People bring Apache OFBiz in for a systems integrator building a vertical industry product on a permissively licensed erp core it can redistribute commercially, an organisation with strong java capability that needs an order and inventory data model it can extend rather than configure, a business that requires a permissive apache 2.0 licence because gpl copyleft is unacceptable to its legal team, a team replacing a bespoke in-house order management system that wants an entity model rather than a finished application. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Apache OFBiz are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

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 Apache OFBiz badges page.
Before you pay for Apache OFBiz
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.
Apache OFBiz runs on web, linux, windows, macos, self-hosted, and is published by Apache Software Foundation of Wilmington, Delaware, United States. The full record is on the Apache OFBiz review, and the rest of the category is under best erp tools.
