European Alternatives to NetSuite
Looking for a European alternative to NetSuite? In the US edition of its Subscription Services Agreement the contract is with Oracle America, Inc., governed by California law with the courts of San Francisco or Santa Clara counties as the exclusive forum, and the only EMEA edition Oracle publishes is for the United Kingdom.
Eleven European tools cover the job: general ERP for small and mid-sized companies (Odoo, Axelor, Exact, AFAS, Comarch ERP), trade and e-commerce ERP (weclapp, Xentral, metasfresh), manufacturing ERP (proALPHA, Monitor ERP) and a small-business suite (Holded), from companies in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Spain.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. Editorial policy

- Odoo (Belgium) has a free single-app plan and all-apps plans per user, under Belgian law and the Nivelles Business Court in its Enterprise agreement.
- weclapp (Germany) and Axelor (France) publish their per-user prices: weclapp from €39 and Axelor Pro at €35 a user a month.
- Xentral (Augsburg) and metasfresh (Bonn) fit trade and e-commerce; Monitor ERP (Sweden) and proALPHA (Germany) fit manufacturers.
- Exact, AFAS and Comarch ERP are the established national suites, but their prices are on request.
Why people leave NetSuite
NetSuite is Oracle's cloud ERP. It is sold under a Subscription Services Agreement, and the order itself is an Estimate/Order Form that names the agreement, the term and the fees. Oracle publishes the contract documents openly, which makes the legal position easy to check even though the prices are set per quote.
The US edition of the agreement is with Oracle America, Inc., and article 12 sends disputes to California law and the courts in San Francisco or Santa Clara counties. The only EMEA edition Oracle publishes is the UK one: Oracle Corporation UK Limited, English law and English courts. Which edition applies to a European customer depends on the agreement named on the order, so ask for it before you sign.
This page is about companies that outgrew spreadsheets and basic accounting and want one system for finance, stock, orders and customers, from a supplier whose contracting entity and courts are in the EU or EEA, the UK or Switzerland. Eleven European systems qualify. They are not interchangeable: some are broad suites, some are built for trade or manufacturing, and one is a small-business tool.
- No EU-law edition of the agreement On Oracle's NetSuite contracts page, the EMEA agreement is the UK edition (English law) and the other editions cover North America, Asia Pacific and a few other markets. A customer in the EU therefore signs either the US edition (California law) or the UK one, or something else named on the order. With the European tools here, the contracting party named in the terms is in the EU or EEA, and where the terms state a law and a court (Odoo, weclapp, Holded) they are European.
- Orders are locked in, and renewals follow list price Under article 4, each order form is non-cancellable and payments are non-refundable. The subscription renews automatically for one year unless you give written notice at least 30 days before the term ends, and renewal orders are priced at then-current Oracle pricing. For an ERP you will run for years, those two clauses matter more than the first-year quote.
- Getting your data out is limited and not free Oracle's Hosting and Support Delivery Policies say customers should retrieve their data before termination. On request, Oracle gives account access for retrieval for 60 days afterwards, and extra help from Oracle costs additional fees. Ask any ERP vendor, European or not, for a documented full export format before you commit.
- AI features run through a third party The same policy describes NetSuite's AI features as using OpenAI endpoints, with "Zero Data Retention" stated, and maps endpoints to data-centre regions. If you want to keep personal data away from US AI providers, read that section and ask whether the features can be switched off.
What you have to replace, not just match
List what NetSuite does for you today: general ledger and multi-entity consolidation, invoicing, inventory, purchasing, order management, project billing, e-commerce and reporting. Then rank them by pain, not by feature count. A 30-person trading company and a 400-person manufacturer with three subsidiaries need different European systems, and the list below is grouped that way.
Plan a parallel period of at least one closed quarter. Import opening balances and open items into the new system, rebuild reports and approval flows, and keep the old NetSuite subscription running until the next renewal notice date, which is 30 days before the term ends. Agree an export of your data in a format you can read, and request it before you cancel.

