Looking for a Mozaik Alternative? Here’s How CabinetCalc Compares.
Mozaik costs $125/mo, runs only on Windows, and requires you to design cabinets inside the software before generating a cut list. CabinetCalc costs $39/mo, runs on any device including Mac, and generates cut lists directly from finished dimensions.
The key differences
Platform: Mac vs Windows-only
CabinetCalc is browser-based and runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Windows — no install required. Mozaik is Windows-only and requires a dedicated PC. If your shop runs on a MacBook or you want to pull up jobs from an iPad on site, Mozaik is not an option.
Price: $39/mo vs $125/mo + hardware
CabinetCalc starts at $39/mo with no hardware requirement. Mozaik starts at $125/mo plus the cost of a Windows PC capable of running it. The total cost of ownership difference is significant for a small custom shop.
Workflow: dimensions-first vs design-first
CabinetCalc generates a complete cut list from finished dimensions in seconds. Mozaik requires you to design the cabinet inside the software — placing components, setting up the design environment — before producing any output. For shops that know what they're building and just need the cut list fast, CabinetCalc is significantly faster.
Lock-in: what happens when you cancel
Mozaik has a widely-reported data lock-in issue: when users cancel their subscription, access to their jobs is suspended and retrieving files typically requires paying a separate retrieval fee. This is documented across multiple cabinet-maker forums and communities. CabinetCalc does not lock your data — your jobs are accessible and exportable regardless of subscription status.
Who Mozaik is better for
Mozaik is a strong choice for production shops with active CNC equipment who need G-code output directly from their cabinet software and are already committed to a Windows workflow. If CNC integration is your primary need and you’re set up on Windows, Mozaik’s CNC output pipeline is robust.
Who CabinetCalc is better for
CabinetCalc is the better fit for custom cabinet shops on Mac or any device who need fast, accurate cut lists and material takeoffs without CNC output. If you build custom cabinets by hand or with conventional machinery, work on a Mac or tablet, or want to start estimating and cutting faster without a software design step, CabinetCalc is built for your workflow.
