  • 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 Inventory the One App Free plan covers a single app, so using Inventory alongside another Odoo app moves the account onto a paid plan
