UK SOFTWARE PROFILE

Odoo

Odoo links sales, purchasing, inventory and accounting through configurable applications. Its Accounting application provides double-entry records and country-specific fiscal modules. Standard and Custom differ materially in external API and multi-company access. Document digitisation is metered separately, while the standard Ask AI assistant cannot change database records.

Evidence checked 20 Oct 2026 ยท Product-level research, not a hands-on review

Pricing & practicalities

Model your total cost โ†—

Published starting point

Request pricing

Standard / Custom ยท user/month plus services ยท quote billing
VAT basis not stated

Current pricing page could not be retrieved. Verify normal renewal pricing, hosting and implementation. Official docs confirm Custom is required for external API and Standard multi-company upgrades.

Check current price โ†—

Consider before choosing

  • External API requires Custom.
  • Standard multi-company activation triggers a Custom upgrade.
  • OCR consumes prepaid credits; implementation scope must be agreed.

Connected workflows

  • HMRC MTD VAT
  • UK Bacs
  • Polish KSeF
  • AvaTax
  • External JSON-2 API

Confirm the integration's direction, permissions, plan and sync behaviour with the supplier.

BEHIND THE AI CLAIM

AI capabilities

Ask AI works with application context; document digitisation extracts bill fields. Configured agents can receive tools and restricted sources.

Documented capabilities

  • Contextual draft assistance
  • Bill extraction
  • Configurable agents

Plans, limits & questions

  • Default Ask AI cannot change records.
  • OCR requires prepaid credits; one document uses one credit.
  • AI source restriction is not proof of complete permission inheritance.
