Buyer's guide · updated October 1, 2026

Best countertop software for granite and quartz shops (2026)

There is no single best countertop software. There is the best one for how your shop sells and builds. A two-truck residential shop that quotes at the kitchen table needs something different from a 40-person fabricator running three CNC saws, and both need something different from a slab distributor that also cuts tops.

This guide sorts the tools granite, quartz and marble fabricators actually use by that job: run the whole shop, draw and price, manage the slab yard, feed the CNC, or just schedule installs.

Disclosure. We make Stone Project, and it is on this list. Every other entry uses only what that vendor publishes on its own website, checked on October 1, 2026. Where another product is the better pick for a shop, the entry says so. Prices change: confirm with the vendor before you buy.

The list

#1

Stone Project

Best for: All-in-one for small and mid-size shops

One app for the commercial side of a countertop shop: leads and CRM, drawings and priced quotes, scheduling and routes, invoices and payments, slab and remnant inventory, and two-way QuickBooks Online sync. The same app runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and the web, and keeps working offline at the job site.

Every plan has the full app. Plans differ only by users and storage, from Solo (1 user) to Enterprise 50.

Price

From $129.99/mo (Solo, 1 user, 12-month promo). Regular $149.99/mo. 3 users $199.99/mo promo.

Trial

14 days, no credit card

Where it wins

  • Quote at the customer's kitchen: draw L, U and island tops, tag edges and cutouts, send a branded PDF the client approves online.
  • One subscription instead of a drawing tool, a scheduler and an inventory product.
  • Public remnant marketplace (remnantfinder.app) included.
  • Published pricing and a 14-day trial with no credit card.
  • CSV import, plus a screenshot importer that rebuilds open quotes from another system.

Watch out for

  • Not a CNC CAM package: it exports DXF, but toolpaths stay in your CAM software.
  • No photo-calibrated slab imaging. If you sell vein matching from slab photos, pair it with Slabsmith.
  • Accounting stays in QuickBooks Online. It is not a stone ERP with its own general ledger.
  • A younger product than Moraware, with a smaller installed base.

#2

Moraware

Best for: Established shops that want the industry default

Moraware sells three connected products: CounterGo for drawing and quoting, Systemize for scheduling and job tracking, and Inventory for slabs. Its site cites 3,000+ shops and more than 20 years in the business, which makes it the name most US fabricators already know.

Published price

CounterGo $100/user/mo; Systemize $120/user/mo (3-user minimum, $50/user after 5); Inventory $50/user/mo (requires Systemize). Billed monthly, no contract, no implementation fee (moraware.com/pricing).

Trial

No trial version — buying starts with a 30-minute call

Where it wins

  • Largest installed base in US countertop shops, so hiring estimators who already know CounterGo is easier.
  • Systemize scheduling and digital job packets are deep and shop-proven.
  • You can buy one product without the others.

Watch out for

  • No trial version; buying starts with a sales call.
  • Priced per product and per user, and Systemize has a 3-user minimum, so the suite grows with headcount.
  • Quoting, scheduling and inventory are separate products to stack.
  • No public remnant marketplace.

#3

ActionFlow

Best for: Windows-based shops that want a low-cost start

ActionFlow has sold countertop shop software since 2011: quoting, scheduling, slab inventory and payments in a Windows app with cloud data. Spring is the entry package; Process and Performance add the full workflow, each with a published price and an implementation fee.

Published price

Spring from $149/mo ($99/mo for the first 3 months), first user included, $49/mo per added user. Process $299/mo + $74 per added user + $3,000 implementation. Performance $499/mo + $99 per added user + $4,500 implementation. US prices on actionflow.net.

Trial

Spring: 14-day free trial. Process and Performance: through sales.

Where it wins

  • Spring is a published, no-contract price with a 14-day trial.
  • Home Depot and Slabsmith integrations on the Process and Performance packages.

Watch out for

  • Spring's own FAQ describes it as a Windows program (Mac users run it in Parallels).
  • No public remnant marketplace.

#4

SlabWare

Best for: Inventory-first fabricators and slab yards

SlabWare starts from the yard: slabs, labels, drawings and estimates tied to inventory, plus an app and job scheduling. It comes in fabricator, distributor and exporter flavors, with one published fabricator price.

Published price

US$ 249/month fabricator (up to 5 users) on slabware.com. Extra user $35/mo. QuickBooks $69/mo add-on. Yearly US$ 2,690 listed.

Trial

15-day free trial, no card — starts after a booked call

Where it wins

  • Container, packing-list and exporter workflow is the product, not an add-on.
  • Simple published math: one price covers up to five users.
  • Support in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Watch out for

  • QuickBooks is a paid add-on ($69/month, online version only).
  • CRM and a client approval portal are not the focus.

