Frequently asked questions
Isn’t Odoo free?
Its “One App Free” plan is: one app (plus the apps it depends on), unlimited users. As soon as you combine several apps, you need the Standard plan: €24.90 per user per month, billed yearly.
Does the simulator include Odoo’s discount?
No. Odoo shows a 20% discount in the first year on the users of the initial order. We use the regular price, which applies from the second year.
Does my accountant count as a user?
With Odoo, yes, if they work in Odoo (per Odoo’s definition of a paying user). With Ordavena, they get dedicated read-only access, included like every user.
