Understanding What Influences Your Odoo Pricing

Before diving into the details of Odoo pricing, it’s important to understand that no two businesses will have the exact same cost. Odoo’s pricing structure depends on several variables, and because every business has different workflows, team sizes, and module needs, giving a single fixed estimate is impossible.

If you’re trying to estimate your Odoo cost in the UAE, this guide gives a clear breakdown of every factor that affects the final price. These essentials we detail determine the baseline of your Odoo cost and are the first things you should consider when estimating your budget.

Below, we break down these key factors to help you understand what impacts your Odoo pricing the most.

Number of Users

Pricing is per user/month.

More users = higher subscription cost.

A user is any person who needs backend access to Odoo to do things like:

Create or edit records
Approve tasks
Manage inventory
Send invoices
Update CRM deals
Run reports
Access settings

Who does NOT count as a user?

Employees who only use a portal.

‍Portal access is free. Portal users can log in to a simple interface that lets them view their documents, track orders, check tickets, and approve or comment when allowed.

Typical real-world example

A company with 100 employees may only need 7–15 actual Odoo users, such as:

3 salespeople
2 accountants
2 operations staff
1 HR admin
1 manager

The rest of the company never logs into the backend, so they don’t need user licenses.

Implementation

Even though Odoo provides the software, most businesses rely on
certified Odoo partners to set up the system correctly,
customize workflows, and ensure a smooth transition.

Here’s how we handle Odoo Implementation!

These four subcategories break down the implementation in terms of cost :-

1. Modules

When you buy the standard Odoo plan, you get all 12 core modules (listed below). You only pay for additional ones.

However, modules can affect your total cost indirectly:

Implementation effort – Using many modules may require more setup, configuration, or partner support.
More users – If more staff need to access these modules, your per-user subscription cost goes up.
Custom or third-party modules – Extra apps or custom features may have separate fees.

In short: Standard modules are included, but more users, setup, and custom apps can increase your total cost.

Modules included in the standard plan:

2. Customization Hours

The total time required to tailor Odoo to your specific workflows, add custom features, or modify existing modules to match your business needs.

3. On-site Man-days

The number of days our consultants spend at your location to configure the system, train staff, and ensure everything runs smoothly.

4. Number of companies

The total instances or business entities you plan to manage in Odoo, as each company may require separate configurations and data setup.

Support / AMC

An AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is basically a yearly service agreement that ensures your Odoo system keeps working smoothly after the initial setup. In our case,

We provide an initial support of 3 months for free.
After that, clients can opt for an AMC, which is typically
25% of the implementation fees per year and provides ongoing, annual support.

Odoo Edition / Hosting Type

This refers to how and where your Odoo system is hosted, which affects both cost and setup.

You can choose:

1. Odoo Online (Cloud / SaaS) (FREE)

Fully hosted by Odoo, with automatic updates, backups, and maintenance.
Odoo Online is easy to use, but it doesn’t allow customizations.

2. Odoo.sh (Managed Cloud Platform)

This is also hosted by Odoo, but unlike Odoo Online, it gives you full freedom to customize, install your own modules, and develop anything you need. While Odoo still handles hosting, backups, and server management for you.

3. Self-Hosted

You manage everything yourself: server setup, updates, security, backups, and performance.
It’s the best choice for businesses that need deep customization, full data control, or specific infrastructure requirements.

4. Partner Managed Hosting

Your partner provides the server, handles setup, takes care of maintenance, monitors performance, applies updates, and manages backups. Giving you a fully managed, worry-free environment tailored to your needs.

Partner Support

What Partners Do That Odoo Doesn’t

We handle tasks that Odoo alone does not:

Custom configuration of modules and workflows to fit your unique business processes
Data migration from legacy systems or spreadsheets
Integration with other software your company uses
Training employees so they can use the system efficiently
Ongoing support and troubleshooting for issues specific to your setup
Ensuring best practices that reduce errors and maximize ROI

In short: partners bridge the gap between the software and your actual business operations, making sure Odoo works for your specific needs.

Support levels

Basic setup – A simple installation and configuration for small businesses, generally the lowest partner cost.
Full implementation – Complete setup, data migration, training, and ongoing support for medium to large companies, which commands a higher price.
