License and costs

The main distinction between Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise is licensing and cost. Odoo Community is an open-source software, which means it is available for free use and customization. Companies can download, install and customize it according to their needs, without direct licensing fees.

On the other hand, Odoo Enterprise is a commercial extension of the community variant (also fully open source) with an annual license subscription. Costs vary depending on the number of users and the modules you want to use. Although it can be a significant investment, the Enterprise edition offers access to exclusive features, customer service and regular updates.

Functionality

Another important difference lies in the functionalities available. Odoo Community offers a wide range of basic modules, such as CRM, sales, inventory management, accounting and HR modules. It provides a good basis for small and medium-sized companies to optimize their business processes.

However, Odoo Enterprise goes a step further with advanced features and additional modules not available in the Community edition. These include advanced reporting, production planning, service management, marketing automation and more. If your company has specific needs that are not met by the basic modules, the Enterprise edition may be the right choice.

Support and updates

Support and updates are key when using an ERP system. At Odoo Community, users can count on an active community of developers and users who help each other through forums and online discussions. While this is a valuable resource, there is no official support from Odoo itself for the Community version (Of course, we as WeSolved also provide official support on Odoo community installations implemented by us).

Odoo Enterprise users, on the other hand, are entitled to professional support through various channels, such as email, phone or ticketing system. In addition, the Enterprise edition receives regular updates and enhancements, keeping the software up-to-date with the latest features and security patches.

Which Odoo version is right for your business?

The choice between Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise depends on your company’s unique needs and budgetary considerations. If your business is small to medium-sized and you don’t want to pay licensing fees, Odoo Community is an excellent choice. For all other businesses with specific requirements (including customization), need for advanced features and professional support, Odoo Enterprise is probably the right choice. Whatever your decision, both versions of Odoo can help your company work more efficiently and drive growth. We will help you find the best fit for your business!
