CrossBatch vs Stocksmith (formerly Craftybase)

Stocksmith is inventory and manufacturing software for "cosmetics brands, food producers, bakeries, and small-batch manufacturers." Craftybase became Stocksmith on July 1, 2026. CrossBatch is a production queue for personalized, made-to-order jobs. They solve different problems, and some shops use both kinds of tool. Sources: stocksmith.io, its pricing page, its App Store listing and the rename announcement, checked October 20, 2026.

Stocksmith's pricing

On the Shopify App Store (14-day free trial, no free plan): Studio $49/month (250 order lines), Indie $99 (1,000), Business $199 (5,000), Growth $349 (5,000+). Stocksmith's own pricing page also lists a Pro plan from $20/month for one sales channel, and lower prices with yearly billing. Batch and lot tracking start at Indie; production scheduling starts at Business.

Where Stocksmith is the better fit

• You need real inventory: raw materials, work in progress and finished goods, bills of materials, cost per product, automatic material deduction, lot traceability. CrossBatch does none of this.
• Stock sync to your storefront and more channels, including Amazon and Faire.
• Production scheduling for recipe-style runs (Business plan).

Where CrossBatch is the better fit

• One-off personalized jobs: the buyer's personalization on every job and job sheet, proofs, and working-day promised dates. Stocksmith's pages don't mention buyer personalization.
• Batches by material and machine for laser and print setups, rather than recipe-based production runs.
• Price for order-focused shops: free for 50 orders, or $19 for 500.