#5

SlabWise

Best for: Shops whose bottleneck is nesting yield and DXF files

SlabWise leads with AI slab nesting, template and DXF checks, and the handoff to production, with quoting built on top. All three plans are published, and any plan starts at $1 for the first 14 days.

Published price

Starter $99/mo, Pro $299/mo, Enterprise $799/mo (3 / 5 / unlimited seats, extra seats $20/mo). Nesting optimizer from Pro. $1 for the first 14 days on any plan (slabwise.com/pricing).

Trial

$1 for the first 14 days, any plan

Where it wins

  • If waste per slab and DXF cleanup are what cost you money, that is their core.
  • Published prices from $99/month.

Watch out for

  • The nesting optimizer starts at the Pro plan ($299/month).
  • The commercial side (CRM, QuickBooks) is not the headline.
  • No public remnant marketplace.

#6

iCounterSoft

Best for: The lowest-cost self-serve draw-to-quote tool in a browser

iCounterSoft is browser-based countertop drawing and quoting: click-and-drag tops in inches or millimeters with edges, cutouts and splashes, priced from your own price lists, then slab layout, vein matching, invoice and payment, with a built-in CRM. The Professional plan adds DXF import, crew scheduling and QuickBooks Online or Xero sync.

Published price

Standard $70/mo, Professional $149/mo (1 user each); extra users $39/mo. Month to month, no setup fee (icountersoft.com/pricing).

14 days; a card is required to start

Where it wins

Watch out for

  • Their homepage lists nesting, 3D rendering, job costing and inventory/remnants as in development.
  • Browser only, and the trial needs a card.

#7

Easy Stone Shop

Best for: Budget quoting, with shop-floor modules to grow into

Easy Stone Shop is a web app sold in tiers. Easy Quote draws and quotes from saved templates with edges, cutouts and sinks, automatic slab layout and vein matching; Easy Job adds scheduling with map, calendar and timeline views; Easy Shop adds barcode inventory, remnants and production monitoring. It is not EasySTONE, the DDX CAM software.

No trial listed: request a demo or buy

Where it wins

#8

Stonify

Best for: Larger shops that want an ERP with drawing seats

Stonify is a stone-industry ERP with a public price builder: a monthly base, then different prices for standard, drawing and lite (field) users. A Drawing Only plan sells the drawing tool alone, per user.

Published price

$500/month base (includes $500 seat credit), then $50 / $75 / $35 per user type. Drawing Only plan $100/user/month, no base fee. Add-ons $50–$100/month (QuickBooks $75). Published on stonify.io.

Trial

Demo

Where it wins

  • Seat types that match a larger shop's org chart.
  • A public calculator instead of a sales call.

Watch out for

  • The $500/month base is a high floor for a two- or three-person shop.
  • Accounting moves into their ERP instead of staying in QuickBooks.

#9

Stone Profit Systems

Best for: Slab distributors that also fabricate

Stone Profit Systems is an ERP for stone, tile and quartz: inventory, consignment, purchasing, quotes, scheduling and accounting, with distributor, fabricator and manufacturer editions.

Published price

Not published on stoneprofits.com. Demo required. Third-party directories quote a wide range; treat those as unverified.

Trial

Demo — no self-serve trial advertised

Where it wins

  • Real ERP depth: consignment payables, landed cost, multi-warehouse accounting.
  • Barcode, bin and consignment workflows for a yard that sells slabs.

Watch out for

  • No published price; it is sold through a demo and an implementation.
  • More system than a small residential shop needs.

#10

Slabsmith

Best for: Vein matching on photographed slabs (an add-on, not a CRM)

Slabsmith turns slab photos into dimension-accurate Digital Slabs, then Perfect Match lays templates on those photos. It does not quote, schedule or invoice, so most shops run it next to their shop software.

Published price

Basic Bundle for fabricators $15,000 USD; Slab Maker module alone (distributors) $11,000 USD. One-time purchase with the first year of maintenance; after that, 10% of current retail per year (slabsmith.com).

Trial

Not a SaaS trial — vendor / hardware sale

Where it wins

  • Nothing in a shop app replaces a calibrated photo station for 'this is your slab' layouts.
  • Layouts can go on toward the CNC.

Watch out for

  • Not a CRM, scheduler or invoicing tool.
  • A one-time license ($15,000 for the fabricator bundle) plus a photo station, not a monthly subscription.

#11

QuoteIQ

Best for: Install-focused businesses that want a cheap mobile CRM

QuoteIQ is a home-service CRM with a countertop page: AI quotes priced per square foot with edge and cutout add-ons, satellite measuring and online self-booking, on web, iOS and Android. It does not claim a countertop drawing, slab layout or nesting tool.

