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

  • The Internet Archive's capture of NetSuite's ERP product page on 23 December 2020 named distinct sub-products (Financial Management, Financial Planning, Order Management, Procurement, Production Management, Supply Chain Management, Warehouse & Fulfillment) with no price figure published for any.
