Hi @nanda_c,

Please check and read the whole post.

Proposing/Selling ERPNext to client

ERPNext is 100% open source. You can do nearly anything you want. Including rebranding and white-labeling. The only thing you cannot do is infringe or abuse the trademarks owned by Frappe. However. White-labelling is generally frowned on by the ERPNext community. If you go down that path, I expect few people will help you. Don’t be surprised if you get a cold reception. I personally think white-labeling is a bad move, both for businesses and customers. Check out the info already share…

Do I need self-hosting?

It depends. ERPNext is 100% Free and Open Source and depending on your scale and capability, self-hosting may be the right solution for you. Learn more about our enterprise services.

If you are a company, the cloud may make more sense for you. If you setup ERPNext on your own, then you start with a base cost of around $40/month for a VPS, then you’ll need to pay extra for email, security and backups services. After that you’ll spend a few hours installing and setting up everything, and also set aside a few hours of your time each month for maintenance + software updates, or maybe get someone to do that for you. Which gets expensive pretty quick. Frappe Cloud on the other hand, takes away all of that so you can focus on what you do best.

Thank You!
