Why not just use a spreadsheet?

Excel works — until your formula has 30 ingredients, three supplier quotes, and someone accidentally deletes a formula.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

Why not just use Excel?

Excel works until it doesn't. Formulas break when ingredients change, COGS calculations have to be rebuilt for every new product, and sharing a spreadsheet with a supplier or co-founder always ends in a mess. Formico is purpose-built for formulated products — every calculation is already wired up, supplier pricing imports in one click, and your data is always there when you log in.

Is my formula data private?

Completely. Every formula is locked to your account. Nothing is shared, indexed, or visible to other users — or to us. Your intellectual property stays yours.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Formico runs entirely in your browser. Sign up, log in, and start building — no downloads, no setup, no IT department required.

What's included in the Free plan?

The free plan gives you 1 formula with full access to the COGS calculator, ingredient library, supplier Excel import, CAS number tracking, and formula notes. It's fully functional — not a trial. Upgrade to Pro when you need unlimited formulas, AI suggestions, and PDF export.

Can I cancel Pro anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your account page at any time. You keep Pro access until the end of your current billing period — no lock-in, no cancellation fees.

What currencies and units does Formico support?

Pricing is calculated in Australian Dollars (AUD). Dose units include mg, g, kg, oz, and lb. Cost units include per kg, per g, per lb, and per oz — switch between them at any time without re-entering data.
