04Facts
Odoo work from Egypt: what to know
- Odoo partners in Egypt
- 211 in Odoo’s directory on 4 November 2026: 22 Gold, 58 Silver and 131 Ready.
- Hours
- Cairo is one hour ahead of Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris for most of the year, one hour behind Riyadh in winter and level with it in summer.
- All-in rates
- At GrowAxis’s 2026 rates: mid level about $2,720 a month, junior about $1,500, senior about $6,940; pay, social insurance, equipment and management included.
- Employment
- GrowAxis employs the developers under Egypt’s Labour Law 14 of 2025, so you need no company in Egypt.
- Odoo 20
- Released in September 2026, with standard support planned until September 2029.
- Older versions
- Standard support for Odoo 17.0 ended in September 2026, and for Odoo 18.0 it is planned to end in September 2027. Extended support after that costs extra, runs only on Odoo.sh or on-premise, and brings no security updates.
- Upgrade window
- You can upgrade from any version to a major version still in standard support, or to one that left it less than six months ago.
- What the Odoo subscription leaves out
- Odoo’s plans exclude implementation services and the maintenance of custom code. Custom developments need the Custom plan, and hosting custom modules on Odoo.sh is billed separately.
- A published agency rate
- ECOSIRE, an Odoo services firm, charges $75 an hour for extra development hours, and its monthly support plans start at $1,499.

07FAQ
Odoo developers in Egypt: what founders ask first.
At GrowAxis’s 2026 rates, about $2,720 a month for a mid-level developer, $1,500 for a junior and $6,940 for a senior, all in: pay, social insurance, equipment and management.
Yes. Partners add GrowAxis developers to their delivery team for a project or for as long as they need them, working in the partner’s process and with its clients, while GrowAxis employs them in Egypt.
Yes. The developers work on Egypt’s ETA e-invoices and e-receipts and Saudi Arabia’s ZATCA phase 2 inside Odoo accounting, as part of your project.
Cairo is one hour ahead of Central Europe for most of the year and close to Gulf hours, so the working day overlaps fully. For the US and Canada, a Cairo afternoon shift overlaps the East Coast morning.
No. GrowAxis is the employer in Egypt, so you don’t need an entity, a local bank account or a payroll provider there.
The developers work in your repositories, servers and accounts, with the access you give them. For personal data from the EU the contract adds a GDPR transfer basis, such as the standard contractual clauses. In Egypt, Law 151 of 2020 applies, and since 1 November 2026 companies there that handle personal data need a licence.
The version you run, and the move to a newer one. Odoo 20 came out in September 2026, Odoo 17 left standard support that month, and Odoo 18 leaves it in September 2027, so many custom modules need upgrading.
No. Odoo’s plans leave out implementation services and the maintenance of custom code, and custom developments need the Custom plan. A partner or your own developers do that work.
Odoo says companies with more than 50 employees usually work with a partner for project management. A dedicated developer adds capacity for modules, upgrades and integrations, next to your partner or your own team.
Agencies publish hourly rates, such as $75 an hour for extra development hours at ECOSIRE. GrowAxis works per developer per month: a mid-level developer costs about $2,720 a month, all in, at its 2026 rates.
