A simpler, browser-based alternative to Mozaik — starting at $15/mo, month-to-month.
Mozaik is powerful but heavy — a Windows install, a learning curve, and a 12-month commitment starting at $125/mo. Cabora is the opposite end of the spectrum: the simplest cabinet design tool in the category, running in the browser on any OS, for $15/mo with no annual lock-in. Built for hobbyists, DIYers, solo makers, and small shops.
Mozaik is deep software designed for production shops with CNC integration as a core concern. Cabora is intentionally the simpler choice — for hobbyists, DIYers, solo makers, and small shops focused on layout, costing, and client presentation. We don't replace Mozaik for heavy CNC post-processing. What we offer is something different: a browser-based tool you can be productive in within the first hour, with AI in the design loop, at one-eighth the entry price.

Browser-native.
No install, no Windows requirement, no workstation you have to keep patched.
AI in the design loop.
Copilot, Advisor, and Optimizer are part of the same app — not plugins or a separate subscription.
Month-to-month, not a 12-month contract.
Plans from $15/mo with a 14-day free trial. Cancel any time — no annual commitment, no auto-renewing 12-month term.
When to stay on Mozaik
We want every signup to be a good fit. If any of these describe your shop, Mozaik is probably still the better tool for you:
- Production shops where Mozaik's deep CNC post-processing is the operational core.
- Teams that need parts-library depth and construction-standard customization beyond what a simpler tool offers.
- Shops already committed to a 12-month Mozaik contract with workflows built around it.
- Cabinetmakers who need every Mozaik feature — Cabora is intentionally simpler, and that's the trade-off.
If deep CNC post-processing is the core of your business, Mozaik may stay the better fit. For hobbyists, DIYers, solo makers, designers, and small shops who spend most of their time on layout, costing, and client approval — Cabora is the simpler, faster, cheaper way in.
