Odoo pricing

Freelancers and service SMEs.

SMEs to enterprises, depending on implementation.

Ordinary or tax invoice with Phase 1 QR. Preview without signup; PDF on a free account with no card (3 a month).

Invoicing/accounting apps exist and typically need setup.

Arabic quotes with accept / revise / reject, then invoice and staged payments. Pro plan.

CRM/Sales supports quotations once configured.

Payment requests, collection links, transfer proofs, receipts, a daily follow-up list, and reminder copy you send yourself. Pro.

AR depends on which apps are implemented.

Customer aging (current / 1–30 / 31–60 / 61–90 / 90+) and CSV, plus a no-account calculator.

Accounting reports exist after the module is set up.

Double-entry ledger with automatic posting on Business. Not a multi-company practice suite at Wafeq/Qoyod scale.

Customisable ERP accounting.

VAT report on Business, plus a public return estimator that does not store your figures.

Depends on the accounting app and Saudi localisation installed.

A Phase 2 integration path exists on the Business plan: device onboarding with a Fatoora OTP, simplified-invoice signing, and Reporting/Clearance routes. As of 29 August 2026 no customer has completed production onboarding end to end, and Fawtar is not described as a ZATCA-approved or listed solution.

Not publicly documented as of 2026-08-29. Out-of-the-box Saudi Phase 2 without an implementer. Depends on the module and partner.

Stock deduction with POS on Business. Not multi-warehouse / BOM inventory.

Inventory is one of Odoo’s stronger apps.

POS issues a simplified tax invoice with QR, deducts stock, and runs cash-drawer shifts. Business plan.

A mature POS app inside Odoo.

Payroll with GOSI by nationality/scheme and a WPS file. Business plan. Not a full HRIS.

Employees/payroll apps depend on localisation.

Project margin from quotes, invoices and costs on Business, including deposit and milestone billing.

Projects and analytic accounting are an Odoo strength.

Documented REST + OpenAPI + MCP: Pro for invoicing, Business for everything. Filter grammar aligned with Qoyod to ease migration.

Rich external XML-RPC/JSON-RPC APIs.

Signed webhooks for invoice and payment events, plus Google Sheets feeds. Docs are public.

Automations and webhooks depend on apps.

User-reviewed statement matching on Business. Not a direct Saudi bank feed.

Bank matching is part of accounting.

Branches on the Business plan.

Multi-company/multi-branch once configured.

Cost centres on Business.

Native analytic accounts.

A PWA in the mobile browser. No native app-store application.

Mobile apps vary by module.

Salla was tested on a real production store. Zid/Shopify/Woo paths exist. MCP, Sheets and webhooks. Not Foodics.

A large app store.

Public tools with no signup, a free account at 3 invoices/month, and a 1-day Pro trial after card checkout confirmation.

Self-hosted Community is free; Odoo Online is paid.

Arabic-first RTL, with Arabic PDFs rather than mirrored English templates. Wafeq and Qoyod are Arabic too.

Arabic translations exist; localisation quality depends on the partner.

Checkout in SAR by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Lemon Squeezy. The published 29 August 2026 snapshot records no completed customer Phase 2 production onboarding. No ZATCA approval claim or third-party ratings.

Needs implementation. Total cost is larger than an invoicing subscription.

A Saudi service business that needs an Arabic invoice today, then collections and a ledger, without starting on an ERP.

An organisation that needs ERP customisation and will pay for implementation.
