In this paper, we study the problem of maximizing $k$-submodular functions subject to a knapsack constraint. For monotone objective functions, we present a $\frac{1}{2}(1-e^{-2})\approx 0.432$ greedy approximation algorithm. For the non-monotone case, we are the first to consider the knapsack problem and provide a greedy-type combinatorial algorithm with approximation ratio $\frac{1}{3}(1-e^{-3})\approx 0.317$.
