One Bakery Buddy replaces your whole stack.
A serious solo baker is usually paying for three or four disconnected tools that don't talk to each other, and not one of them has AI. Here's roughly what that runs in 2026.
- Cake-order & pricing tool (e.g. Bake That Batter)~$9/mo
- Invoicing & financials (e.g. FreshBooks Plus)~$43/mo
- Website builder (e.g. Squarespace or Wix)~$16/mo
- Social scheduling (e.g. Metricool)~$18/mo
- Total — four separate logins, no AI~$86/mo
Typical 2026 list prices, rounded. On the marketing side we cover email campaigns, SmartLinks, and the content planner — we don't post to your social accounts for you.
About payment fees
Selling platforms take a big cut of every sale — Hotplate charges around 5% + $0.55 per order, and Castiron took 10%. Bakery Buddy charges 1% on Home, and nothing on Baker or Bakery.
About the old tools
Order-notebook apps like Cake Boss are cheap because that's all they do. Bakery Buddy runs the whole business — orders, money, website, and marketing — and Buddy does the work for you.
