Comparisons
How Brewgravity compares
Side-by-side comparisons with the software most homebrewers use. Each one says where the other tool wins.
vs Brewfather
Brewfather's free tier is capped and the real product is a subscription; Brewgravity's free plan is uncapped.
vs BeerSmith
BeerSmith is a paid desktop program; Brewgravity runs in the browser with a free plan that has no recipe cap.
vs Brewer's Friend
Brewer's Friend caps recipes on its free tier and puts the rest behind a subscription; Brewgravity's free plan is uncapped.
vs ProMash
ProMash is unmaintained Windows shareware; Brewgravity runs in any browser and is actively developed.
The short version
Brewfather is the best-built of the paid options and unmatched for brewing hardware. BeerSmith is the deepest and costs the most. Brewer’s Friend has the biggest recipe database and caps its free tier. ProMash is no longer maintained. Brewgravity is free with no recipe cap, nothing to install, and BeerXML in and out so trying it commits you to nothing.
