- Partner rates: about $125-$145/hr implied by Odoo Success Pack prices
- Timeline: 80% of Success Pack projects live within 200 hours
Success Packs (US, new-customer price): Starter 4h $493; Basic 25h $3,060; Standard 50h $5,950; Custom 100h $10,625; Pro 200h $21,250 (Odoo, 2026-08-09). Above 50 users Odoo asks for an in-depth analysis; our $25K-$100K large-company band is an assumption, not a cited figure.
Where the hours go
| Phase | What drives the cost |
|---|---|
| Discovery and design | Process mapping, requirements, solution design, SOW sign-off |
| Configuration | Chart of accounts, dimensions, workflows, roles, approvals |
| Data migration | Master data plus open transactions; each year of history adds cost |
| Integrations | Ecommerce, CRM, payroll, banking, EDI - usually the #1 overrun |
| Customization and reports | Scripts, custom fields, saved searches, financial reports |
| Training and UAT | Key-user training, test scripts, parallel close |
| Go-live and hypercare | 2-6 weeks of post-launch support |

- Integration list with the connector or middleware named and who supports it after go-live
- Number of custom reports, scripts and workflows included
- Training hours and format; UAT ownership
- Hypercare length and post-go-live support rate
- Change-order rate and approval process

Frequently asked questions
How much does Odoo implementation cost?
Odoo sells implementation in prepaid Success Packs: 25 hours for $3,600, 50 hours for $7,000, 100 hours for $12,500 and 200 hours for $25,000, with 15% off a new customer’s first pack; Odoo says 80% of projects in scope go live within 200 hours (odoo.com, captured 2026-08-09).
What makes Odoo implementations go over budget?
Integrations, data-migration scope (years of history, data cleanup) and custom scripts or reports are the usual overruns. Pin each down in the SOW with a fixed fee or not-to-exceed cap.
Should I pay fixed fee or time and materials?
Fixed fee shifts overrun risk to the partner but only covers what the SOW names; T&M is flexible but needs a cap. Most buyers get a fixed fee for discovery, then a capped build.
