The Odoo alternative
For holiday camp and after-school club providers who want software that works out of the box, with no set-up project and no integrator.
Great organizers deserve better software.
We build Stageo for you: software that sets a higher standard, so running your activities takes less of your time every week.
Less admin, more time for what really matters: your activities and the people who take part.
The Stageo team
The short version
Two good tools, built for different jobs.
If the second list sounds more like you, Odoo is the better fit. And that’s absolutely fine.
stageo
Choose Stageo if…
- You want software that’s ready for holiday camps and after-school clubs, with no set-up project or integrator.
- You take bookings per child, by age and by week, and want families to manage them themselves.
- You need registers, childcare, and tax and health insurer certificates.
- Your coaches want their groups and registers in an app made just for them.
Choose Odoo if…
- You want one system for the whole business: accounting, CRM, stock and e-commerce.
- Having full accounting in the same tool is your top priority.
- You have an Odoo partner or an in-house team to set it up and keep developing it.

Frequently asked questions
Can we use Stageo alongside Odoo?
Yes. Plenty of organisers keep their accounts in another system and use Stageo for registrations, payments and attendance, exporting what their accountant needs.
Isn’t Odoo cheaper?
Odoo is free to start with a single app, then charges per user and per app. For holiday camps, you also need to budget for set-up, which is often done by a partner.
Is this comparison up to date?
We checked it against Odoo’s public website in October 2026. Software changes, so if anything here is out of date, let us know and we’ll put it right.
