A dash means the vendor has not published a feature list — which is not the same as the feature being unavailable.
How they handle UK obligations
Checked against the vendor's own documentation or HMRC's published list. A dash means we have not verified it — never that it is missing.

Rungs are matched by position in each vendor’s own line-up, not by what the tiers include — an entry plan on one side may cover more than the other. Prices exclude VAT unless stated, and per-seat plans are quoted per seat. Always confirm on the vendor’s own site.
Which should you choose?
Two answers, because there are two right ones depending on what you need.
Choose Sage 200 if
- It lists 11 features Odoo does not, including business intelligence reporting.
- It covers more of the UK obligations we check — 2 of them against 1.
Choose Odoo if
- There is a free tier you can stay on, which Sage 200 does not offer.
- It lists 11 features Sage 200 does not, including accounting with uk vat and mtd.
Sage 200 is a proven UK mid market ERP delivered through partners, while Odoo is a flexible open source platform where you switch on only the apps you need. Odoo is cheaper and more flexible but needs more configuration, Sage 200 more structured with stronger UK partner support. Weigh flexibility against implementation effort.
