Our review
Axelor is an open source ERP that includes a no-code BPM engine for building and automating business processes. The site is published by Axelor SAS, 23 rue Alfred Nobel, 77420 Champs-sur-Marne, SIRET 480 879 733 00040.
BPM is one part of a larger business suite there, not the whole product. All vendor pages were opened on 4 November 2026.
Who runs Axelor and who hosts the service?
Axelor SAS in Champs-sur-Marne, France, edits the Axelor website. The terms for the hosting service name OVH as hosting provider.
The pricing page says Axelor is ISO 27001 certified and an accredited e-invoicing platform.
What does Axelor charge?
Axelor publishes per-user prices. Pro costs €35 per user per month from 10 users, Enterprise €55 per user per month from 20 users, and the Light User license €10 per user per month.
Pro includes the commercial license, all business modules, updates and standard support. Enterprise adds the AI module, advanced BI, SSO and priority support.
How does Axelor compare with Appian?
Axelor offers a drag-and-drop Studio and a no-code BPM engine, which covers parts of what Appian advertises for low-code. It also brings more than 50 ERP applications, which Appian does not describe.
The pages we read do not show how deep the BPM engine goes against Appian's process features.
Where it falls short
Axelor is an ERP first, so BPM sits inside a larger product and may bring modules you do not need. Pro needs at least 10 users and Enterprise at least 20. The pages we read do not name the open source licence.
Best suited to users of Axelor
Mid-sized companies that want an ERP and no-code process automation from one French vendor with public prices.
