The short version

  • Only OpenBravo has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Omie specific plan pricing not listed; pricing varies based on company size and revenue; 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.
  • 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.

Omie

  • Specific plan pricing not listed; pricing varies based on company size and revenue
  • Pricing model defined as 'conforme o porte e o faturamento da empresa' (based on company size and revenue)
  • Offered in Portuguese only with Portuguese pricing

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

Omie: How much does Omie cost?

Omie ERP pricing is determined based on company size and revenue rather than fixed tiers. Specific plan prices are not listed on the website; contact a consultant for pricing based on your business needs.

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.

Omie: Does Omie offer a free trial?

Yes, Omie offers a 7-day free trial at R$0.00 with no credit card required. The trial includes cloud-based system access, premium customer support, and full access to core features with quick cancellation available anytime.

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.

Omie: What is included in the Omie free trial?

The 7-day free trial includes a 100% online cloud-based system, premium customer support, simple online contracting, and full access to core features without credit card requirements.

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.
