Odoo sells its whole catalogue of business apps on one per-user subscription, and its Custom plan can run on Odoo’s cloud, on Odoo.sh or on the company’s own servers⁠1Odoo pricingOdoo.

Best for: Companies that want a full suite at low published per-user prices, with the option to host it themselves.

Not the right fit for: Companies that want unlimited users, or a fixed-price, partner-led rollout quoted in advance.

What it covers

Both paid plans include all apps, with unlimited support, hosting and maintenance. The Custom plan adds multi-company, the Odoo Studio customisation tool, agentic AI and an external API⁠1Odoo pricingOdoo. For manufacturers, Odoo describes finite capacity planning with a Gantt view, lot and serial tracking, a shop-floor tablet app, quality control points, PLM with version control and a maintenance app⁠2Odoo ManufacturingOdoo.

How it compares with Acumatica

Odoo charges per user, from €19.90 a month on Standard and €35.90 on Custom when billed yearly, while Acumatica does not sell seats⁠13Odoo pricingOdooAcumatica pricingAcumatica. Odoo’s discount is valid for 12 months for the initial users ordered, so the renewal rate should be confirmed. Implementation is not priced: mid-sized companies are directed to partners and those above 250 employees to Odoo directly⁠1Odoo pricingOdoo.