| #2 | weclapp | Kitzingen, Germany | Paid plans per user per month | EU (Germany) |
| #4 | Xentral | Augsburg, Germany | Paid plans, quoted per order volume | EU (Germany) |

How each alternative compares to NetSuite
- Which law reaches it. EU (Belgium). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. EU hosting (Odoo Online) or your own servers.
- Source code. Open source, where NetSuite is not: you can read what it does rather than take the description on trust.
Best for: Growing companies that want finance, stock, CRM and e-commerce in one product and can use a partner for set-up
Odoo is provided by Odoo S.A., Chaussée de Namur 40 in Grand Rosière, Belgium (VAT BE0477472701), together with affiliates. Its Enterprise Subscription Agreement (version 13, dated 24 September 2026) is subject to Belgian law and to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nivelles Business Court.
Its pricing page lists One App Free (one app, unlimited users), a Standard plan with all apps and a Custom plan that adds Odoo Studio, multi-company, an external API and the choice of Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or on-premise, all per user per month. Support, hosting and maintenance are included; Odoo.sh hosting is billed separately. Figures vary by region and carry a 12-month discount, so none is quoted here.
Odoo also lists offices in the United States and other countries on its About page, so check which Odoo entity your quote names.
What Odoo does better than NetSuite
- A free plan with one app and unlimited users
- Accounting, inventory, CRM, eCommerce, HR and project apps under one per-user fee
- Belgian law and a named Belgian court in the Enterprise agreement
- Choice of cloud, Odoo.sh or on-premise on the Custom plan
Where Odoo is a step down from NetSuite
- Prices vary by region and could not be fixed here
- Set-up usually needs a partner, so total cost exceeds the licence
- Less proven than NetSuite for large multi-entity groups
- Odoo and affiliates may be the contracting party, so check the entity
Standout against NetSuite. One per-user fee that covers all apps, plus a free single-app plan to try it.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Germany.
- Source code. Closed source, as NetSuite is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001 certified hosting.
Best for: Trading, service and e-commerce companies that want a transparent per-user price
weclapp is provided by weclapp GmbH, Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 28 in Kitzingen, registered in the commercial register of the District Court of Frankfurt am Main under HRB 129744. Its general terms state at 19.1 that German law applies to all legal relationships, excluding the UN Sales Convention.
Its pricing page lists ERP Starter at €39, ERP Services at €86 or €95 and ERP Trade at €163 or €179 per user per month, net, depending on yearly or monthly billing. The first 30 days are free. Trade adds merchandise management, purchasing, warehouse management, serial and batch numbers, production and store and marketplace connections. Over 10 licences, the Enterprise tier is by quote.
It is a focused product for German-speaking markets and trade or services businesses, not a global multi-entity platform.
What weclapp does better than NetSuite
- Three published per-user prices and a 30-day free trial
- German law stated in the terms
- Warehouse, production and marketplace connections in the Trade plan
- GmbH with a commercial register entry on its legal notice
Where weclapp is a step down from NetSuite
- Not aimed at multi-subsidiary international consolidation
- Per-user price rises with the plan
- Smaller ecosystem than NetSuite
- Starter plan is monthly only and cannot be combined with others
Standout against NetSuite. A trade-capable ERP with a price you can read on one page.
Axelor
an open-source ERP and BPM platform with published prices
Best for: Mid-sized companies, public bodies and manufacturers that want an open-source core and the option to buy support
Axelor is a French company at 23 rue Alfred Nobel in Champs-sur-Marne. The French business register (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr) lists AXELOR under SIREN 480879733, created on 21 February 2005 and active, at the same address.
Its pricing page lists a Community edition at €0 (open source, essential modules, community support), Pro at €35 per user per month from 10 users with all business modules and e-invoicing, and Enterprise at €55 per user per month from 20 users with a built-in AI module. It describes itself as open source, ISO 27001 certified and offering a certified e-invoicing platform.
Its legal notice page is a privacy policy that does not name the legal entity, so the entity comes from the register, not from the site. Governing law was not stated on the pages reached.
