Where each one falls short

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

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

Axonaut

  • Base price of EUR 38/month covers only 1 user; every additional user costs EUR 29.99/month more, so team pricing scales linearly with no volume discount tier shown
  • Discounted monthly rates require paying 1, 2 or 3 years upfront in full rather than a recurring discount on monthly billing
