## About

Odoo is a Belgian ERP software company offering a modular, open-source business management suite.

Odoo operates on a dual-licensing model: Odoo Community (open-source, free to use) and Odoo Enterprise (paid, with additional features and support). The company is headquartered in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, with offices globally. Odoo claims over 9 million users across 150+ countries and has raised over $250M in funding, including a $215M Series C in 2021 that valued it at $3.3 billion.

## Viability

Strong. $3.3B valuation (2021), 9M+ users, open-source community reduces lock-in. Profitable on the Enterprise side. One of the most viable ERP alternatives to SAP/NetSuite for SMBs.

## Pricing

Odoo Community is free but you pay for hosting and implementation. Odoo Enterprise charges per user per month with the first app being the most expensive (~$31/user/mo) and additional apps being $0 each. With 10 users on Enterprise, expect $310-$500/month for the platform alone, plus implementation costs from a partner.

|---|---|---|
| Community (Open Source) | Free (self-hosted) | Technical teams willing to implement and maintain themselves |
| Enterprise (1 app) | ~$31/user/mo | Teams needing one core module with support |
| Enterprise (All apps) | ~$31/user/mo (all apps included) | Full suite access for growing businesses |

## FAQs

Yes. Odoo Community is open-source and free to download and self-host. You pay for hosting, implementation, and any Enterprise-only modules. Many businesses run Odoo Community successfully.

### How does Odoo compare to NetSuite?
