Tapputi Lab is the pick if you want everything free with no paywall at all: formulas, raw materials, versioning, weighed batches with deviation tracking and PDF or CSV export with labels, in the browser, funded through vendor affiliate links. Every formula is checked against the 51st Amendment with the contributions of naturals included; it does not state a bundled materials catalog, so you track your own raw materials.
