The short version

  • Only Odoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: bexio basic plan at CHF 35/month allows only 1 user, and Advanced at CHF 42/month covers just 2 users before charging CHF 21/month per additional user; Odoo the free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan
