Why businesses switch from Odoo

Odoo is powerful but expensive. Here is what it is really costing you.

💰

Year 1 costs $22-62K+

Odoo Custom plan: $38-45/user/mo. Odoo.sh hosting: $80-300+/mo. Implementation partner: $15-50K. For 15 users, Year 1 is $22-62K+. Celerp is free.

📝

Consultants required

Odoo needs certified consultants to configure manufacturing workflows, set up BOMs, and train your team. Celerp works out of the box with the Manufacturing preset.

🔒

You dont own your data

Odoo Online is SaaS - your data lives on their servers. Odoo.sh costs $80-300+/mo for hosting. Celerp is self-hosted - your data stays on your machine.

👥

Per-user pricing adds up

Odoo charges per user - your whole office needs access? That's $38-45/user/mo. Celerp never charges per seat: one flat Celerp Connect plan puts your whole office on it, however many people you add.

Frequently asked questions

Is Celerp really free?

Yes. The desktop app is free, with a source-available core and open-source MIT modules - all features included, no paywalls, no hidden fees, and no per-seat charges ever. Create unlimited user accounts; one person is signed in at a time on the free app, and Celerp Connect connects your whole office at once.

Can I migrate from Odoo?

Yes. Export your products, customers, and orders from Odoo as CSV. Import them into Celerp. Your accounting data stays in Odoo - Celerp has its own built-in accounting. Most businesses are operational within 30 minutes.

Does Celerp have the same features as Odoo?

Celerp covers manufacturing, inventory, accounting, CRM, and purchasing - all things Odoo offers. Celerp also includes things Odoo charges extra for: click-to-edit bulk entry, an AI assistant, and no per-seat fees.

What about Odoo Community edition?

Odoo Community is free but very limited - no manufacturing module, no advanced inventory, no accounting, no CRM. You need Odoo Enterprise for those. Celerp includes everything in the free tier.

How does the whole office connect?

On the free app, one person is signed in at a time - perfect for a single workstation. To put your whole office on it at once, add Celerp Connect: it turns any Mac Mini or PC into a secure server everyone reaches from their browser, in the office or remotely. One flat price, never per user - and your existing server works too.
