Bakesy and Makeable solve different halves of running a home bakery. Bakesy gives you a shop, order request forms and invoices. Makeable connects your recipes to ingredient stock so you know whether the orders coming in can actually be baked.
Makeable is a Bakesy alternative, or companion, for bakers who need recipe-based ingredient capacity, order shortfall checks and cost per unit. Bakesy focuses on the customer side: a bakery shop page, custom order forms, branded invoices, payments and an availability calendar. Choose Bakesy for taking and invoicing orders; choose Makeable for knowing whether your flour, butter and boxes cover them.

You already take orders through DMs, a form or a shop, and the stressful part is knowing whether you have enough butter, flour and boxes for this weekend. Add one recipe free and check capacity and shortfalls.
Your pain is the back-and-forth with customers: collecting cake details, sending invoices and taking payment. Bakesy is built for that conversation, and Makeable does not provide customer order forms or invoices.
Many home bakers keep a customer-facing order tool and add stock planning behind it. Paste or import confirmed orders into Makeable to check ingredients before you accept the next one.
Makeable does not replace order forms, invoices or payment collection. Decide whether you are adding Makeable alongside your order tool or replacing a spreadsheet you use for ingredients.
Enter the recipe you bake most, with batch yield and the ingredients on your shelf today. Makeable converts compatible units, so you can type grams, cups or kilos as you bake.
Paste or import confirmed orders by CSV on any plan, then check which ingredient runs out first. Ingredient capacity does not account for oven time or your own hours, so check those too.
Partly. Makeable replaces the ingredient and capacity side many bakers track in spreadsheets: recipes, stock, batch capacity, shortfalls and cost per unit. It does not replace Bakesy's customer order forms, invoices or payment collection.
As reviewed on October 19, 2026, Bakesy lists Standard at $9.99 per month and Premium at $17.99 per month. Makeable has an ongoing free Maker plan, with Studio at $19 per month and Workshop at $49 per month in USD. Check both pricing pages for current terms.
Bakesy's published features focus on order forms, invoices, payments, availability and reviews, and Premium is described as including an inventory and revenue dashboard. Its feature list does not describe recipe-level ingredient requirements or batch capacity. Makeable is built around that calculation.
Yes. Keep taking orders in Bakesy and paste or import confirmed orders into Makeable by CSV. Makeable then checks whether your recorded ingredients cover them and shows what to buy. There is no direct Bakesy connection.
Makeable's free Maker plan covers 5 products, 30 materials and 15 open orders with no card required, including production runs and cost per unit. That is usually enough to test your best-selling bakes before deciding.
