EEganizer alternative
EEganizer is a good design file organizer. It takes the mess of USB drives, download folders, and ZIP bundles and turns it into a searchable library with automatic thumbnails for 45+ embroidery formats. Plans run $9.99 to $29.99 a month based on storage, and every plan can share a browse-only library link with your customers.
If you sell machine embroidery, that last part is where it stops short. A customer browsing your EEganizer library sees thumbnails. When they find something they want, the next step is messaging you — and now you're back to the back-and-forth that eats your evenings: what size, what garment, what thread colors, what name, how do you want to pay.
Broidry starts where the organizer stops. Your design library lives inside your shop, and every design in it is orderable. A customer picks the design, Broidry already knows its true stitched size from the machine file and blocks garments it won't fit, with a plain sentence explaining why. They type their name and see it rendered in your actual stitch fonts. They pay. You get a complete order instead of a conversation.
Broidry opens the machine file itself. For PES, DST, JEF, EXP, VP3, and HUS files it reads the real stitch count, the true stitched size in inches, and the color changes — the numbers you price and plan with. Upload a vendor ZIP and the same design in six formats becomes one design, named cleanly, with its files kept together.
EEganizer generates preview thumbnails for more formats than we do — 45+ against Broidry's stitch-drawn previews, which come from PES files, with vendor images covering designs your ZIP included pictures for. If your stash leans on rarer formats and all you want is to see them, that breadth is a real advantage, and it belongs to them today. Their site markets thumbnails and organization; reading the stitch data itself — counts, true sizes, color changes — is not among their published features, and it is the center of ours.

You run a machine embroidery business, and every message that starts with “do you still have that one design” is time you're not stitching. Broidry is order management with the library built in: designs, fonts, and thread colors your customers choose from, quotes built on real stitch counts, payment before you stitch, and a schedule that knows what's paid.
The designs you sell from, yes. EEganizer describes a bulk export when you cancel; download your files, then upload them to Broidry in batches, and ZIPs and mixed folders sort themselves into designs automatically. Be honest with yourself about scale here: Broidry holds the library you actually offer and stitch — up to 5,000 designs — not a 100,000-file archive. If your EEganizer account is an archive that size, keep the archive backed up wherever you like and bring the working collection into Broidry.
No. Customers see previews and can order; the machine files never leave your account.
The free plan is free with no time limit — it covers 15 orders a month, with a 2% fee on payments taken through Broidry. Paid plans are $19 (Maker), $39 (Shop), and $79 (Atelier) a month. No storage tiers.
Broidry is order-management software for machine embroidery shops. Your designs, threads, and fonts live in one searchable library. Orders from Etsy, Facebook, text, and email land on one list with a price and a due date, and the customer approves the piece before you stitch it. The Free plan is $0 a month, there's no credit card to start, and there's no contract.