What Axelor does better than NetSuite
- Free open-source Community edition
- Published per-user prices for Pro and Enterprise
- French company confirmed in the national register
- ERP, CRM, BPM, BI and web portal in one platform
Where Axelor is a step down from NetSuite
- Pro and Enterprise start at 10 and 20 users
- Legal notice does not name the contracting entity
- Smaller partner network than Odoo or NetSuite
- Governing law not verified
Standout against NetSuite. Open source with prices on the page, from a company you can check in the French register.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Germany.
- Source code. Closed source, as NetSuite is.
Best for: Online sellers and trading companies that grow by order volume and want users unlimited
Xentral is provided by Xentral ERP Software GmbH, Viktoriastraße 3b in Augsburg, registered at the District Court of Augsburg under HRB 23930.
Its pricing page lists Launch from €99 a month (with €0.30 per order, up to 1,200 orders and €500,000 turnover a year), Starter from €349 with 500 orders a month, Business from €649 and Pro from €849, all with a service package and unlimited users, plus a Scale tier by quote. Prices depend on order and shipping volume and are valid for new customers. A free trial is offered.
It is built around online shops and marketplaces, with inventory, shipping provider integration and DATEV. It is less of a fit for project-based businesses or heavy manufacturing.
What Xentral does better than NetSuite
- Unlimited users on Starter and up
- Published monthly prices and a free trial
- Online store and marketplace integrations
- GmbH with a commercial register entry
Where Xentral is a step down from NetSuite
- Pricing grows with order volume
- Weaker for manufacturing and project accounting
- Governing law not verified on the terms page reached
- Priced per order band, so cost follows sales volume
Standout against NetSuite. Users are unlimited from the first paid plan; you pay for order volume instead.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Netherlands). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Netherlands.
- Source code. Closed source, as NetSuite is.
Best for: Small and mid-sized Benelux companies and their accountants, especially in trade, manufacturing and services
Exact's privacy statement names Exact B.V., registered in the Netherlands under number 27225828, Molengraaffsingel 33 in Delft, together with its subsidiaries. Its terms page lists separate terms by country, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland, Spain and the Netherlands.
Its homepage says more than 675,000 companies rely on it and describes finance software as the core, with ERP to connect and automate business processes, and industry solutions for accounting, commerce, manufacturing, hospitality, professional services and construction. No prices are published on the pages reached.
Its terms differ by country, so the exact entity and governing law depend on where you buy.
What Exact does better than NetSuite
- Dutch company with a register number in its privacy statement
- Large installed base and accountant channel
- Finance and ERP from the same vendor, with industry solutions
- Country-specific terms and local entities
Where Exact is a step down from NetSuite
- No published prices
- Positioned on its homepage at small and mid-sized businesses
- Contract terms differ by country
- Trial and demo details not shown on the pages reached
Standout against NetSuite. Its own pages describe finance software as the core, with ERP connected to it.
AFAS
a single Dutch system for finance, HR, payroll, orders and projects
Best for: Dutch and Belgian organisations that want one system for administration, HR and payroll
AFAS Software B.V. sits at Inspiratielaan 1 in Leusden, KvK number 31046821, and calls itself a family business. Its sites say that more than 14,000 organisations rely on it, with offices in Belgium and the Caribbean as well.
Its navigation lists ERP, finance, HR, payroll, order management, projects, CRM and workflow management as one set of software, and its homepage describes the ERP as an overall solution for business processes. No prices are shown on the pages reached.
The main site is in Dutch, with an English version, and its Dutch homepage calls it the number 1 HRM and payroll software in the Netherlands, which is its own claim.
What AFAS does better than NetSuite
- HR, payroll and finance in the same system
- Dutch family company with a KvK number on its contact page
- Single-system approach instead of a stack of integrations
- Offices in Belgium as well as the Netherlands
Where AFAS is a step down from NetSuite
- No published prices
- Mainly Dutch and Belgian market, mainly Dutch-language site
- Less suited to businesses in many countries
- Terms and governing law not verified
Standout against NetSuite. HR and payroll belong to the same product range as finance, orders and projects.
