Odoo Implementation Cost Calculator

Odoo is one of the leading open-source ERP systems, with 101,442 live websites using it, according to a BuilWith report. Research suggests that Odoo is popular among many industries, but information technology and services make up 11% of the top segments. Why do companies find Odoo so attractive and efficient? It’s an open-source ERP system with a straightforward licensing model and transparent pricing plans. There are no surprises or hidden fees, and they offer a free plan and a custom plan according to different business needs.

Licensing, however, is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to overall Odoo implementation cost. Cloud hosting, implementation process, and additional support often make up a significant portion of the total cost of the project.

In this article, we’ll explore the cost of Odoo implementation and the factors that influence the final budget. So, let’s break down the key cost components, providing you with the insights needed to budget appropriately for your next Odoo project.

Breaking Down the Cost of Odoo Implementation

While Odoo pricing is relatively straightforward, it doesn’t include the additional costs for customization, support, hosting, and ongoing changes. The deployment method you choose can further impact the price unless you opt for the free Odoo Community edition. Still, without proper expertise, this approach can lead to higher long-term costs, further increasing the project price. Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of Odoo ERP implementation cost.

Odoo software licensing costs

Odoo has a flexible pricing model that can accommodate businesses of various sizes. Currently, they offer three plans:

• One App Free: Costs $0, provides access to a single Odoo app with unlimited users and is ideal for small businesses or startups
• Standard Plan: Costs $31.10 per user (per month), gives access to all Odoo apps (including sales, marketing, accounting, CRM, inventory, HR, project, POS, etc.), and is ideal for medium-sized companies
• Custom Plan: Costs $46.7 per user (per month) and also includes all Odoo applications. This plan also offers Odoo.sh hosting alongside Odoo Online like other plans have, and is perfect for medium to large enterprises that require advanced features and customization

Remember, Odoo often updates its pricing models to better suit customer demand, so keep yourself updated and check the Odoo pricing page in case you’re planning to get a license. Additionally, Odoo licensing costs can change depending on your geographical location. The prices above are for the companies registered in the US.

This is just one component of the overall Odoo implementation cost. Further down the article, we’ll explore hosting pricing, implementation, and ongoing support costs.

Odoo hosting pricing

Odoo provides flexible hosting options, each with its own pricing structure and features:

• Odoo Online: Hosting on Odoo Online is included in the Odoo Enterprise subscription without any additional charge. It offers automatic updates and maintenance, daily backups, and strong security measures. It’s ideal for small businesses looking for a stress-free experience and off-the-shelf solutions
• Odoo.sh: If you choose this option, you’ll have to pay an additional $42 monthly. In return, you’ll receive greater control and customization options, the ability to install third-party apps, and get access to development, staging, and production environments. It’s ideal for businesses with extensive customization needs
• On-Premise Hosting: Also known as self-hosting, on-premise hosting gives you complete control over the hosting environment and doesn’t require extra fees from Odoo. However, depending on the infrastructure, you’ll still have to pay for the hosting. You’ll also be responsible for the updates, security, and backup rests. It’s an ideal option for organizations with specific security requirements or existing infrastructure

You can also download the Odoo Community version if you want to use the platform without incurring licensing fees. However, you’ll only have access to a limited set of features compared to the Odoo Enterprise edition.

Odoo implementation costs

Now that we’ve covered Odoo Enterprise pricing and hosting costs, it’s time to explore the approximate budget for Odoo customization for the business needs, also known as the project budget. The cost of customization depends on various factors, including the complexity of the features, the number of modules, the number of users, and more. The standard customization (or Odoo implementation) project includes these stages:

• Discovery stage
• System configuration and data migration
• Customization and system integration
• Functional training
• Project management and oversight
• Business process optimization
• Testing and quality assurance

Discovery stage

Every successful Odoo implementation project starts with a discovery stage to understand business requirements and project scope. This stage allows your Odoo partner to learn more about your business and find the necessary gaps in your in-house team that need adjustment or insight. This process is lengthy and needs to be conducted meticulously. It includes:

• Collecting essential requirements from different departments in the company
• Analyzing existing processes and mapping them to Odoo modules
• Creating an initial implementation roadmap

Depending on the partner you choose, how much planning was done before choosing the new ERP software, and which modules you plan to use, the pricing of the discovery stage may range widely. Additionally, Odoo their offers success packs that include requirement analysis, configuration, and training.
