Sound familiar?
Running a studio shouldn't feel like this.

If any of this sounds like your week, you're not alone — and you're not out of options.

  • ✕Pricing guesses written on sticky notes or scrap paper
  • ✕Spreadsheets that don't add up — or too many of them to keep track of
  • ✕Running out of a key ingredient mid-batch
  • ✕No idea which products actually make you money
  • ✕Recalling an ingredient with no idea which product batches it's in

What our makers are saying
★★★★★

"I finally know what every product actually costs me. Before this I was literally guessing my prices from invoices in a spreadsheet and hoping I had it right. Now I can see my margin before I even make a batch."

Soap & Skincare Maker
★★★★★

"The ingredient trace feature alone is worth it. I just had a supplier issue and was able to find every product that ingredient was in. Quickly too!"

B
Ben
Candle Maker
★★★★★

"I used to have three spreadsheets just to figure out if I was making money. Now it's one place and it actually updates when I log an invoice. I wish I'd had this sooner."

Why I built this

Last year when I was thinking of expanding my business, I realized I needed a better solution for managing my ingredient inventory and pricing my products for profitability. This was meant to be a solution that would save me time and help me make better decisions. After talking with other makers, I knew I wasn't alone in this challenge. At the same time, our community soaping calculator went down and I knew we needed a new one, so I built one and just kept going. That's how Studio For Makers came to be, and I hope it helps your studio too.
