Odoo's price list looks simple until you need multi-company, custom code or an external integration. Here is how the plans fit together and what puts you on each one.
Odoo ERP pricing in the UAE is a subscription charged per internal user, with all Enterprise apps included on paid plans and lower rates for yearly than monthly billing. Odoo offers a free one-app option, a Standard plan and a Custom plan; needs such as multi-company, Studio, the external API or Odoo.sh hosting move a company onto Custom.
Odoo ERP pricing in the UAE follows the same model Odoo uses worldwide: a subscription charged per internal user, with all Enterprise apps included once you are on a paid plan. Odoo shows prices in local currency for each country, offers a lower rate for yearly commitment than for monthly billing, and has run introductory discounts for the first year at various times. Because those figures change, we quote current numbers in writing rather than printing them here.
What confuses most buyers is not the per-user rate but the plan rules. Odoo has a free one-app option, a Standard plan and a Custom plan. Moving from Standard to Custom is triggered by specific needs, such as multi-company, Studio, the external API or hosting on Odoo.sh or your own servers. A Dubai holding company with a free zone subsidiary can find itself on Custom on day one without realizing why. Equally, a single-entity retailer in Ajman may pay for Custom when Standard would have covered everything it needs.
This page explains those rules. For the full multi-year budget, including implementation and support, read our Odoo ERP cost guide, and for the implementation fee itself see Odoo implementation cost.

Odoo.sh hosting is charged separately from the Custom plan subscription. Confirm current terms on Odoo's pricing page or with us.
These details let us, or any partner, give you an accurate subscription figure instead of a guess.
Work through these questions in order. The first yes usually settles the plan.
If you only need CRM or only Invoicing for now, One App Free can be a low-risk start. As soon as you add a second app, you move to a paid plan.
A mainland LLC and a free zone entity, or companies in different emirates under separate licences, need multi-company. That means the Custom plan.
Ecommerce stores, logistics portals and e-invoicing connectors often need the external API. If they do, plan for Custom.
If configuration and Odoo's standard apps cover your needs, Standard keeps cost down. If you need a custom module, you need Custom with Odoo.sh or on-premise hosting.
Yearly billing is usually cheaper per user, while monthly gives flexibility during a pilot. Many clients start monthly during implementation and switch at go-live. Ask whether any first-year promotional rate applies and what the renewal rate will be, so year two does not come as a shock.
Some UAE requirements affect which plan you need. Confirm tax obligations with your tax advisor.
UAE VAT tools in Odoo Accounting are available on paid plans. Plan choice does not change VAT support, but multi-entity VAT groups may push you to Custom for multi-company.
Qualifying Free Zone Persons often keep the free zone entity separate from mainland operations. Running both in one Odoo database needs multi-company, so price the Custom plan.
Exchanging PINT AE invoices with an Accredited Service Provider may rely on API access or a custom connector. Check this before choosing Standard, and check the latest Ministry of Finance and FTA guidance on mandate dates.
Payroll with the UAE localization is part of Enterprise, so it is available on Standard and Custom. Budget payroll users like any other internal user.

Ask an ExpertAnyone who logs in to the back end to work, such as sales, accounts or warehouse staff. Customers and suppliers using the portal, and employees who only use limited self-service features, generally do not need a paid licence; we check your exact case against Odoo's current terms.
You can adjust the user count at renewal. During a yearly term, adding users is easy, but reducing them usually waits until the next renewal date.
The subscription follows Odoo's price list. A partner quote adds implementation, migration, training and support, which are separate services.
No. The subscription covers software, hosting on Odoo Online and Odoo's support. Setup, data migration and training are priced separately by your implementation partner.
Yes. Upgrading the plan keeps your database and data intact. The usual trigger is adding a second company, connecting an external system through the API, or needing a custom module, so we flag those plans early to avoid a mid-year surprise.
VAT treatment of a foreign software subscription depends on how it is billed and your registration status. Your tax advisor should confirm the reverse-charge or VAT position for your company.
