STOA's verdictRating 5.8 out of 10
Katana is a great fit if you run a small manufacturing or product-based business and need to track materials, production, and inventory in one place.
The visual production planning board makes it easy to see what's being built and what materials you have on hand — but at $179/month to start, it's a real budget commitment for a tiny operation. If you're still managing production in spreadsheets and it's causing headaches, Katana is worth a serious look.
