A. Licensing and Core Features:

1. Open Source and Free: Dolibarr is released under the GPLv3 license, meaning it’s free to use for the core ERP and CRM functionalities.

1. There are no costs for the core features, so the initial development setup is low.

B. Customization:

1. Customization Needs: Dolibarr is highly customizable, but the complexity of customization can vary.

1. Custom development can be moderate in cost, as Dolibarr uses PHP and MySQL, which are generally easier and cheaper to work with.
2. Development Time: For basic customizations, the development cost is low to moderate.
3. For more complex features like custom UI or advanced reports, the cost could rise but remains lower than other platforms like Odoo.

C. Third-Party Modules:

1. Add-ons from the official Dolistore are typically inexpensive, but many are paid. The cost depends on the module.
