Odoo Community vs Enterprise: which edition fits your business?
1CBMS

Odoo comes in two editions. Community is free and open source; Enterprise is a paid subscription that adds advanced apps, a polished mobile experience, official support and free version upgrades.

What Enterprise adds

  • Apps such as Studio, full Accounting, Payroll, Planning, Field Service, Helpdesk, Sign, Documents, Quality and PLM.
  • Official Odoo support and migration of your database to new versions, included in the subscription.
  • Three hosting options: Odoo Online (SaaS), Odoo.sh (cloud with custom code) or your own server.

How to decide

Community suits small teams with basic needs and in-house technical skills. Enterprise is the better choice when you need complete accounting, HR, manufacturing quality or no-code customisation, and when you want predictable upgrades. 1CBMS helps you compare total cost of ownership before you commit.
