- Watch out: business account fees apply, with card top-ups at 0.7% plus €0.12
- Watch out: 10 or more employees means a sales-led PME offer with no listed price
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only the 15-day trial
Pick Odoo CRM if

- Watch out: implementation, Odoo.sh hosting, SMS and lead generation credits all cost extra
- Watch out: Standard's $24.90 first-year rate is for the initial users only, then it's $31.10, or $38.90 monthly

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
