ADempiere plans, side by side

People bring ADempiere in for a manufacturer in latin america with an existing adempiere consulting partner that needs localised tax and accounting behaviour a global vendor will not build, a company that wants to modify erp screens and document workflows without a vendor change request, using the application dictionary rather than code, an organisation with a hard requirement to keep financial data on its own servers under its own control with no cloud dependency, a systems integrator building a vertical erp product on a permissive base it can fork and ship without paying a licence fee. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to ADempiere are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in ERP
Too few erp tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

| Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis) | On request | quote | - | vs ADempiere |

| Levelpath | On request | quote | - | vs ADempiere |
| Zycus | On request | quote | - | vs ADempiere |
| Axelor | Free, then $35/month | Per user per month | - | vs ADempiere |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the ADempiere badges page.
Before you pay for ADempiere
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
ADempiere runs on web, windows, macos, linux, self-hosted, and is published by ADempiere community project of Distributed, community governed. The full record is on the ADempiere review, and the rest of the category is under best erp tools.
