BakeBug or Confita?
BakeBug is a broad bakery dashboard: presales, market sales, quotes, loyalty points, gift cards and email campaigns, free through 2026 for early signups. Confita gives you a storefront you can design and a more flexible path from product to payment.
Updated
Choose BakeBug if…
one broad dashboard and the free period are the point.
- You sell at markets and want those sales in the same records.
- Loyalty points, gift cards, or email campaigns matter to you.
- You bake in Canada, the US, the UK, Ireland, or Australia and want US$0 software through 2026.
Choose Confita if…
your shop needs to look good and close the sale.
- You want instant checkout for products, with custom work as a second path when needed.
- You want a branded storefront with more room to make it yours.
- You want products, orders, and payment choices in one browser workflow.
Same browser link. Different order handoff.
The current price is not the only decision. The customer information and the work that follows matter more once the free period ends.

One shop for quick checkout and the orders that need more care
A standard item can move straight through checkout. A request can collect the details first, then keep its quote, deposit, balance, and payment status connected to the same sale.
That is a clearer starting point than rebuilding either kind of order from a message.
Build the workflow before you choose. Start your 7-day free trial, then add your products and questions, set a drop schedule, and send yourself a test order. Nothing is charged during the trial. Cancel in two taps.
