The cost of Odoo for business consists of three main components: the license, implementation services, and post-launch support.
The software vendor manages the license, while implementation and ongoing support are handled by the integration partner. OS-MENA outlines on its website services including implementation, customization, integration, training, and support in Dubai.
The license determines the “entry ticket”, while implementation defines how deeply the software integrates into business processes and starts delivering value. Odoo pricing varies most significantly at the implementation stage, since the scope depends on processes, data, integrations, and UAE localization requirements.
The three main budget categories are:
The license is a subscription plan purchased from the software vendor (or the free Community version).
Implementation includes business analysis, module configuration, data migration, employee training, and system go-live.
Support covers system operation, fixes, updates, and functional improvements after launch.
Odoo’s official pricing model is based on subscription plans calculated “per user per month”. The official price list is published on the Pricing page and updated by the vendor.
The One App Free plan costs €0 and provides access to one application with unlimited users on Odoo Online. This plan is convenient for pilot projects. For example, you can create a website in minutes using the Website app and test scenarios at no cost. The €0 price means zero euros for the plan as long as only one application is used.
The Standard and Custom plans are priced per user per month and include all applications under a single subscription fee. The Pricing page also notes discounts for the first 12 months for new users and additional hosting fees for Odoo.sh.
Pricing can be conveniently estimated using the Pricing Configurator, which links the plan, number of users, and implementation services. For reference, the U.S. Odoo website lists a price of approximately $24.90 per month for access to all applications.
Implementation often becomes the most expensive stage when a company launches multiple modules and restructures processes in sales, logistics, and finance.
The project begins with process analysis and planning. Without mapping operations, it is difficult to select appropriate modules and configure user roles.
Customization increases costs when businesses require non-standard reports, forms, approval workflows, or automation.
Integrations add to the budget when Odoo connects with banks, payment gateways, or delivery services to ensure seamless data exchange.
Data migration requires time for transfer, reconciliation, and correcting directory errors.
Employee training reduces risks, since user mistakes after launch can result in costly incidents and manual corrections.
Support is necessary after go-live due to user questions and requests for enhancements.
Odoo subscriptions under Standard and Custom plans include hosting, maintenance, and vendor-level support, meaning some tasks are covered directly by the software provider.
Integrator support typically covers regulatory compliance, security, performance optimization, and ongoing process improvements tailored to real operational needs.
OS-MENA highlights fast local response times in Dubai, preventive updates, security monitoring, and backups. On its website, OS-MENA lists example support packages:
The site specifies that the license is not included and annual payment is required.
Cost depends on industry, since retail, logistics, and manufacturing modules vary in complexity. Scale also matters: the number of users, roles, and monthly transactions directly impacts the budget.
Localization adds tax requirements, as VAT in the United Arab Emirates is applied at a standard rate of 5%.
An additional factor is compliance with regulations of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) for companies registered within the center and subject to its legal framework.
Hosting also affects the budget, as Odoo Online, Odoo.sh, and on-premise deployments distribute infrastructure responsibility differently.
The implementation partner often has a greater impact on the final outcome than choosing between Standard or Custom plans, because the partner translates company processes into system configurations.
For large-scale implementations, working with a local partner is recommended. Local presence accelerates approvals, communication, and employee training.
OS-MENA is an official Odoo partner in Dubai and across MENA. The company has over 15 years of market experience and provides a full cycle of services: implementation, customization, migration, training, and support.
To estimate the budget accurately, businesses should start with a consultation and request a tailored quote based on the number of users, selected modules, and required integrations. Publishing support packages helps companies forecast first-year operational expenses.
Budget planning begins with defining first-phase objectives. In ERP projects, phased implementation is typically more cost-effective than attempting to deploy everything at once.
Next, companies select the license plan and hosting option, as access to Studio, multi-company functionality, and API capabilities influences architecture and cost.
Then integrations, data migration, and training requirements are defined, these tasks most often cause hour overruns.
Finally, first-year support should be included in the budget to ensure that system changes and user questions do not disrupt sales or finance operations.
Odoo pricing is easier to control when the integrator clearly defines the scope of work and provides a transparent commercial proposal. For companies in Dubai, requesting a detailed quotation from OS-MENA is logical, as the company confirms local presence and publishes example support tariffs on its website.
