Software that crunches true product costs for you? Indeed. Goodbye, calculator. Sayonara “educated guesses.” Life will never be the same! This is the most robust pricing tool available for makers and product designers, accompanied by wisdom-infused pricing workshops. Price-O-Matic will build your confidence, shift your mindset, and help you finally get control of your business.
Can we get real for a minute?
When I first started my product-based business in 2003, I guessed at my numbers. I didn’t know what it truly cost me to bring a product to market, and I followed the crowd when it came to pricing. I ran promotions and offered volume discounts without knowing if there was actually money left in those deals at the end of the day.
And I lost my ass.
More often than I care to admit, I was spinning my wheels and making less money than I should have been. I was stressed the hell out and missing key opportunities. Until one day when my sweet, brilliant husband eventually asked (ever-so-gently, as partners sometimes do when they want to be helpful but aren’t sure how a suggestion will land) if perhaps he could help. Christopher is an engineer at a major tech firm, which means that numbers and software light him up like a Christmas tree. Now I ask you: Why had that man not proposed to help a few years earlier?
Christopher rolled up his sleeves and got to work, developing a solution which became my secret weapon in building a seven-figure, product-based business. It radically changed the way I operate and it’s become a treasured teammate for thousands of ceramicists, apparel designers, jewelers, stationers, soapmakers, chandlers, specialty food companies, and more.
Price-O-Matic is my cost-tracking, profit-ensuring, price-strategy-defining weapon of mass satisfaction. It’s my go-to-tool for funneling creativity into dollars. For quickly and almost effortlessly determining if a new sales channel is going to drive me mad or help put my kids through college.
And lest you worry that a page full of pricing data will make your eyes cross, think again. The wealth of data created within Price-O-Matic deliciously easy-to-digest. It boasts a beautiful interface, color-coded profitability results, easy-to-read pie charts, and clutter-free screens that enable you to process the information without blowing a circuit.
This is the most robust pricing tool available for makers and product designers. I know the power that it holds to build confidence, shift mindsets, and help you finally get control of your business.
Within the first hour of using it, you’re totally going to want to kiss the developer (who just-so-happens to be my husband). Please don’t, though I’ll be happy to pass along messages of appreciation.
This system has empowered more than 2,500 makers and product designers get control of their business. More than once, creative entrepreneurs have said that they speak about their business in terms of “before Price-O-Matic” and “after Price-O-Matic.” Putting this software into action is a defining moment on their entrepreneurial journey.
Many of us have a knack for product development, because that’s where our passion and innate talent lies. But the business side of things is a bit messier, and we ignore the numbers because we’re not entirely sure how to get a handle on them. As someone who’s enjoyed a peek inside thousands of product-based business, I can tell you this: If you don’t get a handle on those numbers, then it will be impossible to run a profitable venture in the long-term. Regrettably, there’s no amount of good luck that can carry a brand indefinitely.
But that’s where Price-O-Matic comes in: This software simplifies the process of pricing your products with strategy and intention, while planning for the growth of your business and the possibility of adding new distribution methods to the mix.
SAVE TIME: Calculations that once took hours will take just seconds. Product launches are easier and faster. When the cost of one of your raw materials increases, you can tell Price-O-Matic just once, and the software will automatically find and update every finished product which contains that specific raw material. *swoon*
CAPTURE THE FULL VALUE OF YOUR PRODUCTS: If your pricing strategy has focused on formulas you’ve read on blogs or heard in entrepreneurial circles, then your product costs have been in the driver’s seat for too long. They need a seat in the car, but the value that your products deliver to customers should hold the place of honor behind the steering wheel. Price-O-Matic empowers you to pivot to a value-based pricing strategy, so you can charge more and clear healthier profits.
INCREASE ORGANIZATION + MINIMIZE FRUSTRATION: All of your pricing data is centrally stored. Generate reports with a single click. Bid “farewell” to calculators, scrawled notes, and pricing headaches.
BOOST YOUR COMPETITIVE EDGE: You’ll know exactly where you stand with those numbers, enabling you to be nimble and accurate when vetting and negotiating potential deals.
Put yourself in the driver’s seat of your business financials with Price-O-Matic and you’ll enjoy access to all of this goodness:
Imagine discovering your true products and finally understanding how to mint money like a mogul. And you can do it all with a glass of vino in hand, snuggled into your pajamas, with complete confidentiality and for less than a dollar per day.

