BakeOnyx vs Craftybase (Now Stocksmith): Which Fits Your Bakery?
AI-assisted draft, reviewed and edited by the BakeOnyx team.
Craftybase changed its name to Stocksmith on July 1, 2026. It is the same company and the same founders, and craftybase.com now goes to stocksmith.io. Stocksmith is inventory and manufacturing software for small-batch product businesses — bakeries, cosmetics brands and food producers. It is very good at one question: what does a batch really cost? BakeOnyx is built around the bakery day instead: inquiries, quotes, orders, production and delivery, with costing inside. Which one you need depends on whether your problem is stock and cost, or orders and customers.
