Odoo Pricing Guide
How Much Does Odoo ERP Really Cost?
If you’re considering Odoo for your business, this is the first question you’ll ask. The answer isn’t one-size-fits-all — and we’ll walk you through every component clearly and honestly.
Total Odoo Cost =
Licence & Hosting + Implementation & Support
Part 1 — Licence & Hosting Costs
Odoo Licence & Hosting Costs
When planning your Odoo ERP budget, the first recurring cost to understand is software licensing and the hosting model you choose. These are predictable, subscription-based expenses you’ll pay every year.
User-Based Licence Pricing
Odoo follows a per-user subscription model, which means you pay a fixed fee for each person accessing the system. The key advantage: activating additional modules does not increase your per-user cost. Whether a user works in CRM, Inventory, Accounting, or all three simultaneously, the price stays the same.
This approach makes Odoo genuinely budget-friendly for growing businesses — start small with the modules you need today and expand your usage as your business scales, without any licence surprises.
Regional Pricing Differences
Odoo’s licence pricing is region-sensitive, not a single flat global rate. Understanding these differences helps you budget accurately based on where your business operates:
- EU & North America: Typically positioned at a premium tier, reflecting higher support standards and local compliance requirements.
- Tier-2 & Developing Markets (e.g., India, Southeast Asia): More cost-effective while delivering the full Odoo feature set.
- Other Markets: Pricing adjusts to local market conditions and currency differences.
Pro Tip: Odoo Online’s “1 App Free” plan allows unlimited users to access any single Odoo application at no cost — a great way for startups to explore Odoo before committing to a paid plan. Learn more about Odoo editions →
Recurring Hosting Costs
Beyond the user licence, your hosting choice is the second recurring cost to plan for. Odoo gives you three deployment paths, each with a different cost and maintenance profile.
SaaS / Cloud
Odoo Online
The simplest option. Hosting is included in your Enterprise licence at no extra charge. Odoo manages all infrastructure, backups, and security. Ideal for businesses that want zero server overhead.
Extra hosting cost: None
Developer / Cloud
Odoo.sh
Odoo’s developer-friendly cloud platform. Supports custom modules, GitHub integration, staging environments, and automated testing. Involves ongoing monthly fees for storage and development environments.
Extra hosting cost: Monthly, based on usage
On-Premise / Self-Hosted
Self-Hosting
Full control using your own servers or a cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP). Best for compliance-heavy environments. Requires in-house IT resources for backups, monitoring, and upgrades.
Extra hosting cost: Your own server + IT overhead
Note: Odoo.sh and self-hosted deployments carry recurring server costs including backups and monitoring. Factor these into your annual budget alongside the user licence from day one. See our implementation guide →
Part 2 — Implementation Costs
Odoo Implementation Costs — The Real Investment
While Odoo licences are predictable, implementation is where the real ROI happens. Configuring Odoo to match your workflows, integrate with your existing systems, and train your team requires strategic planning and experienced consultants.
Factors Affecting Implementation Costs
🏢
Company Size & Complexity
More users, departments, and workflows mean more configuration, testing, and training hours.
🧩
Number of Modules
Each module (Sales, Manufacturing, HR, Accounting) requires its own setup, data mapping, and user training.
🗄️
Data Migration
Moving data from legacy ERP, spreadsheets, or accounting software involves cleaning, mapping, validation, and testing.
🔗
Third-Party Integrations
Connecting Odoo to your e-commerce platform, payment gateway, logistics provider, or existing software adds development scope and testing time.
🎓
Training & Change Management
End-user training and organisational change management are often underestimated but absolutely critical to go-live success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about Odoo pricing and our engagement models.
Odoo uses a per-user subscription model. You pay a fixed monthly fee per user accessing the backend, and that single licence unlocks all Odoo applications. Activating more modules does not increase your cost. Total deployment cost includes the licence, hosting, implementation, and ongoing support.
Yes. Odoo Online offers a permanent “1 App Free” plan that lets unlimited users access any single Odoo application at no cost — a great way for startups to explore Odoo before committing. Odoo Community Edition is also completely free and open-source, though you bear the cost of your own hosting and IT maintenance.
Odoo Online is ideal if you want zero infrastructure overhead — hosting is included in the licence. Odoo.sh suits businesses needing custom modules with a managed cloud environment. Self-Hosting (on-premise or VPS) works best for organisations with in-house IT teams needing full control or with strict data residency requirements. During our free discovery session we’ll recommend the right fit for your situation.
QuickStart is a pre-purchased hourly pack (25, 50, 100, or 200 hours) suited for smaller or pilot projects where scope may evolve. You use hours flexibly across consulting, configuration, and light development. Fixed-Cost is a project-based model with a fully agreed scope, milestone execution, UAT, and end-user training at a fixed price — ideal for medium-to-high complexity rollouts where clear delivery accountability matters.
It depends heavily on scope. A small business deploying 1–2 modules with our QuickStart pack can go live in a few weeks. A mid-to-large company deploying Manufacturing, HR, multi-company, and custom integrations typically spans 3–6 months with phased delivery. We’ll map out a realistic timeline during your free discovery session.
Yes. We offer dedicated post-go-live support through annual maintenance contracts and retainers covering bug fixes, user queries, process optimisation, version upgrades, and ongoing training. We treat go-live as the beginning of a long-term partnership, not the end of a project.
Absolutely. We have deep expertise in configuring Odoo for Indian regulatory requirements including GST, e-invoicing (IRN and QR code generation), TDS/TCS, India payroll, and multi-state operations. We ensure your Odoo instance is fully compliant from day one.
