Your materials are chenille skeins, safety eyes by the pair and millimeter, and fiberfill by the bag — cheap enough that pricing by materials is a trap. An ami is hours of magic rings and invisible decreases, and the con table doesn't care that the yarn was $4. MadeKeeper puts your time on the price tag where it belongs.

Say you finish a medium octopus:
At a $38 con price, five hours of crochet paid $6.83 an hour. Now you know exactly what raising to $45 does — and what the answer to "can you do it for $20?" costs you.
If your amis could end up with small children, MadeKeeper keeps the materials and batch records that CPSIA paperwork asks about — so "not a toy" labeling decisions come with records behind them.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Log the bag at its price and the per-pair cost computes itself — 8¢ a pair on an $8 bag. Each ami's recipe pulls pairs, and you'll see the bin running low before restock week.
Yes. An event gets its table fee, travel, lodging, and hours; your load-out list and end-of-day count-back give it the sales. The verdict — go back or skip it — comes out in profit per hour.
Log both honestly for a month and compare profit per hour. Customs usually win on price and lose on hours; MadeKeeper shows you which side of that trade your queue is actually on.
