your wholesale and market figures. If pricing to profit is what you are after, Doughflow is the lighter, faster fit.
Does Doughflow track inventory like Craftybase?
Not in the same way, and that is on purpose. Doughflow is built around costing and pricing rather than full stock tracking. It costs your products, prices them to a margin, and reads your sales and market days. If a warehouse-grade inventory system is your main need, Craftybase is built for that.
Can I bring my products over?
Yes. You add a product and it is costed right away, with the calculator handling unit conversions. On a paid plan you can also photograph a supply receipt or import a product to fill the prices in for you, so either way you are set up in minutes, not an afternoon.
How much does Doughflow cost?
Doughflow is free to start, with no card required. Paid plans add AI capture, like reading products and receipts from a photo, and a deeper read on your business. You can cost and price your products on the free plan for as long as you like.
