Both support real bakery orders
BakeBug is not just a storefront. Its current public materials describe quotes, payment schedules, custom products, manual orders, Square payments, cash or other payment methods, packing slips, and calendar tools.
Confita takes a different starting point: the shop link and the information customers provide before you quote. The right choice depends on whether you want a broader order dashboard or a more structured custom-order intake flow.
Both handle orders. The workflow is different.
Both tools give your customers a browser link. Here is where they split:
| Confita | BakeBug | |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 price | Free setup; Pro starts when ready to publish | Free through Dec. 31 for eligible early signups |
| 2027 monthly price | $4.99/month | $4.99/month announced |
| 2027 annual price | $39/year | $49.90/year announced |
| Customer ordering | browser link | browser link |
| Seller access | phone, tablet, or computer | web storefront and dashboard |
| Product questions | custom products and quotes | |
| Reference photo uploads | built into the product flow | not listed publicly |
| Quotes and payment schedules | private quote link with deposit, instructions, and receipt upload | quote editor and payment schedules |
| Payment methods | your payment instructions, such as a card-payment link, bank transfer, or cash | Square or cash/other payment methods |
| Weekly drops and limits | drops, cutoffs, schedules, and capacity limits | calendar availability |
| Storefront design | full editor with live preview | branded storefront, logo, and colors |
| Packing slips | not the focus | included |
| SMS reminders | not included | paid add-on in the US and Canada |
| English and Spanish storefronts | not clearly listed |
Feature and price details checked July 10, 2026. BakeBug’s 2026 free period and 2027 prices depend on signup timing and its published terms. Confirm current conditions before subscribing.
More design control, without giving up the order workflow
BakeBug gives you a branded storefront with your logo and colors. Confita goes further on visual control: themes, colors, covers, fonts, banners, stickers, and entrance animations in a live editor.
If the shop itself is part of your brand, Confita gives you more room to shape it. You can build from any phone, tablet, or computer, then start Pro only when you are ready to publish.
Both support custom orders. Confita asks earlier.
BakeBug supports custom products, quotes, and payment schedules. Confita’s difference is where the questions live: each product can ask for the date, servings, flavors, allergies, and reference photo before you quote.
That gives you a clearer request before the conversation moves to price. The customer answers once, and you can review the details from any device before sending the quote.
Two quote workflows, different handoffs
With Confita, you reply with one private link containing the quoted price, deposit, remaining balance, payment instructions, and receipt upload.
BakeBug also supports quotes and payment schedules, with payments handled through Square or cash and other outside-platform methods. Choose based on which quote handoff feels closer to your week.
The 2026 free period is a real advantage
BakeBug is genuinely hard to beat if your priority is spending $0 on software this year. Eligible signups before December 1, 2026 can use it free through December 31. Signups after that date enter a 30-day trial.
From 2027, compare the annual plans too: Confita lists $39/year, while BakeBug lists $49.90/year. If you are choosing during the free period, compare the workflow you want to keep once the promotion ends.
Choose BakeBug if the dashboard is the point
Choose BakeBug if you want the free 2026 period, a broader order-management dashboard, Square payments, quote management, packing slips, and calendar tools.
- You want to spend $0 through the end of 2026.
- You already use Square.
- You need quotes and payment schedules.
- Packing slips and order management matter.
- You prefer one broader bakery dashboard.
Choose Confita if the storefront and intake are the point
Choose Confita if your work starts with a shop link and custom details: questions, reference photos, quotes, deposits, weekly drops, and a storefront you can design yourself.
- You need product-level questions and reference photos.
- You want to work from any phone, tablet, or computer.
- You want full storefront design control.
- You sell in Spanish and English.
- You want the lower annual price from 2027 onward.
Build the workflow before you choose
Create your products, add your questions, set a drop schedule, and send yourself a test order. Start the Pro trial only when you are ready to publish.

What changes in 2027?
BakeBug lists $4.99/month or $49.90/year beginning January 1, 2027. Confita is $4.99/month or $39/year, so Confita is currently lower on annual pricing.
Does BakeBug support custom orders?
Yes. BakeBug documents custom products, quotes, and payment schedules. Confita’s difference is the product-level intake: questions and reference photos arrive before the quote.
Does BakeBug use Square?
BakeBug supports Square for integrated card payments and also supports cash or other outside-platform methods. The payment processor handles the card transaction.
Which is better for weekly drops?
Confita is the stronger fit if you need product limits, cutoffs, pickup windows, and a drop-specific order flow. BakeBug is a better fit if calendar availability and broader order management matter more.
