The short version

  • Only Odoo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Odoo the free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan; Salesflare enterprise carries a five seat minimum, so its 99 dollar per user headline is really a 495 dollar monthly floor, and a three person team wanting the training and migration that tier includes still pays for five.
  • They diverge on capability: Odoo covers Sales management, Salesflare covers Automated data entry.
  • 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.

Odoo

  • The free plan is limited to one app, so any second module moves the whole account to a paid per user plan
  • Standard runs $13.50 to $16.90 per user per month and Custom $20.40 to $25.50, both quoted with a yearly discount applied
  • Implementation services and custom development are not included in any plan
  • Odoo.sh hosting is required for custom modules and is charged separately from the subscription
  • SMS credits and AI scanning are billed on top of the per user price

Salesflare

  • Enterprise carries a five seat minimum, so its 99 dollar per user headline is really a 495 dollar monthly floor, and a three person team wanting the training and migration that tier includes still pays for five.
  • Lead enrichment credits are metered and Growth includes only five a month, so any prospecting workflow effectively requires Pro or a credit top-up, priced from 39 dollars for two hundred and fifty.
  • The automation depends on connected mailboxes and calendars, so deals worked over phone, WhatsApp or in person leave large gaps in the timeline the product is meant to fill.
  • Email workflows, permissions and custom dashboards are all withheld from the entry Growth tier, which means most teams that evaluate on the 29 dollar price actually buy at 49 dollars.
  • It is built for B2B pipelines with named accounts and has little to offer high-volume B2C sales, field service dispatch or any process that is not a small number of relationship-led opportunities.
