Paid-feature limitsNone established

Tier A: Canonical GPL ERPNext remains Tier A with no feature paywalls, but is not a standalone recommendation for this category. HR modules moved to Frappe HR from version 14; current expense-claim documentation redirects to HR. ERPNext supplies the required connected foundation for Frappe HR expense settlement, not a second independent expense product. accounting-erp scope: Vendor explicitly confirms no product feature paywalls; self-hosted GPL product, commercial hosting/support. License source. Repository: frappe/erpnext. Self-host: server; hosted offer from the project: yes.