Monitor ERP
manufacturing ERP from Sweden with a published starting price
Best for: Small and mid-sized manufacturers that want a standard system built around production
Monitor ERP is provided by Monitor Enterprise Resource Planning System AB (556071-3454) in Hudiksvall, Sweden, according to its Swedish privacy policy. Its pricing page says Monitor was established in Hudiksvall in 1974, says it has 6,500+ customers in over 50 countries and about 50 percent market share in Sweden.
The same page says the cloud version starts from EUR 93 per month per user with everything included, and lists a Basic and further price packages with add-on options. Industry pages cover metal, electronics, machine manufacturing, plastics, automotive, furniture, textiles and food. Its trust centre describes an ISO 27001 based security programme.
It is a manufacturing system. A company whose revenue is mostly services or subscriptions will find it too narrow.
What Monitor ERP does better than NetSuite
- Built for production planning and shop-floor processes
- A published starting price per user per month
- Swedish company with an organisation number in its privacy policy
- Long track record: established 1974
Where Monitor ERP is a step down from NetSuite
- Narrow: manufacturing, not general services or software
- Pricing may differ by market
- Governing law not verified
- Fit is stated by its own industry pages only
Standout against NetSuite. It is an ERP for factories first, with a cloud price you can read.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Germany (proAlpha's own data centres), or your own servers.
- Source code. Closed source, as NetSuite is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001 and ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Best for: Mid-sized German-speaking manufacturers and trading companies
proALPHA is provided by Proalpha GmbH, Auf dem Immel 8 in Weilerbach, registered at the Kaiserslautern District Court under HRB 31613, according to its legal notice.
Its price page says it offers a SaaS package on monthly subscription for small manufacturers, and its full ERP as perpetual licence or subscription, in the cloud or on premise, all tailored to the customer, with no amounts shown. Its site lists finance, HR, spend management, shop-floor and customer experience solutions as well.
Without published prices or a trial, evaluation goes through sales.
What proALPHA does better than NetSuite
- German company with a commercial register entry
- Choice of SaaS, licence and subscription
- Manufacturing, trade, finance and HR modules in one vendor
- Fixed costs and project durations promised for the SME package
Where proALPHA is a step down from NetSuite
- No published prices or trial
- Fit for your industry is stated only on its own pages
- Evaluation goes through sales, not self-service
- Terms and governing law not verified
Standout against NetSuite. A mid-market manufacturing ERP with a monthly SaaS option for the smallest producers.
metasfresh
a German-hosted ERP for wholesale and food, with user fees from €99
Best for: Wholesalers and food companies that read German and want German hosting
metasfresh is run by metas GmbH, Am Nossbacher Weg 2 in Bonn, registered at the Bonn District Court under HRB 20870.
Its price page lists a user fee from €99 per user per month on monthly payment, cloud hosting in German data centres on a dedicated server from €299 a month, and a starter package priced on request. All prices are excluding VAT. It says industry functions such as batch tracking, FEFO, recipes and IFS-conformant documentation are in the standard product.
The site is in German, which limits it to German-speaking teams unless a partner supports you.
What metasfresh does better than NetSuite
- German hosting stated on the price page
- Published user fee and hosting price
- Batch tracking, FEFO and recipes for food in the standard product
- GmbH with a commercial register entry
Where metasfresh is a step down from NetSuite
- Site and documentation in German
- Narrow focus on wholesale and food
- Starter package price on request
- Prices exclude VAT and no trial was found on the price page
Standout against NetSuite. Food-trade features such as FEFO and recipe management are in the standard product.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Poland). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Poland, Germany and France, on Comarch's own ISO 27001 data centres.
- Source code. Closed source, as NetSuite is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified data centres.
Best for: Polish and Central European companies, and groups that want an ERP from one vendor across several sizes
Comarch ERP is part of COMARCH SA, a Polish joint-stock company (spółka akcyjna) listed in the National Court Register (KRS 0000057567), with its seat at Aleja Jana Pawła II 39 A in Kraków. The register was checked directly; Comarch's own site did not provide a reachable legal notice.
