Free and Paid Apps
Most of the Apps in store are free (76%). The amount of paid apps is growing and is now about 24%. The share of paid apps was 15% in the beginning of 2017. It has grown from 15% to 24% in a year.
The prices range from less than one Euro to almost 8000 Euros. Odoo SA company is clearly on the way to build a platform also for paid apps. Currently the total sales on Odoo App Store platform is marginal, only about 60 000 Euros per month. There has been not much growth in the sales value during the last months. You can see the sales value statistics in the App Store.
If you have business needs for features or extensions that are common with other businesses, and Odoo does not support them out-of-the-box, you can check from Odoo App Store if there is already an app for that. It makes a huge difference to be able to buy a ready-made module compared to developing it on your own or with an Odoo partner.
