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

MRPeasy

  • Per-user pricing model becomes expensive as team size grows, unlike unlimited-user competitors
  • Complex calculations and unintuitive logic in some features requiring user training and clarification
  • Per-user pricing for API access limited to highest tier ($149/month)
  • Struggles to meet complex workflow needs for advanced planning and scheduling
