  • Only Odoo Inventory has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Extensiv sold as separate products, including 3PL Warehouse Manager, Billing Manager, Integration Manager and the Small Parcel Suite, rather than one system; 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: Extensiv covers Omnichannel fulfillment, Odoo Inventory covers Inventory management.
