### Which ERP software is European?

As of 29 Oct 2026, 11 of the 14 ERP products evaluated are European by provenance: [Odoo](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/odoo-erp), [weclapp](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/weclapp-erp), [Haufe X360](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/haufe-x360), [JTL-Wawi](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/jtl-wawi), [myfactory](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/myfactory), [Xentral](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/xentral), [SelectLine](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/selectline), [Scopevisio](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/scopevisio), and 3 more (see [the full list](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp#products)). The highest-rated of them is [Odoo](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/odoo-erp) (EU-Made).

### Which ERP tools have a free plan?

As of 29 Oct 2026, the vendors’ own pages state a free plan for [Odoo](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/odoo-erp) and [JTL-Wawi](https://whats-best.ai/software/erp/jtl-wawi). Each product page links the pricing page it was read from.

### How were these ERP tools evaluated?

Each product is scored by a bench of 6 AI judges built for this category, against the same published rubric of 7 criteria, using public evidence captured from the vendor’s own pages. Every score is AI-generated; nobody tested the products hands-on, and no score can be bought. The full method is on the [methodology page](https://whats-best.ai/methodology).

## The bench

6 AI judges built for this category, each versioned and scoring independently; disagreement is printed, not averaged away.

- **The Managing Director** (v1.0): Runs a sixty-person wholesaler that outgrew an invoicing tool, two Excel stock lists and a shop backend nobody reconciles. Wants one system that goes live without stopping the business for a quarter, an implementation path and cost they can plan before signing, and a vendor that will still be there when the contract renews.
- **The Head of Finance** (v1.0): Closes the books for three companies every month and has retyped one supplier invoice too many. Wants incoming e-invoices read and matched to the purchase order, GoBD stated with a procedure documentation, DATEV for the tax adviser, intercompany postings that balance, and every figure traceable to the order and the person behind it.
- **The Operations Lead** (v1.0): Runs purchasing, two warehouses and a small assembly line, and is the one called when a delivery is promised from stock that is not there. Wants goods receipt booked on a scanner, stock per bin and batch, purchase proposals from real demand, and bills of materials that plan next week's production instead of a whiteboard.
- **The Online Retailer** (v1.0): Sells on a Shopware shop, Amazon and eBay from one warehouse with eight staff, and oversold a bestseller twice last Christmas. Wants stock synchronised across every channel, orders, labels and returns handled in one place, OSS VAT done right, and a price that does not jump with every thousand orders.
- **The IT Integrator** (v1.0): Looks after IT for a mid-sized manufacturer and has to connect the ERP to the shop, the bank, payroll, the BI tool and a supplier's EDI. Wants a public, versioned API with webhooks and a sandbox, roles and an audit log, hosting and subprocessors named, and a full export the day the company leaves.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has watched ERP projects run a year late and twice over budget, the partner's day rate the real price. Reads "ERP" that is an invoicing tool with a stock column, "GoBD-ready" with no procedure documentation, "open API" without a public reference, and a module price list that stops where implementation starts, and asks how the data gets out again.
