Licensed per app

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is Microsoft's family of business apps. It includes Business Central for small and mid-size businesses, Finance and Supply Chain Management for large enterprises, and Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service for CRM.

Dynamics 365 is sold and implemented through Microsoft partners. Each app is licensed per user per month, so a business that needs ERP and CRM pays for more than one product.

Where Dynamics 365 falls short

ERP, CRM and other apps are licensed separately.
Website and eCommerce need extra products or add-ons.
Connecting separate Dynamics apps adds setup and upkeep.

Odoo vs Dynamics 365 Business Central, Finance and Sales

Your path to Odoo depends on which Dynamics 365 apps you run today. Here is what we see most often.

Coming from Business Central

Odoo covers finance, sales, purchasing, stock and manufacturing in one system.
CRM, website and eCommerce come built in instead of as separate products.
Master data, open balances and history move across in tested loads.
Teams usually find Odoo quicker to learn and change day to day.

Coming from Finance and Supply Chain or Dynamics 365 Sales

Odoo is a lighter, lower-cost platform for mid-size companies on enterprise Dynamics.
Sales and ERP on one database, so the CRM-to-ERP link goes away.
Multi-company, multi-currency and inter-company flows run in one Odoo database.
Industry-specific processes are built as Odoo modules instead of heavy custom code.

On Microsoft 365

Leaving Dynamics 365 does not mean leaving Microsoft. Odoo connects to Outlook for email and calendar, and to Teams and other Microsoft tools through integrations.

On Odoo editions

Odoo Community is free and open source. Odoo Enterprise adds apps, mobile access and official support, and is the edition most companies leaving Dynamics choose. We help you pick the right plan.

Why Companies Move From Dynamics 365 to Odoo

Companies moving off Dynamics 365 want one subscription, fewer integrations and a system they can change without AL development.

Odoo vs Dynamics 365: Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from businesses moving from Dynamics 365 to Odoo.

Is Odoo better than Dynamics 365?

For small, mid-size and growing businesses, yes. Odoo gives you CRM, accounting, inventory, manufacturing, website, eCommerce and HR in one system with all apps on one plan. Dynamics 365 licenses each app separately, so running ERP and CRM together costs more and needs more setup.

Odoo vs Business Central: which is better for a mid-size business?

Odoo. It covers the same finance, sales, purchasing and stock work as Business Central, and adds CRM, website and eCommerce on the same database. You can start with a few apps and add more without buying new products.

Odoo CRM vs Dynamics 365 Sales: what is the difference?

Dynamics 365 Sales is a separate CRM app that connects to your ERP. Odoo CRM is part of the ERP, so a won opportunity becomes a quote, sales order, delivery and invoice in the same system.

Does Odoo work with Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams?

Yes. Odoo connects to Outlook for email and calendar, and to Teams and other Microsoft tools through integrations. Our Odoo integration services cover any custom connections you need.

How do you migrate from Dynamics 365 to Odoo?

We map your Dynamics processes and data, configure Odoo, then move master data, open balances and the history you need. Every load is tested on a copy before go-live, and teams are trained app by app. See our Odoo migration services for details.

Does Odoo support GST and e-invoicing in India like Dynamics 365?

Yes. Odoo's India localization supports GST returns including GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, e-invoicing with IRN and QR code, e-way bills, and TDS and TCS. We confirm which of these your Odoo edition and plan include during setup.

Can Odoo handle multiple companies and branches like Dynamics 365?

Yes. Odoo supports multi-company, multi-currency and inter-company transactions, so groups with several entities or branches can run on one database. These features are part of Odoo's Custom plan.
