iDempiere pricing
iDempiere publishes 2 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 31 August 2026, iDempiere pricing is free across 2 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

iDempiere plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| iDempiere | Free | 4 | Entry tier |
| Implementation partner | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.
iDempiere

Implementation partner
On requestOver iDempiere, this tier adds:

People bring iDempiere in for a distributor wants multi-organisation, multi-currency accounting and warehouse costing without a per-user erp licence that scales with headcount., an organisation that has been caught by an open core vendor moving features into a paid tier wants an erp with no company that can make that decision., a team needs heavy customisation of screens, fields and approval workflows that must survive version upgrades, which the application dictionary makes possible without forking., a public sector or university body in latin america or indonesia needs a locally supportable erp where the source and the implementation skills are both available in-country.. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to iDempiere 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.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iDempiere (this page) | Free | Open source, no licence fee | - | |
| Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis) | On request | quote | - | vs iDempiere |
| IFS Cloud | On request | quote | - | vs iDempiere |
| Levelpath | On request | quote | - | vs iDempiere |
| Zycus | On request | quote | - | vs iDempiere |
| Axelor | Free, then $35/month | Per user per month | - | vs iDempiere |
| Zip | On request | quote | - | vs iDempiere |
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 iDempiere badges page.
Before you pay for iDempiere
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: 2 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
iDempiere runs on web, self-hosted, docker, linux, windows, and is published by iDempiere community project of Distributed, no single corporate owner. The full record is on the iDempiere review, and the rest of the category is under best erp tools.
