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

Oracle ERP Cloud

  • Every UK G-Cloud listing for Oracle ERP Cloud is an implementation or consulting service from a partner such as PwC, Wipro or Goaco, with no supplier published per unit licence price on G-Cloud, AWS Marketplace or GSA
