GlazeBench

Read full description

GlazeBench is the studio notebook for potters who take glaze chemistry seriously β€” and still want an app that gets out of the way. BUILD A RECIPE, SEE THE CHEMISTRY Add materials and set percentages. The Unity Molecular Formula β€” silica, alumina, the SiOβ‚‚:Alβ‚‚O₃ ratio, and your flux balance β€” recalculates instantly, with your recipe's position plotted on the Stull chart. No spreadsheet, no waiting. CATCH PROBLEMS BEFORE THE KILN Plain-language warnings flag the things that ruin a firing: a glaze likely to run, an immature melt, a silica ratio headed for crazing, or ingredients that simply don't total 100%. SCALE TO THE GRAM Enter any batch size and read every material weight in large, high-contrast numbers you can see from across the bench β€” because you're weighing with clay on your hands, not holding the phone. NEVER LOSE A FIRING Record ramp and hold segments, the cone you fired to, a result photo, and what actually happened. Tie firings to the recipe so next time you know which batch worked and why. SOURCED, VERSIONED DATA Every oxide analysis carries a source reference and a data version, visible in the app. When the database changes you can see what changed β€” and which version you fired with. WORKS AT THE KILN The full material library ships on-device. No signal in the studio is not a problem. FREE Β· Build and calculate any recipe Β· Save up to 3 recipes Β· On-device material library GLAZEBENCH PRO Β· Unlimited recipes and firing logs Β· Live UMF chemistry and the Stull map Β· Batch scaling and cost Β· Export recipe cards to PDF Β· Sync across your devices Pro is $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial. A NOTE ON ACCURACY GlazeBench gives you guidance, not guarantees. Raw material analyses vary between suppliers and batches β€” always verify against your supplier's current data sheet, and always leach-test glazes intended for food surfaces.

Verdict

The call

FlowAnalyzer and GlazeBench are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters β€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them β€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
