Craftfair helps makers of handmade goods find the fair price for every piece, counting everything that really goes into it: materials (with waste), your own time, studio expenses, packaging and sales-channel fees. In seconds you see the suggested price, the break-even price (below it you lose money), the estimated profit and where every cent comes from, in a clear chart. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Quick calculator: type costs and time and get a price right away, with no setup. • Products: save your pieces with materials, time and costs. A cost changed? The price follows. • Materials library: register what you buy and reuse it in your products; the app converts units (cm, m, in, ft, kg, g, l, ml…). • Studio expenses: spread rent, power and tools across each piece so you never sell below your real cost. • Margin or markup, made clear: see the difference with your own numbers. • Editable fee profiles: adjust the fees of the channel where you sell (fairs, online shop, custom orders). The sample profiles use made-up values, so check the real fees of your channel. • Many currencies, 4 languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish and French. • For iPhone and iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your products, costs and margins stay on your device and the app works offline. You can save a backup of your data to a file whenever you want, for free. FREE AND PRO Start for free: unlimited quick calculator, up to 3 products, 10 materials and 1 custom fee profile. Craftfair Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription, and unlocks unlimited products, materials and fee profiles, sales-channel comparison, full price history, product duplication, custom rounding and PDF and CSV export. Craftfair is independent and not affiliated with any marketplace. Results are estimates based on the values you enter and are not accounting, tax or financial advice.

Verdict

The call

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