The short version

  • Only Odoo Inventory has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bidsketch tiers are seat caps rather than feature sets, at 1 user on Solo, 3 on Team and 8 on Business, with the same features throughout; 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
  • They diverge on capability: Bidsketch covers Proposal templates, Odoo Inventory covers Inventory management.
