Odoo
Business app suite whose Accounting app is free when used on its own
Which one is for you
Pick Bukku if
- Fits if you run a Malaysian company and need LHDN e-Invoice
- Works for online sellers on Shopee or Lazada
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're past 6 months old, because the free Launch plan is for new companies only
- Pricey if you grow: the plan is set by turnover, up to RM135 and past
- Watch out: SST support and multiple currencies are RM12 a month each on Seed and Grow
- Watch out: prices exclude 8% SST, and no mobile app is listed
Pick Odoo if
- Fits if you want double-entry books with your whole team in them and no other Odoo app
- Works for businesses that need their country's taxes and e-invoicing set up for them
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you add a second app, as every user then pays per month, your accountant included
- Watch out: the advertised paid prices last 12 months, then renew at $31.10 or $61 a user a month, billed yearly
- Skip it if you want something to learn in an afternoon: it's a big system, and implementation help is sold separately
- Tight if you scan lots of bills or send texts, since both use credits bought on top
- Pricey if you need the API, Studio or several companies on a paid plan, as they all mean Custom at $61 a user a month

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.
