Odoo is a serious open-source ERP. The catch in the Philippines is what you pay around it, partner hours, custom localization, hosting, upgrades. Boongon is hosted, PH-ready, and priced per user.
Odoo Community is free to download. The cost shows up in partner fees, custom modules, and the upgrade treadmill. Boongon has one bill: per user, per month.
