It is needless to say Cropster has been the leader in the roasting software industry for over a decade.
Cropster has significantly increased its prices in recent years, which led many roasters to search for alternatives.
However, there are significant trade-offs if you end up with Artisan as an alternative. This is one of the main reasons why a large number of Cropster users have started to consider Firescope.
In this article, we will address some of the most-asked questions, including:
Most Cropster users are unable to switch to Artisan. The main reason for this is that Cropster provides a wide range of functionalities that can be performed online.
Like Cropster, Firescope also allows you to store your roasting, coffee, and production data in one workspace, enabling you to search and compare records or access them from other devices.
In Firescope, by creating your coffee with inventory data and linking it with each roasting, you can conveniently track inventory deductions from roasting.
If Firescope has addressed the reasons that prevented you from leaving Cropster, let's now look into where Firescope offers even more advantages.
Cropster not only starts with an expensive base fee starting at $100 a month, but it also adds additional charges based on your production volume.
If your roastery produces 5,000 KG per month, you would have to pay around $300 per month. What's important here is that your subscription cost increases depending on how much more your roastery will produce in the future.
Moreover, Cropster's billing policy means you pay the same amount even if you buy a larger roaster and use Cropster's profiling system less. We have come up with a more fair billing policy.
Firescope provides tiered pricing plans based on the number of batches you roast monthly. The structure where the more you use Firescope, the more you pay (see more on our pricing page)
Naturally, more than 100 roasteries already have chosen Firescope over Cropster. One of our super users shared that they are saving over USD 10K annually. With these savings, you could make more impactful investments in your business.
Firescope focuses on satisfying the roaster's experience. We have improved the following features over Cropster:
Cropster recently unveiled Roasting Intelligence 5, which contains a few features that are already being offered on Firescope. This new addition to Cropster reassured us that Firescope is headed in the right direction to enhance the roasting processes of our users.
Your roasting profile data is the most valuable thing in your roastery. However, if you want to continue storing your data on Cropster, you need to pay a monthly fee. Even if you temporarily close your roastery for personal reasons or move somewhere, you must continue paying Cropster to keep your data. If you cancel your Cropster subscription, your precious data disappears within 3 days.
Firescope understands that such a data policy is an excessive burden on roasters. If you use Firescope, you can subscribe and cancel anytime, and your data will be accessible for a lifetime. If you want to keep your roasting data permanently, consider Firescope. If you've been using Cropster, we'll transfer your data to Firescope for free.
