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; Yonyou no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo

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

Yonyou

No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo
Product selection depends on company size tier (large enterprise, growth stage, small/micro) rather than a single scalable plan, so buyers must first identify which of the three separately branded products applies to them
