Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bling

  • Entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage
  • The top Elite tier is priced only by custom quote rather than a published figure, unlike the three tiers below it

Katana MRP

  • The free plan caps SKUs at 30 after a 15 day unlimited period
  • The Core plan starts at $299 a month and includes one location, with more sold as a usage based add on
  • Core is billed per sales order delivered on top of the base price, so cost tracks throughput
  • Manufacturing management, traceability and warehouse management are separate add ons at $199, $249 and $149 a month
  • A full manufacturing setup therefore stacks to well above the headline $299
