Lagom vs Craftybase (now Stocksmith): an honest comparison
An honest comparison for small food producers: where Craftybase, now called Stocksmith, is stronger, where Lagom is, and what Lagom does not have yet.
Craftybase, now renamed Stocksmith, is the better choice if you need lot tracking and orders from online sales channels; Lagom is the simpler choice if you make to order and want the cost and margin of every order.
The facts about Stocksmith come from its own website in October 2026 and may change.
Where Craftybase (Stocksmith) is stronger
- Batch and lot tracking with traceability reports, down to the ingredient lot, on its Indie plan and above.
- Orders imported from online sales channels.
- Multi level recipes, and stock that is deducted when you record a batch.
- Production scheduling on its Business plan.
Where Lagom is stronger
- Custom orders: customer, pickup or delivery date, deposit and card payment through Stripe, and an invoice as PDF.
- A suggested price for your target margin on every product and every order.
- 15 languages and 12 currencies.
What Lagom does not have
No lot traceability, no sync with online shops and no accounting integration. If you need those today, Stocksmith fits better.
