About Katana Cloud Inventory

Katana is a manufacturing-first inventory platform aimed at DTC brands and product makers, with strong BOM, production scheduling, and Shopify/WooCommerce sync. The Core plan is USD $299/mo per location with unlimited users, but real cost depends heavily on add-ons: Manufacturing (USD $199), Traceability (USD $249), and Warehouse (USD $149) modules can push monthly cost to USD $747-$1,095. A free plan exists with 30 SKUs but is intentionally limited. Note: Katana annual billing is more expensive than monthly, not cheaper.

Katana Cloud Inventory was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia.
