Odoo Odoo is free for two users, when hosted online, but it jumps up after that. However, if you install and maintain the software in house, Odoo is totally free. If you are managing a system that doesn’t get

touched by many people, Odoo online might be perfect. The ERP software covers all the standard warehousing, manufacturing, and sales channels. Odoo’s distinction is that the whole system revolves around a series of apps.

You can bolt on access to apps for a monthly fee that help you build a website, install ecommerce portals, run a CRM, and on and on. The benefit of this system is you don’t end up running a bloated system when you could be running a slim setup.

Odoo’s obvious downside is the limitation on users or the need to have a skilled technical team in house. Luckily, adding online users beyond the first two isn’t prohibitively expensive. With its scaled approach to users and features, Odoo provides a solution that can grow with your business.
