Its primary selling point is that it is entirely free to use, with no need to buy a license.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While other software offers limited-time free trial versions, Odoo lets users use the community version for free as long as they want&#8211;though using an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/odoo-demo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo demo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also be helpful to see how a fully put-together system works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you probably guessed, since it&#8217;s free, the community version lacks several features and some functionality compared with enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Odoo Community can be helpful for smaller organizations that cannot buy ERP software now but may in the future. Odoo Community will scale with your company so you can add new features and functionality, so you only need to migrate your data once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s a breakdown of Odoo Community operates in terms of interface, modules, website, support, and hosting options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interface\"><\/span><b>Interface<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/cit-blog\/odoo-enterprise-vs-community\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Community Edition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is only available on desktop, limiting where and when you can access and use its features.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modules\"><\/span><b>Modules<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Community lacks access to several modules because updates focus on the Enterprise version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several modules are only available for the Odoo Enterprise version, including Odoo Studio, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/internet-of-things\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IoT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and Document Management. The community version also lacks several features for eCommerce and accounting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Website\"><\/span><b>Website<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While lacking in other areas, the community edition of Odoo shines when it comes to website features. You can access all the website features in Odoo Community as you can with Odoo Enterprise. These include a website builder, live chat, eCommerce tools, a blog, forums, and e-learning tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support\"><\/span><b>Support<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo does not offer support for its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/cit-blog\/odoo-enterprise-vs-community\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Community Edition<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> subscribers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hosting\"><\/span><b>Hosting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Community users are responsible for hosting the software themselves. You can decide whether to use on-premise servers or hosted servers. The Odoo Community version works with cloud hosting, including Google Cloud, AWS, Digital Ocean, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Odoo_Enterprise_Edition\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Enterprise Edition<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need a robust suite of features, you should look into <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/cit-blog\/odoo-enterprise-vs-community\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Enterprise Edition <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rather than Odoo Community. You will need to pay for licensing, but the increased functionality and additional features will offset the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are some flat fees, you will never have to pay for applications you don&#8217;t use. Odoo is modular, meaning you can pick and choose the apps you need. This feature keeps your overall costs down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to learn more about Odoo Enterprise&#8217;s pricing, check out our blog post.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interface-2\"><\/span><b>Interface<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike Odoo Community, which is only available on desktop, Odoo Enterprise Edition is accessible everywhere. You can use it on your desktop and mobile devices that operate both Android and iOS platforms. This can significantly increase the application&#8217;s usefulness by making it easier for your entire team to access.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Modules-2\"><\/span><b>Modules<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the primary benefits of using the enterprise version over community is that you&#8217;ll have access to any and all of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/odoo-apps\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">modules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and features available. This means you don&#8217;t have to integrate third-party applications and deal with incompatibility issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;ll also be able to completely customize your Odoo experience using Studio, which includes screen customization, report design, app creation, and a menu editor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support-2\"><\/span><b>Support<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo offers Enterprise support\u2014to a point.

So, which one is right for you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re exploring Odoo, then Odoo Community is a good place to start. Because it&#8217;s free, you can experiment to see if it could benefit your business without committing. You might also want to consider Odoo Community if you only need minimal features and have an in-house IT team to manage your support needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odoo Enterprise has many extra features that can more than make up for the licensing cost. Plus, the additional support you can get from Odoo Enterprise could be appealing if you don&#8217;t have an in-house IT team ready to tackle any issues that arise to minimize downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_Odoo_Implementation_Lets_Chat\"><\/span><b>Need <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/odoo-implementation\"><b>Odoo Implementation<\/b><\/a><b>?

One major perk is that it is entirely free to use, with no need to buy a license. As you probably guessed, though, this means it lacks several features and some functionality compared with Enterprise.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure whether Odoo is the right ERP software for you, Odoo Community is an excellent place to start. While other software offers limited-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/odoo-demo\" class=\"rank-math-link\">free trial versions<\/a>, Odoo lets users use Odoo Community for free as long as they want. This can help you decide without feeling the pressure of a free trial ending.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Community can also be helpful for smaller organizations that are unable to buy ERP software now but may be able to in the future as their company grows. Odoo Community will scale with your company so that you can add new features and functionality without needing to completely switch software in the future.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Here\u2019s a breakdown of how different features within Odoo operate when you have Odoo Community in terms of interface, modules, website, support, and hosting options.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Interface<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Community is only available on desktop, limiting where and when you can access and use its features.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Modules<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Community lacks access to several modules. Updates tend to focus on the Enterprise version, which is built on top of the layer of open-source Community Odoo. Several modules are only available for Enterprise, including Studio, IoT, and Document Management. Odoo Community also lacks several features for eCommerce and accounting.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Website<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Community shines when it comes to website features. You can access all the website features in Odoo Community as you can with Odoo Enterprise. These include a website builder, live chat, eCommerce tools, a blog, forums, and e-learning tools.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Support<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo does not offer support for its Odoo Community subscribers.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Hosting<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Community users are responsible for hosting the software themselves. You can decide to use on-premise servers or hosted servers. Odoo Community works with cloud hosting, including Google Cloud, AWS, Digital Ocean, and more.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>Odoo Enterprise<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>If you need a robust suite of features to run your organization, you likely want to look into Odoo Enterprise instead of Odoo Community. You will need to pay for licensing, but the costs will likely be offset by the increased functionality and features that your organization will enjoy with Odoo Enterprise.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Even though there are licensing fees, you never have to pay for applications that you don\u2019t use. This feature keeps your overall costs down and ensures that you only work with the applications your business needs.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Interface<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Unlike Odoo Community, which is only available on desktop, Odoo Enterprise is accessible everywhere. You can use it on your desktop as well as mobile devices that operate using both Android and iOS platforms. This can significantly increase the efficacy of the application by making it easier for your entire team to access and use.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Modules<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>One of the primary benefits of using Odoo Enterprise over Odoo Community is that you\u2019ll have access to all the modules and features available. In addition to the website features, you\u2019ll have a wide range of modules for accounting, inventory, human resources, sales, marketing, and productivity.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>You\u2019ll also be able to completely customize your Odoo experience using Studio, which includes screen customization, report design, apps creator, and menus editor.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Support<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo offers Enterprise support\u2014to a point. They will provide support for the core platform and give free upward data migration every time there is a new version release. Make sure you work with a reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/odoo-erp\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Odoo Partner<\/a>, as they will be able to help you when you need support for any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.confianzit.com\/openerp-customization\" class=\"rank-math-link\">customization<\/a> issues.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Hosting<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Enterprise offers the same hosting options as Odoo Community with the added options of Odoo.sh, a cloud-hosting option, and Odoo SaaS. Note that Odoo SaaS does not offer customizations because it is a multi-tenant model in which everyone who has access to it is using the same software.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>Should You Get Odoo Enterprise or Odoo Community?<\/h2>\r\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Both Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise offer several features that can improve your organization\u2019s efficiency and effectiveness. So, which one is right for you?<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>If you\u2019re just starting to figure out Odoo, then Odoo Community could be a good place to start. Because it\u2019s free, you can experiment with it to see if it could benefit your business without shelling out a lot of money. You might also want to consider Odoo Community if you only need minimal features and have an in-house IT team to manage your support needs.<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p>Odoo Enterprise has lots of extra features that can more than make up for the cost of licensing. Plus, the additional support that you can get from Odoo Enterprise could be appealing if you don\u2019t have an in-house IT team ready to tackle any issues that arise to minimize downtime.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:heading -->\r\n<h2>Need <a href=\"https:\/\/stackbench.com\/erp-implementation\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Odoo Implementation<\/a>?