The majority of makers I’ve talked to vastly underestimate the cost of making their product. Price-O-Matic takes everything into account, and while the initial shock of those costs might necessitate a deep breath (and possibly a stiff drink), the benefits of working those costs into your pricing structure saves you oodles of money down the road. Price-O-Matic helped me to understand why I was barely treading water. It’s a game changer.

Price-O-Matic has not only saved me time and money, it has saved me a lot of gray hairs! It changed the trajectory of my business savings account upward and the stress level way down. Being able to rest knowing I have all the bases covered is a fantastic feeling and the fact that you’ll always get the newest and greatest version makes this purchase a no brainer!

It’s not. Price-O-Matic is the leanest, meanest pricing tool on the market, but it won’t tie into sales platforms, it doesn’t track inventory, and it’s not designed to process non-production related expenses. There are great accounting systems out there already (try: QuickBooks, Wave, and Xero), but I designed Price-O-Matic because there was a serious shortage of pricing tools available for product-based brands. And I’m still confident that none of the pricing systems available today provide the wealth of knowledge and carefully-tailored tools that Price-O-Matic offers makers and product designers.
I take the sensitivity of your information Fort-Knox-serious. Buckle up for on an onslaught of tech speak about the nature of the protections infused into this website…
The Lucky Break site is built on a PA-DSS compliant platform. That means that it’s passed the most rigorous testing imaginable to ensure the secure transmission of credit card data. And that’s not a “one and done” affair. This site is routinely audited by compliance scanning companies like Trustwave, who continually visit and test the site to detect any potential security issues (think: SQL injection, XSS vulnerabilities, outdated software, etc.) Those companies make it their mission to ensure that sites like this one are virtually impenetrable by hackers.
This site’s cloud-based, PCI compliant server is also routinely scanned to ensure that it’s running the most current and secure versions of the core software. This includes a firewall which only allows web traffic through, so there are no security holes which can be exploited.
Rest assured that the data you enter into POM is not visible, editable, or accessible in any way by any member of the Lucky Break team. Any hacking attempt on the administrative end would be futile for two reasons:
a) The system locks out any Lucky Break teammate after three unsuccessful login attempts.
b) Those admins can’t see your data even when they’re logged in.
Also worth noting: All login attempts (both clients and administrators) are logged and monitored. All data is automatically backed up hourly. And the entire site operates over a secure server in https mode.
I told you that we don’t mess around! *wink*
Maybe! Price-O-Matic can display currency in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Euros, and British pounds. If you work in those currencies, then POM will work beautifully for you- no matter where in the world you call “home.” You can easily switch between currencies and update currencies in real-time with the click of a single button to synch current exchange rates as pulled from XE.
I wouldn’t even dream of holding your data hostage! If you’ve ever used cloud-based software and worried about whether or not your information would be eternally locked inside, then please allow me to put your mind at ease: You can export any information out of Price-O-Matic in sixty seconds or less. My team built export functionality into the software and you can take advantage of it whenever you need it. The data is smartly organized and easy to manipulate and re-import, if you so choose.
A computer and an internet connection- that’s it! Price-O-Matic is easiest to navigate on desktops and laptops, but can be used on tablets, too (some of the tables are large, which means that you’ll have a bit more scrolling on a tablet). Though POM will work on a smartphone thanks to its responsive design, I always return to my laptop for ease-of-use.
Price-O-Matic is cloud-based software, which means that it’s universally accessible from anywhere, so long as you have an internet connection. The software works on Macs and PCs and you don’t need any special software to power it.
When it initially launched, Price-O-Matic was offered as a one-time download for a flat fee, rather than a monthly subscription model. After hearing from makers and product designers that were interested in gaining control of their pricing structures without a significant upfront investment or purchasing software they can’t test-drive first, Team Lucky Break transitioned to a new subscription model that puts POM within reach of everyone. At this time, an outright purchase of Price-O-Matic isn’t available, but you can enjoy access for less than a dollar a day.
Faster than you can snap your fingers and wiggle your nose. Seriously. Price-O-Matic is instantly delivered the moment you request it. After reserving a copy here on the Lucky Break website, you can immediately log in and get started. Instant satisfaction is a beautiful thing!
You can cancel at any time and you don’t even need to contact Team Lucky Break to pull the plug. You can manage the subscription from the dashboard of the account you’ll create when you sign up. Once you’ve created an account, simply navigate to the MEMBERSHIPS tab and cancel with the click of a button. I loathe when you have to call someone, hang out on hold for 10 minutes, and then be asked a zillion questions when you want to cancel something. For that reason, we’ve made this blissfully easy!
