Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Axelor

  • Pro requires at least ten users and Enterprise at least twenty, so a six-person company either stays on unsupported Community or pays for seats it does not have.
  • Documentation, community answers and partner material are substantially richer in French than English, which slows adoption for anglophone teams and makes hiring implementers outside Europe difficult.
  • The AGPL licence on Community obliges you to publish modifications if you offer the software as a network service, which is a genuine blocker for anyone planning to resell a hosted version.
  • The implementation partner network is concentrated in France and neighbouring markets, so buyers elsewhere have few local firms to tender against and limited support timezone coverage.
  • It is a smaller ecosystem than Odoo or ERPNext, so there is no large third-party app marketplace, and functionality the suite lacks has to be built rather than bought.

Omie

  • Specific plan pricing not listed; pricing varies based on company size and revenue
  • Pricing model defined as 'conforme o porte e o faturamento da empresa' (based on company size and revenue)
  • Offered in Portuguese only with Portuguese pricing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Axelor: Is Axelor really free?

The Community edition is genuinely AGPL open source with no licence fee, but it lacks several business modules and has no vendor support, and you carry all hosting and upgrade work.

Omie: How much does Omie cost?

Omie ERP pricing is determined based on company size and revenue rather than fixed tiers. Specific plan prices are not listed on the website; contact a consultant for pricing based on your business needs.

Axelor: Can I upgrade from Community without losing data?

Yes, Axelor states that a Community deployment can move to Pro or Enterprise keeping its database and configuration, which is unusual among open core vendors.

Omie: Does Omie offer a free trial?

Yes, Omie offers a 7-day free trial at R$0.00 with no credit card required. The trial includes cloud-based system access, premium customer support, and full access to core features with quick cancellation available anytime.

Source
Axelor: Do I need Java developers?

Not for most changes. Studio handles entities, views and workflows as configuration. Deep integrations and new module logic still need Java skills.

Omie: What is included in the Omie free trial?

The 7-day free trial includes a 100% online cloud-based system, premium customer support, simple online contracting, and full access to core features without credit card requirements.

Source
Axelor: Does it handle EU e-invoicing mandates?

E-invoicing is included on the paid editions, which is the main reason French customers move off Community as mandates come into force.
