BeadBrush vs. Beadographer
Two browser-based designers, two different strengths.
Beadographer has six years in operation, 115,000 projects created, and 12,000 monthly users — a proven, mature tool. BeadBrush is newer, and its edge is designing with the beads you actually own: connect your inventory and design straight from your real stash.

To be fair to Beadographer: it's the more established tool here, with six years in operation, 115,000 projects created, 12,000 monthly users, 15 languages, and a lower annual price than BeadBrush's paid plan. BeadBrush is newer and doesn't yet match that track record — where we differ is inventory-aware design, letting you design with the beads you've actually logged as owning.
