FAQ

Orbiz vs Odoo: what people ask

Odoo has a free plan. Does Orbiz?

Odoo’s One App Free gives one app to unlimited users at no cost; adding a second app moves everyone to per-user pricing. Orbiz has no free plan. It offers a working organisation to evaluate before any commitment, and then one flat price per organisation for all ten tools.

Can Orbiz do our accounting?

No. Orbiz does payroll — timesheets to payslips, claims, loans, statutory contributions and settlements — but has no general ledger, invoicing or inventory. Odoo does; that is the row that decides it for many companies.

How customisable is Orbiz compared with Odoo Studio?

Orbiz is configured, not customised: leave policies, holiday calendars, roles, pay structures, tax tables, workflow definitions and asset types are all settings, but there is no low-code studio, no plugin system and no general-purpose external API — the one programmatic door is Orbiz MCP, which lets AI assistants act for a member with that member’s permissions. Odoo Studio and its API exist for teams that need to change the software itself.
