Two choices every new Odoo client makes: which version and where it runs.
Which version
Odoo ships a new version every year. Our standard:
- For new implementations: always the latest version (V18 at the time of writing). That keeps you 3+ years with no mandatory upgrade.
- For migrations from an old version: if you’re on V14 or older, we go straight to the latest, not to an intermediate version first.
Where it runs
Three options:
Odoo Online (SaaS)
Good for: small teams (up to ~20 users) that want no custom work and a fixed monthly price. No IT worries, but less flexibility too.
Odoo.sh
Our standard recommendation for SMEs. Cloud-hosted by Odoo, but you keep full control over modules, custom code and deployments. Staging environment included.
Self-hosted
For companies with specific compliance requirements (healthcare, finance, defence) or that explicitly want on-prem. We do this too, but it’s rare.
What we usually do
For 80% of our clients: latest version, on Odoo.sh. It gives the best balance of flexibility, cost and ease.