Its ERP page lists Comarch ERP Optima, Comarch Altum, Comarch BPM, Retail, WMS and a section on ERP for multinationals. No prices are published on the pages reached.
It is strongest in Poland and neighbouring markets, with local tax and reporting built in.
What Comarch ERP does better than NetSuite
- Polish company verified in the national court register
- Product range from small business to multinational
- Retail, WMS and BI products from the same vendor
- Wide product range under one vendor name
Where Comarch ERP is a step down from NetSuite
- No published prices
- Own legal notice could not be reached
- Terms and governing law not verified
Standout against NetSuite. A family of ERP products plus a separate offer for multinationals.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Spain). NetSuite is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. EU ("in general" per the privacy policy; transfers outside the EEA under SCCs or BCRs possible).
- Source code. Closed source, as NetSuite is.
- Independently checked. Verifactu.
Best for: Small businesses and freelancers who are outgrowing invoicing software and need stock and projects
Holded is provided by Holded Technologies, S.L., a company whose terms (last updated 26 February 2025) are governed by the laws of Spain, with the courts of Barcelona having exclusive jurisdiction. The terms also incorporate a Data Processing Agreement available in the platform.
Its site lists invoicing, accounting, treasury, team and HR, inventory and manufacturing, CRM and projects, with a 14-day free trial. The pricing page shows a launch discount for new customers, so no price is quoted here.
It is the smallest tool on this list. It is a suite for small teams, and a company with several subsidiaries, intercompany accounting and heavy order volumes will want a larger system.
What Holded does better than NetSuite
- 14-day free trial and low entry cost
- Accounting, stock, CRM and projects in one product
- Spanish law and Barcelona courts in the terms
- Includes AI and ERP sections in its feature list
Where Holded is a step down from NetSuite
- Not aimed at multi-entity or large order volumes
- Prices could not be verified because of the promotion
- Manufacturing is one module among many, not its focus
- Far smaller scope than NetSuite
Standout against NetSuite. The lowest-friction way to get stock, accounting and CRM in one place.
What actually breaks when you switch
The hardest part of leaving NetSuite is timing. Orders are non-cancellable and auto-renew for a year unless you give written notice at least 30 days before the term ends, so work back from that date and plan the switch for your quietest month-end, not the busiest.
Customisations do not move. Custom fields, scripts and workflows built on NetSuite have to be rebuilt in the new system, and that is usually the largest cost. List them, and drop the ones nobody uses.
Export before you cancel. Oracle provides retrieval access for 60 days after termination, and help from Oracle is billed. Request a full export of the ledger, items, open orders and attachments early, and test importing it.
Check local compliance in each country you operate: e-invoicing, VAT reporting, payroll and fiscal audit files. Capabilities differ by vendor and by country, so test the countries that matter to you.
Is there a European system as broad as NetSuite?
Odoo is the broadest in modules: its pricing page lists accounting, inventory, CRM, eCommerce, manufacturing, HR and project apps for one per-user fee on its Standard and Custom plans. AFAS and Exact cover finance, HR, orders and projects, mostly for companies in their home markets, and Comarch ERP offers a family of products up to multinational use.
Breadth is not the same as maturity. NetSuite is an established suite for multi-entity businesses; check any European candidate on your hardest requirement, such as multi-company consolidation or local tax rules in the countries you operate in, before you shortlist it.
Which of these can I try without a sales call?
Odoo has a free single-app plan and a free trial, weclapp offers 30 days free, Xentral and Holded have free trials (Holded for 14 days), and Axelor's Community edition is open source and free to download. Exact, AFAS, proALPHA, Monitor ERP, metasfresh and Comarch route you through a demo or quote, though Monitor ERP and metasfresh publish a starting price.
A trial of a full ERP is only as useful as the data you load into it. Use a copy of one real month of transactions.
Which suit manufacturing and which suit trade?
Monitor ERP (Sweden) and proALPHA (Germany) are built for manufacturers and say so on their own sites. metasfresh describes itself as ERP for wholesale and food, Xentral as ERP for e-commerce and trade, and weclapp's Trade plan lists warehouse management, production and store and marketplace connections.
