The short version

  • Only Odoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bling entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage; Odoo the free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan
