The short version

  • Only OpenBravo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Infor CloudSuite no price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form; OpenBravo the commercial product is a paid subscription despite the open source lineage, so buyers who assume open source means low cost find the licence conversation no different from any other vendor's.
  • They diverge on capability: Infor CloudSuite covers Financial management, OpenBravo covers Retail point of sale.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Infor CloudSuite

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form
  • Infor Velocity Suite is advertised as one flat fee but no amount is published
  • CloudSuite runs on Amazon Web Services only, with no other cloud or on premises option stated on the page
  • Functionality is packaged as industry specific CloudSuites rather than one general ERP product

OpenBravo

  • The commercial product is a paid subscription despite the open source lineage, so buyers who assume open source means low cost find the licence conversation no different from any other vendor's.
  • Development focus has narrowed towards retail commerce, so a buyer wanting a general purpose ERP for manufacturing or services is choosing a product whose investment is going somewhere else.
  • The community around the horizontal ERP is much quieter than it once was, so independent documentation, forum answers and third party modules are sparse and you are dependent on the vendor and its partners in practice.
  • The partner network is small and concentrated in particular regions, which limits your choice of implementer and leaves you exposed if the one available partner in your country is unavailable or underperforms.
  • Extending the platform requires Java and SQL skills specific to its framework, so customisation means hiring or contracting developers for a niche stack, and a heavily modified installation becomes yours to maintain across upgrades.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Infor CloudSuite: Is pricing published for Infor CloudSuite?

No. The product page does not disclose specific pricing, tiers, or costs. For the Infor Velocity Suite component, a single flat fee structure is mentioned, but no actual amount is stated.

Source
OpenBravo: Is Openbravo free?

The lineage is open source and source code is available, but the commercial retail product is sold as a subscription. Treat it as commercial software with an open codebase rather than as free software with paid support.

Infor CloudSuite: How do you get pricing information for CloudSuite?

Customers must contact the Infor sales team directly via the Contact Us link on the website. The company does not publish pricing online.

Source
OpenBravo: Can I still use it as a general ERP?

The horizontal capability exists in the architecture, but the commercial attention is on retail. If you are not a retailer, you would be relying on parts of the product that are not where investment is going.

Infor CloudSuite: Does CloudSuite use a per-seat or flat-fee model?

For the Infor Velocity Suite subset, a flat-fee model is mentioned with the phrase 'one flat fee, no matter where you're starting from.' However, the broader CloudSuite pricing structure is not specified publicly.

Source
OpenBravo: What skills do I need in-house?

Java and SQL for anything beyond configuration, plus familiarity with the module framework. If you have no development capacity and no intention to acquire any, the open codebase gives you nothing you will use.

OpenBravo: How do I judge the implementation risk?

By the partner, and specifically by whether there is more than one credible partner in your country. A single available implementer is a concentration risk that should be reflected in your contract terms.