Odoo and Axelor list manufacturing modules too. If production planning is core to you, ask each vendor for a reference customer in your industry.
Does the contract really matter for an ERP?
More than for most software: an ERP holds your ledger, your customers and your stock for a decade. The contract decides which court hears a dispute, whether the term renews on its own and how you can get your data out. NetSuite's agreement is a standard form with a non-cancellable order and auto-renewal; read the European tools' terms for the same three points.
Where terms could be read, the tools here state a European law: Odoo (Belgian law, Nivelles), weclapp (German law), Holded (Spanish law, Barcelona courts). For others, the terms were not reachable or did not state a governing law, which this page says.
Which one to pick
If you want a broad system with a free way to try it, Odoo is the place to start, with a per-user price that includes all apps. If you want transparent prices for a trade or services business, weclapp, and for an e-commerce business, Xentral. Axelor is the one for an open-source core with a price list.
If you manufacture, look first at Monitor ERP and proALPHA, and metasfresh if you are a food or wholesale business that reads German. Exact and AFAS fit Benelux companies that value an established national vendor, and Comarch ERP fits Polish and Central European groups.
Be realistic about the gap. NetSuite is a mature suite for growing, multi-entity businesses, and none of these eleven reproduces all of it. Switch if you want a European contracting party and courts, and a contract you can leave on your own timeline; stay if multi-subsidiary consolidation is your hardest requirement and no candidate meets it in a proof of concept.
Frequently Asked Questions
Odoo is the broadest, with a free single-app plan and a per-user plan with all apps, under Belgian law. weclapp is the clearest on price for trade and services companies, and Axelor is the open-source option with published prices. Manufacturers should look at Monitor ERP and proALPHA first, e-commerce companies at Xentral.
No. Under the US edition of its Subscription Services Agreement the contracting party is Oracle America, Inc., with California law. Oracle's only EMEA edition is for the United Kingdom, with Oracle Corporation UK Limited and English law. Which one applies is named on your order.
Its public pages were not reachable for this page (HTTP 403), and the contract documents do not list prices. Fees are set in the Estimate/Order Form. Renewal orders are priced at then-current Oracle pricing, and each order is non-cancellable and non-refundable under article 4.
weclapp lists ERP Starter at €39, ERP Services at €86 or €95 and ERP Trade at €163 or €179 per user per month, net, depending on yearly or monthly billing, with 30 days free. Xentral lists Launch from €99 a month plus €0.30 per order, and Starter from €349, Business from €649 and Pro from €849 a month, each with unlimited users, and a free trial.
Axelor lists Community at €0, Pro at €35 per user per month from 10 users and Enterprise at €55 from 20 users. Monitor ERP says its cloud starts from EUR 93 per user per month. metasfresh lists a user fee from €99 per user per month on monthly payment and cloud hosting in German data centres from €299 a month, with a starter package on request. Its site is in German.
There is a free plan: one app, with unlimited users. The Standard and Custom plans, which include all apps, are priced per user per month, and the pricing page shows different figures by region and a 12-month discount for new users, so no figure is quoted here. Custom adds on-premise and Odoo.sh options, multi-company and an external API.
Odoo S.A., Chaussée de Namur 40 in Grand Rosière, Belgium (VAT BE0477472701), with affiliates. The Enterprise Subscription Agreement (version 13, September 2026) is subject to Belgian law and the exclusive jurisdiction of the Nivelles Business Court. Odoo also lists offices in the United States and elsewhere, which can matter for support and sales entities.
No, but their strength is the Benelux. Exact B.V. (KvK 27225828) in Delft publishes terms for several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, France, Poland and Spain. AFAS Software B.V. (KvK 31046821) in Leusden has its main site in Dutch, an English site, and offices in Belgium and the Caribbean. Check language support and local tax features for your country.
Yes, as exports and imports, not as a switch. Export the chart of accounts, open customer and supplier items, items and stock levels and your transaction history as files, and import them into the new system, usually with help from a partner.
