Odoo App Selector

Which Odoo Apps Does Your Business Actually Need?

Odoo ships dozens of apps and most businesses need eight to twelve of them. Pick your industry, tick what you do, and the selector builds your app stack, adds the apps Odoo installs anyway, tells you whether Odoo Community or Enterprise fits, and puts an indicative licence next to it. It runs in your browser and never asks for an email to show the result.

How It Works

How the Odoo App Selector Works

Pick an industry, or skip it

Each industry loads a starting stack we would propose on a first call: the apps most businesses in that sector run, nothing speculative. You can add or remove anything after.

Tick what your business does

Apps are grouped by function: finance, sales, website, inventory, manufacturing, services, people, marketing, documents. Tick an app and the selector adds the apps it depends on, with a note saying which app asked for it.

Read the verdict

You get the full app list, whether it runs on Community or needs Enterprise, the Odoo plan it lands on, and the licence for your user count. Email it to yourself, carry it into the cost estimator, or book a review.

We reply within 12 business hours with a written perspective and clear next steps. We only use your details to send your stack, no spam.

Community vs Enterprise

Which Odoo Apps Are Enterprise-Only?

Odoo Community is the open-source edition you host yourself, with no licence fee. Odoo Enterprise adds a set of apps on top, plus hosting, the mobile app, version upgrades and support through a per-user subscription. The split below is taken from where each module lives in the Odoo 19 source: the Community addons folder or the Enterprise folder.

The line that surprises most buyers is finance. Community includes Invoicing: customer invoices, vendor bills and payments. Full Accounting, with bank reconciliation, financial statements, budgets and asset management, is an Enterprise app. Community deployments usually fill that gap with modules from the Odoo Community Association (OCA).

The second surprise is services. Project and basic Timesheets are in Community, but Helpdesk, Field Service, Planning and Appointments are Enterprise. A services firm that wants ticketing or shift scheduling out of the box is an Enterprise customer.

Manufacturing sits in the middle. Bills of materials, manufacturing orders and work centers are Community. The shop floor tablet, quality checks inside work orders, PLM and the master production schedule are Enterprise.

Odoo Plans

Odoo Pricing Plans and What Moves You Between Them

$0 / user / month

Unlimited users

One app and its required apps, unlimited users, free for as long as you use one app.

Before You Decide

Five Mistakes Businesses Make When Choosing Odoo Apps

We review a lot of app lists before they become projects. These are the ones that cost time or money later.

Installing everything on day one

Every installed app adds menus, fields and settings your team has to learn. Start with the stack that replaces what you run today, go live, then add Helpdesk or Marketing Automation in a second phase when the basics are stable.

Confusing Invoicing with Accounting

Invoicing sends invoices and records payments. Accounting closes your books. If your accountant needs bank reconciliation and financial statements inside Odoo, you need the Enterprise Accounting app or an OCA-based Community setup, and that decision shapes the whole project.

Picking Odoo Online, then needing custom code

Odoo Online runs standard apps and Studio changes only. If your process needs a custom module, you need Odoo.sh or self-hosting, which is the Custom plan. Decide hosting and customization together, not one after the other.

Forgetting the apps that come along

Point of Sale brings Inventory. Subscriptions brings Accounting. Field Service brings Project and Timesheets. Those apps need configuration, training and data too, and they belong in the budget from the start.

Counting every employee as a user

Only people who work inside the Odoo backend need a licence. Shop floor staff on a tablet, drivers scanning deliveries and customers on the portal have different footprints, and the right setup can halve a licence bill.

Common Questions

Odoo App Selector FAQs

How do I know which Odoo apps I need?

Start from what you do, not from the app list. Sell and invoice: CRM, Sales and Invoicing. Hold stock: Inventory and Purchase. Make things: Manufacturing. Sell over a counter: Point of Sale. Bill time: Project and Timesheets. Pay staff: Employees and Payroll. The selector turns those answers into an app list and adds the apps Odoo installs alongside them.

What is the difference between an Odoo app and a module?

An app is a module Odoo flags as an application: it gets its own icon on the home screen, such as Sales or Inventory. Modules are the smaller building blocks, including the bridges Odoo installs automatically when two apps are present, such as the link between Sales and Inventory. Buyers choose apps; modules follow.

Which Odoo apps are only in Enterprise?

Of the apps in the selector, these are Enterprise-only in Odoo 19: Accounting, Documents, Sign, Knowledge, Helpdesk, Field Service, Planning, Appointments, Subscriptions, Rental, Quality, PLM, Shop Floor, Barcode, the shipping and marketplace connectors, Payroll, Appraisals, Approvals, Marketing Automation, Social Marketing, WhatsApp, VoIP, IoT and Studio. Everything else in the selector, including CRM, Sales, Invoicing, Inventory, Manufacturing, Point of Sale, Website, eCommerce, Project and the core HR apps, is in Community.

Does eCommerce need Inventory?

Not to install. eCommerce depends on Website, Sales and Invoicing. Inventory is optional, but if you ship physical products you will want it for stock levels, delivery orders and carrier labels, and Odoo links the two automatically once both are installed.

Is Odoo really free for one app?

Yes. Odoo's One App Free plan gives you one app, with its required apps, for unlimited users on Odoo Online, and Odoo states that the dependencies of that app are included. The moment you install a second app you move to the Standard plan.

How is the licence estimate calculated?

Internal users multiplied by the per-user price of the plan your choices land on: Standard for two or more apps on Odoo Online, Custom for Odoo.sh, self-hosting, Studio, multi-company or API access. The prices are Odoo's USD list prices and the date we read them is shown next to the figure. Odoo publishes local prices per country, so your invoice may differ.

Can I start small and add apps later?

Yes, and we recommend it. Odoo apps share one database, so adding Helpdesk or Manufacturing later does not mean a migration. Plan the order, though: an app added later still needs configuration, training and possibly data, and the licence price does not change with the number of apps.

Does the selector tell me what the implementation will cost?

No, it tells you which apps and which licence. Implementation is a separate, one-time cost that depends on customization, data migration and integrations. Use the button under your stack to carry it into our Odoo project estimator, which gives an indicative range, then a scoping call confirms the figure in writing.

Is the data in this tool up to date?

App names, editions and dependencies were checked against the Odoo 19 source code and re-checked against the Odoo 20 branch, where Field Service is being rebuilt on Planning. Prices carry the date they were read from odoo.com. If you spot something that has changed, tell us and we will correct it.
