PrimoERP vs Odoo
An Odoo alternative, honestly compared.
Odoo is a suite of business apps with an open source edition. Here is where PrimoERP differs, where Odoo is the better pick, and what moving over involves.
- Users included
- Setup in the quote
- Local support
In two sentences
If you want many apps from one vendor, open source code you can host yourself, or one app for free, Odoo offers that. If you want accounts, sales, stock, purchase and payroll set up with you at published prices, with users included, that is what PrimoERP is built for.

What Odoo says about Odoo, next to what PrimoERP does.
| Topic | Odoo | PrimoERP |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Standard ₹580 and Custom ₹1,080 per user a month, billed yearly, for the first 12 months on the users you first order. After that, ₹725 and ₹1,350.[1] | From ₹1,499 a month, billed annually, plus GST, with setup and training in an onboarding package at a published price. |
| How users are counted | Priced per user. Anyone with access to the Odoo backend is a paying user, and so is an employee record with no user linked.[1] | Users are included in every plan, and you add more as you grow. |
| Several companies | Multi-company, Odoo Studio and the external API come with the Custom plan only.[1] | Several companies on one set of reports come with the Business plan. |
| Setup and training | Implementation is not included in the plans. Companies under 50 employees can buy Success Packs; bigger ones usually work with a partner.[1] | Setup, data migration and training for each team come as an onboarding package with a published price, done by our team or a PrimoERP partner, at the same price. |
| Editions | Two editions: Odoo Community, which is open source, and Odoo Enterprise, which is licensed.[2] | One edition, in the cloud, run for you. Nothing to install and no server to look after. |
