A storefront you can shape without paying for Premium
Confita includes its full design studio in the base paid plan: colors, cover image, fonts, banners, stickers, and entrance animations. Bakesy offers storefront customization too, with additional themes and style controls listed under Premium.
If the look of your shop matters, Confita gives you more control before the higher tier. You can build the shop on any device, then start Pro only when you are ready to publish.
Custom-order details arrive with the request
Add questions for the date, servings, flavor, allergies, and inspiration photos. Confita collects those details inside the product flow, then lets you turn the request into a private quote link with a deposit and payment instructions.
Bakesy also supports custom questions and inspiration photos. Confita’s difference is the quote-first workflow that follows, with the same shop and seller tools available from any phone, tablet, or computer.
From custom request to paid deposit
Send one private link with the quoted price, deposit, remaining balance, payment instructions, and receipt upload. Customers pay you directly, using the method you choose.
Confita never holds your money and adds no commission. Bakesy offers invoices and payment links too; its optional Secure Payments flow lists a separate card-processing fee.
Where Bakesy genuinely wins
Bakesy is a mature bakery app, and its strengths are real: inventory, revenue reporting, calendar sync, notifications, order entry, and instant checkout. If you want to run the business mainly from your phone, Bakesy may justify the higher monthly price.
The tradeoff is the monthly subscription and, if you use Bakesy Secure Payments, its separate 3.9% + $0.30 card-processing fee for US sellers. Confita is the simpler fit when the shop link, custom orders, quotes, deposits, and weekly drops matter more than a dedicated seller app.

Frequently asked questions
Is Confita cheaper than Bakesy?
Yes. Confita is $4.99/month or $39/year. Bakesy publicly lists Standard at $9.99/month and Premium at $17.99/month. Compare the monthly subscription separately from payment-processing fees.
What does Bakesy charge for card payments?
Bakesy Secure Payments is optional and currently lists 3.9% + $0.30 per US card transaction. Bakesy also documents out-of-app payment methods such as Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and cash. Confirm current payment terms before subscribing.
Do customers need to download an app to order?
Not with either tool. Customers open a browser link. Confita also works for sellers on any phone, tablet, or computer; Bakesy is managed primarily through its mobile app.
Which is better for custom cakes?
Both support custom questions and inspiration photos. Confita is the better fit if you want the request to continue into a private quote, deposit, payment-instructions, and receipt flow. Bakesy is the better fit if you want custom requests inside its broader seller app.
Can I test Confita before switching from Bakesy?
Yes. Build the shop, add your products and questions, and send yourself a test order for free. Start the Pro trial only when you are ready to publish, then move your bio link when the flow feels right.
Is Bakesy worth it for a home bakery?
For many bakers, yes. Bakesy makes sense if you want a dedicated seller app with inventory, reporting, calendar, notifications, and instant checkout. Confita is the better fit if your business lives in a shop link and custom quote workflow.
