Before you decide

Common questions

Is Odoo good for small manufacturers in India?

How much does Odoo cost for a 5-person manufacturing team?

Odoo Standard costs around ₹20,780/month for 5 users, plus implementation (₹50K–₹2L) and partner support (₹50K/year). Total first-year cost can exceed ₹3,00,000. FactoStack is ₹999–₹1,999/month flat with no per-user fees.

Can I use FactoStack with Tally instead of Odoo?