Trial

14 days; a card is required to start

Where it wins

  • Low entry price ($29.99/month) with mobile apps and online payments.
  • AI call answering and consumer financing, which most stone tools do not offer.

Watch out for

  • No countertop drawing or slab layout, so the shop drawing lives somewhere else.
  • QuickBooks starts at Pro ($149.99/month) and the InstaQuote self-quote form at Elite ($299/month).

#12

Jobber / Housecall Pro

Best for: Install-only crews that never draw a top

Jobber Core $29/mo for 1 user billed annually ($49 with no commitment). Housecall Pro Basic $59/mo billed annually ($79 monthly). Both publish larger team plans (getjobber.com/pricing, housecallpro.com/pricing).

Where it wins

  • Mature mobile apps, online booking and payments.

Jobber pricingHousecall Pro pricing

How to choose, by shop

1 to 5 people, mostly residential

The owner measures, quotes and chases payments. You need a quote you can send from the driveway, follow-ups that happen without you, and one place for the job. Start with an all-in-one app and a published price.

10 to 50 people, several departments

Sales, templating, the saw and install crews all touch the job. Scheduling depth, job packets and permissions by role matter more than the quote screen.

CNC-heavy production

Yield per slab and clean DXF files pay for themselves. Look at nesting tools and your machine's CAM software, and keep the shop app for the commercial side.

You sell slabs too

If the yard is the business, inventory and accounting come first: slab yard software or a stone ERP.

What countertop software should do

Whatever you pick, run one real job through the trial and check these:

On a lot of lists, but a different job

CNC CAD/CAM such as EasySTONE generates toolpaths for the saw or router. Shop software exports the DXF; the CAM package drives the machine. Most CNC shops need both.

Manufacturing job systems such as ShopPAK cost make-to-order production well, but they do not price square feet, edges and cutouts.

Generic project management (Asana, monday.com) and construction suites (Buildertrend) show up on auto-generated "best of" lists. They track tasks; none of them draws a countertop or prices a slab.

How we built this list

There are no scores here. The list starts with the tools that cover the most of a countertop job and moves toward the specialists, and each entry says which shop it fits. We did not invent ratings, and we do not quote prices from review sites or competitors' blogs: a number appears only when the vendor publishes it on its own site, and "quote" means it does not.

Stone Project is first because it is the product we build and the one we can describe from the inside. The other entries say where each product is the better fit, including where it beats us.

Questions

What is the best software for a countertop fabrication business?

For most small and mid-size granite and quartz shops that want quotes, jobs, remnants and invoicing in one app, Stone Project. For a shop already trained on it, Moraware (CounterGo plus Systemize). For nesting yield and CNC files, SlabWise. For an inventory-first yard, SlabWare. For a distributor that also fabricates, Stone Profit Systems.

How much does countertop software cost in 2026?

Published prices on vendor sites in October 2026: Stone Project from $129.99/month with every module (12-month promo, $149.99 regular); Moraware CounterGo $100 and Systemize $120 per user per month (Systemize has a 3-user minimum); Spring by ActionFlow from $149/month, Process $299 and Performance $499 plus implementation fees; SlabWise $99 to $799/month; SlabWare $249/month for up to five users; iCounterSoft from $70/month; Easy Stone Shop's Easy Quote $50/month; Stonify from a $500/month base plus seats, or $100 per user for drawing only. Stone Profit Systems does not publish prices. Slabsmith's fabricator bundle is $15,000 one-time. Install-focused CRMs such as QuoteIQ start at $29.99/month.

Is there free countertop fabrication software?

Not for running a shop. The dedicated tools are paid, and most let you try first: Stone Project gives 14 days with no credit card, Spring by ActionFlow 14 days, iCounterSoft 14 days (card required), SlabWare 15 days after a booked call, and SlabWise charges $1 for its first 14 days. Moraware has no trial version. Free CAD programs can draw a top, but they do not price edges, cutouts or slabs.

What software do granite fabricators use?

Usually a stack: a quoting and drawing tool, a scheduler, slab inventory, CNC CAM and QuickBooks. All-in-one apps such as Stone Project fold the first three into one subscription; CAM stays separate in most shops.

Do I still need CAD/CAM if I buy shop software?

If you run a CNC, yes. Shop software produces the drawing and the DXF; CAM software such as EasySTONE or your machine maker's package turns it into toolpaths.

Can I switch countertop software without retyping open jobs?

Into Stone Project, clients and price lists come in by CSV, and the screenshot importer reads a quote screen from your old system and rebuilds the client, priced lines and drawing for you to review.
