About Artisan's Ally

Welcome to Artisan's Ally! This tool was born from a simple idea: to empower small-batch creators, hobbyists, and artisans just like you.

We know the passion that goes into every handmade item. We also know the frustration of trying to turn that passion into a sustainable business. One of the biggest hurdles is pricing: How do you value your time? How much are your materials *really* costing you? What is the market *actually* willing to pay?

Artisan's Ally is designed to be your personal workshop manager and market analyst. It's a single place to:

• Track Your Inventory: Log all your raw materials (like resin, pigments, jesmonite, or clay) and their costs.
• Build Product Recipes: Define exactly what goes into each product you make, from materials to your valuable time (labour costs).
• Calculate Your True Cost: Instantly see your "Total Cost to Make" and a "Suggested Price" based on your desired profit margin.
• Analyze the Market: With one click, scan live eBay listings for similar products to see what your competition is charging.

Our goal is to remove the guesswork from your pricing, so you can spend less time crunching numbers and more time doing what you love: creating.
