Nice features overall but a lot are behind expensive add-ons and pricing can change all of a sudden substantially. We got blindsided at the beginning of this year and are looking for other solutions.
We started using Katana just over two years ago and have been happy with the software. There are some bugs and some features that can be improved but overall it has been a big help.
We had the starter subscription at $99 with the Shop floor add-on at $199 per month. In February Katana ramped up the subscription fees and forced us into the higher subscription to be able to continue using the Shop floor add-on. We went from $349/month to now $598/month.
If you want to mark the location of a pallet with a bin number that is now another $199/month on top the other cost.
We have a lot of products invested a huge amount of time getting it setup so I really don't want to move. We are in the busy time of year so I don't have the time to invest in switching apps but I am definitely keeping my eye out for another options.

I really liked this software put they raised the price and my business can no longer afford it. They charge based on the number of line items you sell every month.. not how many orders you have per month. So, if you have les than 5 SKU this might work for you. Our top selling bundle has 7 line items. We have almost 25 SKU at any given time. This software is way over priced for small businesses with multiple SKU. Its very user friendly though. I'm so sad we can no longer use it.
Thank you and we're taking your feedback regarding QB into account!
Every time I install they jumble up all of my inventory, in some cases add 20+ items to 300 different skus! what a headache.
Sorry to hear about your experience setting up the integration, it's no doubt frustrating to have all your inventory jumbled up!
We're not sure what exactly happened in your case. On initial integration, please follow the guide shown here:

The integration is powerful and can make syncs both ways, so be sure on what you select/deselect on initial integration — you can always empower more options later!
Our support team would also love to help out troubleshooting too, reach out to us in-app or via support@katanamrp.com
