Is it really free? Here's what each tier costs and what it leaves out.
Per user, per month, hosted by Odoo unless noted. Numbers come from Odoo's own pricing page.
Fits: one job, one app.
Leaves out: every other app.
Fits: small shops running Odoo as it comes.
Leaves out: Studio, multi-company, external API.
Fits: bending Odoo to your process without code.
Adds: Studio, multi-company, external API.
Fits: custom Python code and real development.
Leaves out: nothing, but hosting grows with the build.
On Odoo.sh the per-user price is only the start. Hosting is billed separately, and it grows with the size and shape of your build.
More users, automations and integrations running at once need more processing power.
Your database plus every attachment, image and document grows every year you run it.
Every copy you keep for testing changes before they hit production adds to the bill.
Odoo.sh exists to run your own modules, so the more you build, the more of the above you use.
The worksheet adds these lines in for you, so an Odoo.sh total isn't just the per-user number.
The license is the easy part. What decides your budget is implementation, and that depends on three things:
Getting that scoped before you buy is the difference between landing on budget and watching a project balloon. It's the piece Black Iron handles.
| Community | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|

| Hosting | You run the server | Odoo hosts it |
| Apps | Smaller set | Full catalog |
| Support and upgrades | On you | Included |
Once a manufacturer is past a handful of employees and counts what their own time is worth, Enterprise on Custom or Odoo.sh is almost always where they end up. Odoo's edition comparison has the full app-by-app list.
Plug in your users, your modules and your scope, and walk away with a number you can hold up against any quote.
