Katana alternatives

The best Katana alternatives for small teams.

Katana suits growing manufacturers; Sortly suits simple item tracking. If you need something in between — real BOMs without a full MRP — here's what to compare.

Why people look for a Katana alternative

  • A full MRP feels like more setup and cost than a small team needs.
  • They need parts lists and production, which simple item trackers don't cover well.
  • They want sub-assemblies with their own stock and alerts.
  • They want a straightforward per-user monthly price.
