The short version

  • Only Odoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Axonaut base price of EUR 38/month covers only 1 user; every additional user costs EUR 29.99/month more, so team pricing scales linearly with no volume discount tier shown; Odoo the free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan
