Short answer: The total cost has two parts. First, the Odoo subscription, paid to Odoo S.A. per user per month. Second, the implementation by a service provider, which for small and mid-sized companies commonly ranges from a few thousand euros for a simple setup to several tens of thousands for multi-company or manufacturing projects. Ongoing support is usually a monthly plan or prepaid hours.
1. The Odoo subscription
Odoo has a free One App plan (one app, unlimited users) and paid plans per user per month, usually called Standard and Custom. In the eurozone the paid plans are roughly in the €20 to €40 per user per month range, depending on the plan and billing period. Prices differ by country, so check odoo.com/pricing. You pay this directly to Odoo S.A.
2. Implementation
| Project type | Typical scope | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1 to 3 apps, up to 5 users, standard setup | a few thousand euros |
| Small business | 5 to 6 apps, up to 15 users, data migration, training | around €10,000 to €15,000 |
| Mid-sized | 10+ apps incl. manufacturing, integrations | around €20,000 to €40,000 |
| Complex | Multi-country, multi-company, custom modules | €40,000 and more |
Market ranges based on published offers from Odoo service providers. Your quote depends on scope, data and customisation.
For reference, Odoo S.A. itself sells implementation hours as “Success Packs”, which start at 25 hours.
3. Support and ongoing management
After go-live you need someone to answer questions, apply updates and make small changes. This is usually a monthly plan or a pack of prepaid hours.
What drives the cost up
- Custom development instead of standard features
- Many integrations with other systems
- Poor data quality in the old system
- Several countries and companies
- Unclear scope at the start
How to keep it under control
- Start with standard Odoo and change your process before changing the software.
- Agree a written scope and a fixed quote for the setup.
- Go live in phases: core apps first, extras later.
- Keep the Odoo subscription in your own name so you stay in control.
