FAQ

ERPNext vs Odoo: common questions.

Is ERPNext better than Odoo?
Both are capable open-source ERPs. ERPNext includes every module with no paid edition, while many Odoo features need a per-user Enterprise subscription.
Is ERPNext fully free?
The software is free and open source under GPL v3. You pay for implementation, hosting and support.
Can we migrate from Odoo to ERPNext?
Yes. Masters, balances and open documents are migrated, and needed customisations are rebuilt as Frappe apps.
Which is easier to customise?
Frappe's low-code DocTypes and workflows make many changes possible without heavy development, and deeper changes go into a separate app.
