What you give up vs Pipedrive

  • Many polished features (advanced CRM tooling) push you toward the paid Enterprise edition
  • Community Edition UI and modules are deliberately limited
  • Self-hosting the full stack is heavy and complex
  • Upgrades between major versions can be painful

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Odoo (CRM) on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Pipedrive: per-user fees for every feature tier).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (LGPL-3.0).
