The short version

  • Only Dolibarr has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Comarch no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any product line; the only route to cost is a Kontakt z konsultantem (Consultant Contact) request for a quote; Dolibarr the core is deliberately shallow, so a serious requirement such as advanced manufacturing, EDI or a specific payment gateway usually means buying a DoliStore module from a third-party author, and the quality and maintenance of those modules varies widely.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Comarch

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any product line; the only route to cost is a Kontakt z konsultantem (Consultant Contact) request for a quote
  • The ERP line is split across three separately scaled products (Optima for SMBs, XL, Enterprise) with no published criteria distinguishing which a given company should quote

Dolibarr

  • The core is deliberately shallow, so a serious requirement such as advanced manufacturing, EDI or a specific payment gateway usually means buying a DoliStore module from a third-party author, and the quality and maintenance of those modules varies widely.
  • Accounting was designed around French practice, and the chart of accounts, VAT model and fiscal exports need real work to satisfy accountants in the United States, the UK or Australia.
  • The interface is functional rather than designed and shows its age against Odoo, which makes internal adoption harder when staff are comparing it to consumer-grade software.
  • Upgrades between major versions can break paid third-party modules, because module authors update on their own schedules and there is no guarantee your combination will work on version 24 the day it ships.
  • Support is community forums unless you buy a partner contract, and the documentation is a wiki of uneven quality with substantial parts written in French, so English-only teams hit dead ends.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Comarch: How much does Comarch cost?

Comarch does not publish pricing online. The company offers enterprise ERP solutions like Comarch ERP Enterprise, Comarch ERP XL, and Comarch ERP Optima. Pricing is determined through custom quotes based on organization size and specific requirements. Contact Comarch sales at (12) 646 1000 or through their consultant contact form to request a quote.

Source
Dolibarr: Is Dolibarr genuinely free?

Yes. The full application is GPL with no user limit and no paid edition of the core. You pay only for hosting, optional DoliStore modules and optional partner support.

Comarch: What is Comarch's pricing model?

Comarch uses a quote-based pricing model tailored to enterprise customers. The company does not offer self-serve pricing or standardized subscription tiers. Customers must request personalized pricing from the sales team based on their deployment requirements.

Source
Dolibarr: Can it run on shared hosting?

Yes, that is its main practical advantage. It needs only PHP and MySQL or MariaDB, so an ordinary cPanel account is enough.

Dolibarr: How does it compare to Odoo?

Odoo is deeper and better presented but its useful modules are in the paid Enterprise edition and it needs a proper deployment. Dolibarr is thinner but free end to end and far easier to host.

Dolibarr: Does it handle UK or US accounting?

Not comfortably out of the box. The accounting module reflects French conventions and needs configuration and often a local module to satisfy an accountant elsewhere.
