They offer a 2-week free trial, which is basically the amount of time it took to get most of my materials and products entered. It integrates with many other software programs so it is that much easier to keep track of inventory. The pricing is reasonable, and if you can't find your answer in their chat bot, an email will get you a friendly person responding to you within 2 business days usually. They have made some updates on the look of the site, which was much needed, and they are very open to hearing your suggestions on how to make the program work better for you. I have not had many problems with the program, and the few that I have had were handled very well by the customer service department. #### Cons There are a few things that I would like to have as options on the site, but they are very minor (such as: drop-downs for categories, etc) It would also be nice to have the price charged in CAD, but again, a minor thing. #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith Pricing, integrations, ease of use, and it was exactly what I was looking for in an inventory software program, where the other ones were missing some elements that I wanted/needed. --- ### A dream come true for our business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Suzanne B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: September 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am so please with the customer service, the help bot, and the interface of the app. The business of manufacturing of products is new to me the past two years. Prior to that the businesses I have run have all been service based. To have a program like Craftybase allows me to capture all of the data I need for our certifications and government compliance in Australia. Plus, all of the data for our accountant at tax time. I am better able to run the business knowing my profit per product made and love that it allows me to add in my cost of time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have been searching for ways to organise my business. We make soap and skin care products, so I have many manufacturing recipes, suppliers, and costs to account for. Craftybase was a dream come true. I had about 50 scraps of paper with notes and was manually calculating my cogs at the base of my recipes. Now, everything is in Craftybase and when I manufacture a product, it updates my inventory as well. #### Cons I am learning the interface between Shopify and Craftybase. I am hoping I can learn how to have Craftybase update my inventory in Shopify when I manufacture a new product. It maybe I haven't found it yet. I've only been working in Craftybase a week, but already the improvement to my business is immeasurable. #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith The fit with our manufacturing line. It has an easy interface and Craftybase has thought of everything! From recipes, cogs, suppliers, inventory management. All in one app. --- ### A must-have for handmade businesses! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Samantha H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It integrates seamlessly with Etsy, the platform I sell on. I use it every single day and could not function without it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It still is invaluable for keeping track of my materials, products, orders, and formulas, and basic financial reports. If you have a handmade business and need to keep track of a million moving parts, you need Craftybase! #### Cons Cost has gone up quite a bit and subscription level is based on how many items you sell, but I really do think the value it brings to my business justifies the expense. I support the [sensitive content hidden] doing whatever they need to keep the site afloat, and they do seem to be actively improving the functionality of the software to justify the added expense. --- ### Craftybase saves me lots of time to manage my jewelry business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Maria Luisa C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I had been using Craftybase for more than 8 years. It was very easy to learn in the beginning and to make the transition from excel to their platform. Using Craftybase is really worth the money paid, it has saved me a lot of time to managing my inventory, generating quotes for custom products, and reordering materials for big orders. So I can invest more time in the creative part of my business thanks to Craftybase!. I know my info is secure with Craftybase and that I’m in good hands. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I like the most about Craftybase are three things: their staff and costumer service, their friendly environment, and how everything is connected in the design of their platform. I had found answers to all of my questions along the way and whenever I needed to resolve bugs and issues their staff where very happy and quickly to help! #### Cons The only thing I like least about Craftybase is that their basic subscription had less and less basic features with the time. #### Reasons for switching to Stocksmith Because it was so much time consuming and very manual --- ### Small Maker Business in the Real World - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Karin M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I finally have a program that I don't dread doing my paperwork and helps at tax time with the reports #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros As a small maker business, this is easy to use and set up. I love the manual and prompts for inventory. I tried other programs that cost monthly and this is easier and overall cost is scalable. #### Cons Set up was from the beginning. My spreadsheets and other programs didn't translate well. If I use scraps or left overs there is no tracking. #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith expense and too big for what i needed. Not built for small business manufacturing #### Reasons for switching to Stocksmith expense and too big for what i needed. Not built for small business manufacturing --- ### Best inventory bookeeping software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Robin C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very good inventory product and couldn't keep things straight without it. The cost for this is so much better than other software programs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The cost and adaptability after switching from quickbooks. Very helpful customer service to help me make this eork for my needs. #### Cons Needs to smooth somethings about entering repeat info but it is a work in progress and customer service works with you for what ever you need help with. #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith Cost and being able to easily switch from quickbooks #### Reasons for switching to Stocksmith They discontinued support for the product i was using --- ### Very useful for my business - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great for Tracking orders, manufacturers and cost of goods sold and inventory of products snd materials #### Cons Order line limitations. Having a large variety of products means my order lines rack up each month even without a large amount of orders and if i go over the cost is an extreme jump. No other programs has this limitation and it makes me want to switch #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith Inventora - not listed....Already set up with Craftybase and some of the manufacturing worked more seamlessly, however if i had started with inventora i likely would have adapted --- ### Great tool for figuring out handmade product costs! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nicole L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall I would highly recommend Craftybase to handmade businesses.

There is really nothing else like it out there. #### Cons There are occasional glitches or delays in the system updating something I have input. I have to refresh a bunch till I see that it's in there. #### Reasons for switching to Stocksmith Craftybase has more automated features and works well for what I need. --- ### Great Program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rebecca R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Craftybase has been an absolute game-changer for my small, witchy craft business. Their customer service is always on point—whether I have a general question or run into a technical issue, they’re friendly, helpful, and incredibly quick to respond. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The program itself is amazing. It makes managing material and product inventory so easy, helps me track my consignment locations, and allows me to bill out craft events without stress. Everything feels intuitive and thoughtfully designed for makers. #### Cons At this time, my only real challenge is around returns and exchanges. There isn’t currently an option within orders to process a customer return or exchange. I’ve tried using negative adjustments as a workaround, but it doesn’t fully capture the transaction the way a true return or exchange feature would. Similarly, on the purchasing side, there isn’t a way to create a vendor credit memo or process a refund for materials that were returned. Having built-in return, exchange, and credit memo functionality—for both customers and vendors—would make the system even more complete and eliminate the need for workarounds.Overall, this is a minor gap in an otherwise excellent program. #### Vendor response Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Hearing that Craftybase has made life easier for your witchy craft business means the world to us. Managing all those materials, products, and events can feel like herding cats, so knowing you’ve found some calm in the chaos with Craftybase is exactly why we do what we do. You’re spot on about the gaps around returns, exchanges, and vendor credits. I can share they are on the roadmap, so I've ensured your vote has been recorded and we'll be in touch directly when we have news to share. And thank you for the kind words about our support crew. Friendly, fast help is what we’d want for our own business, so that’s what we aim to deliver every single time. Replied January 2026 --- ### Small candy manufacturer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tim E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall. Great product that I would recommend to any small business. It is easy to use and is a great product to manage inventory and cost products. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The product is very easy to use an intuitive. I was able to import starting inventory and build recipes. I manufactured 3 items yesterday and it consumed everything correctly. Customer support is great too. #### Cons Not sure if it is the user(me) or the software but the purchase unit vs usage unit didn’t work for me. I buy chocolate by the case but consume lbs. I put the conversion in but recipe consumed the purchase unit vs lbs. Not a huge issue. I just entered everything in lbs with no conversion. --- ### Good product but lots of data input required - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Anna R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Craftybase makes filing taxes way simpler, which is a huge benefit for small businesses. Especially for handmade businesses #### Cons The amount of data input required to use it to the fullest potential. It would be great if it automatically connected to a bank account for expenses #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith Craftybase had better options for handmade products --- ### Needs Improvement, but Still the Best Software I've Used! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sarah S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: November 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Customer service is great - They are always there to answer my questions and help me out if I'm stuck on something. Also, during my trial period I received an email every day teaching me how to use the software. The user friendliness and the customer service is why I am sticking around! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how user friendly the software is, and how easy it is to track everything. The software has you do a stock take every month to make sure your inventory is on par and adjusts accordingly. Also, there are many reports that can be printed out for various things such as current inventory, current materials, profit and loss statements, etc. #### Cons There are some issues with matching purchases to listings unless you "manufacture" the items for you listings. I tie a purchase to a listing but it doesn't change the stock level until I "make" it, but I buy some things already pre-made so that can be a little redundant. Also, I wish the software would tie in the fees and shipping to each item so I can see actual net profits for each item. #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith Quickbooks was way too complicated for my needs --- ### Amazing for 5+ years, still great features but pricing is not worth it. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Raven T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you are a very small business starting out it will be worth it for you. Scaling up is difficult though because they overcharge now. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I think it has many perks for handmade vendors who are small - it's tough to scale up but until you do, the recipes feature is perfect for keeping track of components. and the platform is really user friendly and designed well. #### Cons Quality is amazing, but pricing not so much. For many years it was reasonable but recently they raised it too high and the benefits do not equal the pricing increase. I have been with them for so long that moving at this point is difficult, and requires inventory counts and closing my shop to move it over, so I have yet to move. I felt like legacy clients had quite a shock when the price went up x5 (literally my price went up that much without exaggeration). It is tough to recommend to people I know because once you do the work to enter all your items and create the recipes, moving it when they can raise prices unexpectedly is why most people do not trust subscription-based services. #### Reasons for switching to Stocksmith The ability to use components to keep an accurate count on inventory --- ### Experience with craftybase - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Sherri M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Im so thankful i discovered it!!!! Its been awesome and ive learned alot. I would recommend it to anyone thats serious about their business. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love how it keeps me ori ganized. It keeps my recipes so i can refer back to them. It lets me feel confident about my prices because i can see why it comes up those prices. It makes it easy at tax time with the reports i can run. #### Cons I wish it connected to quickbooks. Im not good at the cvs and putting everything there first in excel spreadsheets. #### Vendor response Thank you so much for your kind words, we’re absolutely thrilled to hear Craftybase has helped you stay organized, track your recipes, feel confident in your pricing, and simplify tax time. That’s exactly what we aim for, and it's wonderful to know it’s making a real difference for your business! You're not alone in wanting a Quickbooks connection - good news is that we are working on an integration, so stay tuned (and feel free to get in touch with us directly for updates!). Thanks again for your review, we really appreciate it! Replied July 2025 --- ### Good Platform for Crafters - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Summer R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Easy to use. Good platform for crafters. Staff is very responsive and always address bugs or issues. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Easy to use to create products, recipes, track purchases, manage inventory and orders. It also offers many reports like Profit & Loss, Customers, Orders, Material, Manufacture & Product Tracking. #### Cons The monthly subscription is a bit pricey especially with the exchange rate to CAD. I'm sure the order imports are streamlined on the US version, but in Canada, I wish I had the ability to edit imported order prices or an editable exchange rate feature would be added. The exchange rate is assumed when the order is imported, but it's not accurate to what the actual payouts are, so I end up having to copy my order to be able to edit prices and delete the imported version. --- ### Would recommend - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Joseph V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 6 months - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. There is a learning curve, but that is not a fault. I have enjoyed the experience overall, and have learned a lot. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software itself is great, well thought-out, and comprehensive. Most of the time if I need a feature, it is already there and teaches me more. It also seems they are consistently developing and are taking feedback to build in new features. The customer service has been solid and fairly quick to respond. #### Cons For a truly small business, the pricing and consistent feature-baiting to the next subscription are almost not viable. I am going to see how this goes for a while, but I may have to simply bail on the software if I can't afford it. From the buyer standpoint I think much more should be available at the basic tier. --- ### My Love for Craftybase!! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Rebecca H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Between all of the features: keeping track of purchases, orders, inventory, recipes I’m not sure where to begin. Also when I have an issue, they are an email away. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The recipes are amazing, it figures out my COGS, helps me determine pricing for wholesale and keeps track of my spending. #### Cons The tracking of consignment better and not being able to put enter in a deposit down for wholesale orders. --- ### Enjoy Using - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Hannah H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I really enjoy using Craftybase to help run my business. It's a wonderful tool for keeping track of everything I need to get the jon done. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It tracks everything for me; orders, expenses, manufactures,all my products. It makes my business easier to run. #### Cons I think what Is most want is a way to capture the total of a client in any given quarter. Right now you have to download a report and it's just an extra step. --- ### Very helpful tool! