Daftra vs Odoo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Daftra if

• Fits if you want accounting, stock and HR in one place in Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Jordan
• Works for shops that need cloud POS on unlimited devices

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $30 against $20 billed yearly
• Watch out: price lists and memberships need Advanced at $41.25
• Watch out: SMS, time tracking and manufacturing need Premium at $50
• Watch out: extra warehouses and some limits cost extra per month
• Watch out: payment gateway fees aren't in the plans

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

Daftra

• Price lists, memberships and lease contracts need Advanced; SMS, time tracking and manufacturing need Premium.

• Online payment gateway fees and other third-party charges are not included in plans.

Odoo

• Odoo is a wider suite: a second app moves you to a paid plan priced per user for every app, and on paid plans Studio or several companies mean Custom.
• The advertised prices are a 12-month discount for the users first ordered; plans then renew at $31.10 or $61 a user a month, billed yearly.
• Every backend user pays, including an outside accountant and staff who log expenses; limited-access employees can be $8.90 Light Users via an advisor.
• Not included: implementation services, Odoo.sh hosting, and in-app credits for text messages and AI bill scanning.
