Short answer
Odoo announced its first price increase in about four years at Odoo Experience on 24 September 2026. The Custom plan rises by around 20%, while the Standard plan and the free One App plan stay the same. In the UK, Custom now lists at £41 per user per month (£32 in the first year) and Standard at £22 (£18 in the first year). Odoo also introduced a new light user at £7 per user per month.
Key takeaways
- The increase applies to the Custom plan; Standard and One App Free are unchanged.
- UK list prices are now £22 for Standard and £41 for Custom per user per month, billed annually.
- Odoo cited cumulative inflation of 26% and higher salary and hosting costs.
- Existing customers move towards list price at renewal, with increases capped by the subscription agreement; new users are added at the current list price.
- The new £7 light user can offset the increase for businesses with large operational teams.
If you run Odoo on the Custom plan, your next renewal is likely to cost more. Odoo has announced a price increase on its top plan, alongside the launch of Odoo 20 and a new, cheaper user type. Here is what changed, who is affected and what you can do about it.
What did Odoo announce?
At Odoo Experience in Brussels on 24 September 2026, founder and CEO Fabien Pinckaers announced a partial price increase of around 20%, the first in about four years. Odoo linked the change to cumulative inflation of 26% over that period and higher salary and hosting costs, as well as investment in AI.
- Custom plan: up by around 20%.
- Standard plan: unchanged.
- One App Free: still free for a single app with unlimited users.
- New light user: a lower-cost user type for self-service and front-line work.
New Odoo prices in the UK
At the time of writing, Odoo’s UK pricing page shows the following prices per user per month, billed annually and excluding VAT:
| Plan | First year | List price from year two | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| One App Free | £0 | £0 | One app, unlimited users |
| Standard | £18 | £22 | All apps on Odoo Online |
| Custom | £32 | £41 | All apps, Studio, multi-company, external API, Odoo.sh or on-premise |

The first-year price is a discount on the users you order initially, valid for 12 months. Budget at list price from year two. Odoo.sh hosting is charged separately. Prices vary by country and are set by Odoo, so confirm them on your own quote. Our UK Odoo pricing guide covers the plans in more detail.
Who is affected?
Custom plan customers
You need the Custom plan for Odoo Studio, the external API, multi-company setups, and Odoo.sh or on-premise hosting. Most businesses with integrations, custom modules or several legal entities are on Custom, so they will feel the increase.
Standard plan customers
Your per-user price does not change. If you have been considering a move to Custom for Studio or integrations, factor the new list price into that decision.
New customers
New subscriptions are quoted at the current prices, with the first-year discount on initial users.
What happens at renewal?
Odoo’s Enterprise Subscription Agreement allows renewal charges to increase by up to 7% per year of the previous term when you sit below the current list price, rather than jumping straight to the new list price. Users added during the term are charged at the list price that applies when you add them. Running a version that is no longer covered by Odoo’s standard support can also attract an additional fee, so staying current matters.
Check your renewal date, your current per-user rate and how many users you expect to add over the next year. That gives you a realistic budget rather than a surprise invoice.
Five ways to manage your Odoo licence cost
- Check you need Custom. If you do not use Studio, the external API, multi-company or Odoo.sh, Standard may be enough. If you do, keep them; moving down can break integrations.
- Use light users. Staff who only book leave, record attendance, claim expenses, scan stock or log in to a till may qualify for the £7 Odoo light user.
- Audit active users. Archive leavers and shared logins, and review who still needs access.
- Bill annually. Annual billing is cheaper per user than monthly.
- Stay on a supported version. A planned Odoo upgrade keeps you covered and gives you access to Odoo 20 features such as light users.
Is Odoo still good value?
For most growing businesses, yes. One subscription still covers CRM, sales, inventory, manufacturing, accounting, HR and more on one database, which usually replaces several separate tools and the integrations between them. The increase is a reason to review how you use Odoo, not a reason to panic. The bigger savings usually come from using the system well: fewer manual workarounds, cleaner processes and the right user mix.
