Which one is for you
Pick Odoo CRM if
- Fits if you want a free CRM for a team without counting users
- Works for businesses that plan to run sales, invoicing and inventory in one suite later on
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you need just one more app, because adding it moves the whole database to Standard
- Pricey if you want Odoo Studio, the external API or your own hosting, which belong to Custom at $61.00
- Not for you if you want one fixed price, as Odoo sets prices by country
- 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
Pick Rework if
- Fits if you want sales and marketing tools sized by usage rather than by seat
- Works for small teams that fit inside 5 seats
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you grow: each engine includes 5 seats, and more come in blocks of 5 at $21 a month
- Pricey if you go over a limit, since you are billed at the plan size that covers it
- Watch out: AI credits beyond the monthly amount cost $20 per 1,000
- Not for you if you need SSO or Agent Flows, which need the Advanced edition
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAOdoo CRMGood | 2.0GPAReworkFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CStandard is $31.10 a user a month on yearly billing in the US price list, which is the dear end of ordinary for this category, against a $24 middle. It does unlock every Odoo app rather than just CRM. Odoo Studio and the external API need Custom at $61.00, and Odoo sets prices by country. | B$69 a month for 5 seats on yearly billing, about $14 a head, inside the category's cheaper quarter. It is the smallest size, and over-limit months are billed at the size that covers usage. |
| Free plan and trial | AOne app is free on Odoo Online for unlimited users with no time limit, and CRM can be that app. No other CRM here gives a whole team a free plan with no seat count. Install any second app, though, and the database moves to a paid plan. | FNo free plan and no trial on record, so the first step is a demo or a quote. |
| Features | BA Kanban pipeline with expected revenue per stage, scheduled calls and meetings, email, live chat, SMS and VoIP in one place, AI lead scoring, automatic lead assignment, forecasts and dashboards. It covers the CRM job, with the external API and Studio kept for the $61 plan. | CA sales pipeline, quotes, orders and invoices, a shared inbox, lead capture and ads, and add-on apps. Agent Flows and SSO need the Advanced edition. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. The free plan runs on Odoo Online with nothing to install and the pipeline is cards you drag, but this is a suite with stages, automation rules and a sales script to configure, and hosting it yourself needs the Custom plan. | CNo store rating on record. You set up modules, usage sizes and channels. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with no desktop app. Email, SMS and VoIP are built in, but the integration list on our listing is Odoo's own apps and nothing else, and the external API comes only with Custom. | BWeb, with Meta, Google, TikTok and LinkedIn ad links. No desktop or phone app is listed. |
| Best for | a free CRM that can grow into a whole suite | sales and marketing apps on one usage-sized plan |

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.