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Mari H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have had Craftybase for about 6 months now and I absolutely love everything it offers. I am building the system up from scratch so it is taking some time but already it is proving to be extremely useful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love being able to keep track of my purchases, manufacturing, recipes and inventory in one place. It makes everything flow so much smoother #### Cons I would like to see a functionality that would automatically add a recipe to a product when adding the first manufacture of said product. --- ### Why Craftybase is a must for any small business. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Lacy W. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Cosmetics - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Having used Craftybase for my small business for a number of years I find it to be very intuitive and comprehensive. It syncs with my Shopify store seamlessly as well. I don't use other super expensive add-ons or other programs as everything is at my fingertips here. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love using Craftybase for my small handcrafted bodycare business. From Cogs to Inventory, it's a breeze with this tool! #### Cons There is honestly nothing I don't like about Craftybase. If I absolutely had to find something to pick at "maybe" it would be the price because of course we all want to spend less on keeping our business up to date. But really, it's affordable and cost effective in my opinion. --- ### Overall, the best small business management platform - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Shelby C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Wholesale - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. After 10 years with Craftybase, it's still the best software for managing my raw material and product inventory, tracking the ebb and flow of unit costs to keep my product pricing on-point. Appreciate how Craftybase is always upgrading features and user experience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Very user friendly platform. The recipe feature is important to keep a consistent product for my customer base. Appreciate how Craftybase is always upgrading features and user experience. #### Cons Removal of auto manufacture in the lower tiers and I haven't had good luck with the sales platform integration for Etsy. CB imports every small expense per transaction, and I'm left having to edit several expense categories for reports for each transaction. Too daunting, So I continue to manually enter sales. --- ### Best thing ever! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Tanya S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As a handmade soap maker, Craftybase has been a game changer for my business. It tracks all my raw materials—oils, fragrances, packaging—and automatically updates inventory as I make batches. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros How easy it is to use for my soap business s. I love how it calculates the cost per bar and factors in labor and overhead, which makes pricing much easier and more accurate. It also keeps track of sales from my website and Etsy. #### Cons What I like least, though, is the learning curve—setting everything up in the beginning felt overwhelming, especially importing products and materials. --- ### I would recommend CraftyBase! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Laura F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Arts and Crafts - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

My experience with Craftybase has been very good. It helps me organize and stay current with my sales and expenditures. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Craftybase helps me keep track of materials and their quantities. As a weaver and knitter, I need to know exactly how much yarn I have in stock of each fiber, color, and dyelot. That information is easily and quickly obtained in Craftybase. #### Cons I would like Craftybase to have drop-down menus. For example, when choosing a category or a tracking unit, I'd much prefer to click and select rather than having to type in the first few letters of what I need. Also, the relationship between the Manufactures and Products is a little counterintuitive, but it all works. --- ### Great Product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Colleen L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Also has been an amazing help with ensuring that we are charging properly for our product. #### Cons The only issue we have had is not a problem with Craftybase but more with how we run our business. It did take some time for me to understand how everything connected within the program, but they do have good tutorials, which I should have read ahead of time. We discovered during our set up that we were not consistent across our sales channels with product names which caused extra work on our part but was again our fault. The program has made us think a lot more about the business side and organizing everything. #### Reasons for choosing Stocksmith Utilized the trial and liked everything it could do and our business production goes beyond what I thought the other programs could help us with. ## More reviews [Next reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/inventory-management/craftybase-profile/reviews/?page=2) --- Stocksmith Reviews, Pros and Cons - 2026 Software Advice
