Cin7 vs Katana
How Cin7 and Katana compare on Index Score, pricing and platform coverage.
Cin7 and Katana solve overlapping problems from different angles. Cin7 leans into strong native ecommerce and marketplace integrations; Katana into native, direct integrations with shopify, woocommerce, bigcommerce and amazon.
The short version.
On our benchmark Cin7 takes the higher Index Score (82 to 78) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.
On platforms, Cin7 is wider — 5 of 6 versus 4. If the platform your store runs on isn't covered, the rest barely matters.
On price, Katana starts lower — from $299/mo against from $349/mo — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in what each one includes for the money.
So Cin7 suits smb/mid-market teams; Katana leans toward smb/mid-market/startup.
