Craftybase became Stocksmith. Here's what that means for you.

If you've used Craftybase for years, you probably noticed the emails: on July 1, 2026, the product formerly known as Craftybase renamed itself Stocksmith. Same team, same software, new name — and, more importantly, a new audience. The homepage no longer mentions Etsy, Schedule C, or taxes anywhere. It's now built for "cosmetics brands, food producers, bakeries, and small-batch manufacturers."

What actually changed

The rebrand blog post frames it as "the customer became a manufacturer" — Stocksmith is chasing bigger operations with Shopify, Amazon, and Faire inventory sync. If you're a solo Etsy seller making candles or jewelry in a spare room, you're not who the new homepage is talking to anymore, even though the underlying product still works for you.

The pricing, as it actually stands today

• Pro — $24/mo (0–50 order lines/mo). Exists only in the knowledge base, not the marketing pricing page. Schedule C report is not available on this tier.
• Studio — $49/mo (51–250 order lines/mo). The cheapest tier that includes the Schedule C Guidance report.
• Indie — $99/mo ($83/mo billed annually, 1,000 order lines/mo)
• Business — $199/mo ($166/mo annual, up to 5,000 order lines/mo)
• Growth — $349/mo ($291/mo annual, 5,000+ order lines/mo)

So a tax report from the rebranded product runs ~$588/year minimum (Studio, billed annually) — and that's before you hit real order volume, where the price climbs fast.

What we do differently

CottageLedger is built for exactly the segment Stocksmith is moving away from: one Etsy shop, handmade products, a Schedule C to file. Upload the CSV statements Etsy already gives you (no API connection required — which also avoids Stocksmith's documented issue where its Etsy API pull "performs a best-effort attempt to match fees to orders" and can misalign shipping-label timestamps). Get every fee itemized, true per-product cost from your own material recipes, and a Schedule C report mapped to the real IRS form — for $79, once, per tax year. No $49/mo floor, no order-line caps, nothing that renews without you noticing.

Full sourcing for every number above — and the rest of the competitive landscape — is in our honest comparison.
