Which to choose

Cropster

Choose Cropster if you fit its listed audience: Coffee roasteries; Roasters supplying wholesale and grocery customers; Cafe chains with espresso machines.

RoasterTools

Choose RoasterTools if you are in one of these groups: Wholesale coffee roasteries replacing spreadsheets; Roasters selling through ecommerce and subscriptions; Roasters with complex blends and private-label products.

Less suited to: Businesses that are not coffee roasters. The product, pricing (by pounds roasted) and features are all built around roasting.

Rostoc

Choose Rostoc if your business matches one of the audiences it is listed for: Small and mid-size coffee roasteries; Roasters who want machine-connected logging.

Less suited to: Roasteries that need an enterprise production system. The FAQ says Rostoc is not one, and support depends on the exact roaster model.
