What BoothInventory does well

BoothInventory speaks directly to makers who sell at shows. Its count-in, count-out approach and show-cost tracking help you see what sold and whether an event earned its fee.

Compare the jobs you need done

Pricing

BoothInventory

A paid Weekend Maker tier is described, but we could not verify a current price from the official pages reviewed. Check directly before deciding.

CraftSense Pro

Stallholder is £9 a month; Event Organiser is £19 a month, with 14 free days and no card needed. Monthly billing only today.

At the stall

BoothInventory

Finished-goods counts, stock taken to shows and event results are central to its published approach. These are inventory tools, not evidence of payment processing.

CraftSense Pro

Barcode stock checks, a built-in till, quick-tap favourites, cash change calculations and rush mode. Take card payments with your own reader, then record the sale.

Selling with no signal

BoothInventory

Offline POS checkout is not documented in the official pages reviewed. Ask about offline counting and selling separately.

CraftSense Pro

Prepare the Sell page while online, then save sales on your device with no signal. They send when you reconnect; card payments need their own connection or reader support.

Materials and costing

BoothInventory

The reviewed pages focus on finished goods and show costs; recipe costing and supplier lot tracking are not documented there.

CraftSense Pro

Record raw materials, recipes and machine time, work out production cost, and trace production runs to supplier lot numbers.

UK VAT

BoothInventory

Specific UK VAT reports are not established by the official sources linked below.

CraftSense Pro

VAT summaries, UK tax-year reports, invoices and accounting exports. Check your tax treatment with your accountant.

Running your own fair

BoothInventory

The reviewed sources describe fairs you attend, not organiser-side pitch bookings.

CraftSense Pro

Event Organiser adds pitch maps, booking pages, deposits, approvals and day sheets. Stallholder includes event and product profit reports.

Official sources

“Not documented” means we could not establish it from these sources, not that the other tool cannot do it.
