EA Core vs Odoo
We are an Odoo implementation partner and we also build EA Core, so this comparison is not selling you just one thing: you will see when Odoo is the right call, and when EA Core is cheaper and faster.
| EA Core | Odoo Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ✓ EGP subscription from 990/month per company (Business: 1,990 for 10 users), or a perpetual on-premise licence | ~ USD per user per month (about $7–9 Standard and $11–14 Custom in Egypt, billed yearly) + partner implementation |
| 10 users for a year | ✓ about EGP 19,900 (Business plan, yearly) | ~ about $870–1,630 subscription + hosting and implementation |
| Arabic | ✓ Arabic-first: screens, reports and printouts written in Egyptian Arabic | ✓ Arabic translation available; some terms and printouts need tuning |
| Egyptian e-invoicing | ✓ Built in: e-invoice and e-receipt | ~ E-invoice in recent Enterprise versions; e-receipt usually an add-on |
| Egyptian payroll | ✓ Social insurance, salary tax and martyrs fund ready | ~ Depends on version - often a module or customisation |
| Installments, sales reps, maintenance | ✓ Ready modules designed for Egypt | ~ Possible via store apps or development |
| Deployment | ✓ Cloud or your server; POS works offline | ✓ Cloud (Odoo Online / Odoo.sh) or on-premise |
| Ecosystem | ~ Core modules + what we build on request | ✓ Thousands of apps and a huge global community |
| Large / multi-country companies | ~ Built for Egyptian SMBs | ✓ Designed to scale across countries and currencies |
| Time to go live | ✓ Days: demo data and setup are ready | ~ Weeks to months depending on scope |
