The short version

  • Only Odoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Housecall Pro basic plan is $59/month annually (or $79/month without the annual commitment), and additional users are billed separately at $75 to $100/month depending on tier; Odoo the free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan
