The short version

  • Only Dolibarr has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; OnePageCRM the Next Action requirement is enforced, not optional, so teams that want a passive contact database will fight the product and adoption stalls.
  • They diverge on capability: Dolibarr covers Module toggles, OnePageCRM covers Next Action enforcement.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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.

OnePageCRM

  • The Next Action requirement is enforced, not optional, so teams that want a passive contact database will fight the product and adoption stalls.
  • Monthly billing costs roughly 50 per cent more than annual at every tier, so evaluating without committing to a year carries a real premium.
  • There is no marketing automation, quoting or service desk, so a growing company will bolt on two or three other subscriptions and eventually consider consolidating onto a suite.
  • Sending is capped at 1,000 emails a day even on the top plan, which rules out using it as the outbound sending tool for larger campaigns.
  • The integration catalogue is small next to HubSpot, Salesforce or Zoho, so anything unusual goes through Zapier, adding both cost and a failure point.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

OnePageCRM: Is there a free plan?

No, only a trial. Every tier is paid, though contacts and deals are unlimited on all of them.

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.

OnePageCRM: How much cheaper is annual billing?

Substantially. Professional is $9.95 per user per month annually against $15 monthly, and Max is $29.95 against $45, which the vendor describes as four months free.

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.

OnePageCRM: Does it charge by contact count?

No. Contacts, deals, custom fields and tags are unlimited at every tier, which is unusual and matters for teams with large lists.

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.

OnePageCRM: Can it replace a marketing automation tool?

No. It sends bulk email with a daily cap and does not do campaign automation, landing pages or scoring. Pair it with a mailing platform.
