The short version

  • Only Odoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Bloomerang pricing is based on the number of constituent records tracked, so the bill grows with the database rather than with usage; Odoo the free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan
  • They diverge on capability: Bloomerang covers Donor database management, Odoo covers Sales management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

  • Standard runs $13.50 to $16.90 per user per month and Custom $20.40 to $25.50, both quoted with a yearly discount applied
  • Implementation services and custom development are not included in any plan
