HR system cost
How much does an HR system on Odoo cost?
There is no single price. The cost depends on how many employees you have, which modules you need, which countries you operate in and what has to be built. This page explains what drives the price so you can compare quotes properly.
Get a scoped quoteWhat makes up the total cost
Think of three parts: the software licence, the implementation work and the running costs after go-live.
- Licence: Odoo is licensed by edition and number of users. Odoo publishes its current prices and they change, so check its official pricing page rather than relying on a figure here
- Implementation: configuration, localization, data migration, integrations and training
- Running costs: hosting, support and later changes
What increases the price
These are the factors that move a quote up or down.
- More employees and more modules
- Country-specific payroll rules, especially when you operate in more than one country
- Integrations such as biometric devices and bank salary files
- Data migration from Excel or an old system
- Custom development, such as an employee portal or special reports
- Hosting that allows custom modules, such as Odoo.sh
How to compare quotes
Ask every vendor to put the same things in writing, otherwise prices cannot be compared.
- Which modules and which countries are included
- What is configuration and what is custom development
- Whether data migration, training and post-launch support are included or extra
- Which Odoo edition and hosting the quote assumes
- Who owns and maintains any custom code
How HRPrimes works
Our approach is discovery, configuration, data migration and integrations, a parallel payroll run, then Arabic training and support. Tell us your employee count, countries, modules and attendance devices when you book the demo, and we will scope it with you.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I start with fewer modules to keep the cost down?
Yes. Most clients start with Employees, Attendance, Time Off and Payroll, then add Recruitment, Appraisals and the portal later. Each module works on its own.
Is a standalone HR tool cheaper than an ERP?
It can be cheaper to start, but HR that is not connected to accounting means re-typing payroll into the books. Compare the total cost, including that manual work.
Is the employee portal part of the standard price?
The portal is a custom SoftPrimes development on Odoo and needs hosting that allows custom modules, such as Odoo.sh, so it is part of the scope discussion rather than a standard module.
