Snap a supplier receipt and Costara turns it into the true cost of every piece — and a price that protects your margin. Your costs, your targets, your math — Costara just reads the receipts and keeps it straight.
The beautiful part is yours. Costara quietly does the other half — what each one truly costs to make, and what it should sell for.
Photograph any supplier receipt right from your phone — Costara extracts every line and updates your costs. Or type a purchase in plain words.
Materials, packaging, labor, and overhead roll into a true per-unit cost — fully broken down, with units converted from how you buy to how you use.
Your markups become wholesale and retail prices, with the margin behind each — and a badge that flags anything underpriced.
No setup marathon: a five-step checklist on your dashboard walks you from first material to first priced product, and ticks itself off as you go.
Five screens that turn a pile of receipts into prices you can stand behind — costing, intake, inventory, and margin, each a tap away.
Average margin, inventory value, and exactly which products need a price review — on one screen. The numbers re-figure themselves every time a cost changes, so you always know where you stand.
Open the dashboard
Photograph any invoice and Costara reads every line, then rolls the new prices straight into your materials. The shoebox of receipts becomes live costs — no spreadsheet, no manual entry.
Scan a receipt
Track materials the way you buy them and Costara converts to how you use them — by the gram, the ounce, the millilitre. Every restock updates a weighted-average cost, so your prices never drift out of date.
See materials
Build a recipe from materials, labor, and overhead and get a real per-unit cost — fully broken down. Set your markups once and see wholesale and retail prices side by side, with the margin behind each.
Cost a product
Track the shops and markets that stock your products: count what’s on the shelf in seconds, see the wholesale value sitting out in the world, and catch what’s running low before you need to reorder.
See locations
A supplier bumps a price and a spreadsheet stays quiet. Costara notices, shows you exactly which products it hurt, and hands you a better price — with the reasoning written out.
You snap the restock receipt like always. Costara updates the cost — and notices the jump.
Every priced product that change touched, with the margin it left behind. No hunting through formulas.
One tap gets three honest prices from your own costs and targets, with the why written in plain words. Nothing changes until you accept.
Rather play it out before it happens? The built-in pricing simulator answers “what if wax goes up 10%?” on any product — pure math, free, no credits.
One maker getting their numbers straight.
Everything to protect your margin as you grow.
A growing studio sharing one set of numbers.
One AI credit = one AI action — a receipt page scanned, a product drafted from a description, or an AI re-price. Costing, materials, and the simulator never use credits. More in the FAQ.

“Turns out a bunch of my soaps were barely breaking even and I had no idea. I bumped a few prices, cut one scent that was never worth the effort, and I'm not doing spreadsheet math at midnight anymore.”
“I used to price my loaves off whatever the shop down the road charged. Now I actually know what the flour, starter, and my time cost me per loaf — so when supplier prices jump, I'm not guessing whether I'm still making money.”
Margins shown across Costara are estimates from your own costs, not audited figures.
