GUIDE · UPDATED JULY 2026

Anyone quoting a price before seeing your processes is guessing. But ranges are honest: here's what real projects cost in 2026, what moves the number up or down, and where companies overspend.
Add hosting (≈900–2,600 €/year on a cloud VPS for most SMEs) and, on Enterprise only, licences of 29.90–37.40 € per user per month. Implementation effort is the same for both editions – see the edition cost comparison.
In order: custom development, integrations to other systems, the state of your data, module count, and training scope. User count barely moves implementation cost. The cheapest requirement is the one you drop – a good partner's first job is talking you out of customisations that standard workflows already solve.
Western-European agencies: roughly 90–150 €/hour. Central-European teams with identical certifications: 60–100 €/hour. We work from Bratislava at Central-European rates for clients across the EU – same Odoo, same OCA, lower burn rate.
Three places: rebuilding their old system's quirks inside Odoo instead of adopting standard flows; migrating ten years of dirty historical data nobody will query; and big-bang scopes where phase two would have been cheaper after six months of real usage. All three are scope decisions, not technology costs.
Your team's time – key users spend real hours in workshops, testing and data cleaning; plan for it or the project slips. And ongoing support: budget roughly 15–20% of implementation cost per year for changes, questions and small improvements.
