The honest answer. Odoo comes in two versions on the same foundation. **Enterprise is not a different product** - it is Community with an added layer of applications and services. Everything that works in Community also works in Enterprise. [Free Consultation](#contact-form) [See the pricing](/en/odoo-erp/pricing.md) ### Community Free Free to download - you don't pay for the software. You or your partner take on the server and support. - No software fee, no per-user fee - Open source and full control - Core cycle: sales, warehouse, invoicing, online store - Support and updates - your (or your partner's) responsibility ### Enterprise Subscription Per-user subscription. Everything from Community plus a layer of applications, support and services. - Over 40 additional applications - Support and free upgrades from Odoo for the standard modules - Mobile app ## The Essentials | What We Compare | Community | Enterprise | | --- | --- | --- | | Software price | Free | Subscription / user / month | | Right to use | Open source, free | Paid, requires a subscription | | Hosting | On your server or with Polimex | Odoo cloud, your server or with Polimex (Custom plan) | | Support from Odoo | No | Yes | | Free upgrades to new versions | No | Yes | | Mobile app | No | Yes | | Customization without a programmer (Studio) | No | Yes | | Full accounting with ready-made reports | Invoicing only | Yes | | Payroll | No | Yes | | Bulgarian statutory reports out of the box | No | Yes | **In one sentence:** Community is a powerful free foundation for companies that have someone to maintain it technically. Enterprise adds the applications that are critical for most businesses - full accounting, payroll, customer service - together with support, upgrades and hosting. ## Subscription Plans Enterprise Has Three Subscription Plans #### One App Free Just one application, unlimited users, in the Odoo cloud. - 1 application - Unlimited users - No customization #### Standard All applications, but only in the Odoo cloud. - All applications - Odoo cloud - No Studio or external connections - No multi-company Full Capabilities #### Custom Full capabilities - customization, multiple companies, integrations, choice of hosting. - Everything from Standard - Studio - no programmer needed - Multi-company + external connections - Choice of hosting [Official Odoo pricing](https://www.odoo.com/pricing) [Edition comparison](https://www.odoo.com/page/editions) The current terms are on the Odoo website and vary by country - we verify them for Bulgaria before a quote. ## What is available only in the paid version (Enterprise)? Verified directly in the Odoo 19 system, not from marketing materials - over 40 applications that are missing from the free version (Community). ##### Finance and Documents Full accounting with ready-made reports Documents Electronic signature Knowledge base ESG reporting Equity ##### Sales, Service, Marketing Subscriptions Rental Customer service (Helpdesk) Field Service Online appointment booking Marketing automation Social media WhatsApp Telephony (VoIP) Artificial intelligence ##### Manufacturing and Warehouse Quality control Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Barcode scanner operations Advanced Shop Floor ##### Human Resources Payroll Employee appraisals Employee referrals Shift planning Advanced time tracking ##### Customization and Hardware Studio - screens and fields without a programmer Device connectivity (IoT) Reception (Frontdesk) Meeting rooms ## The Hidden Cost of the Free Version The most important economic difference - and often overlooked when looking only at the license price. Odoo releases a new version every year; in the paid version, upgrades to a new version are included in the subscription, while in the free version every extension is a new project plus ongoing maintenance. | Commitment over the years | Community (you bear it) | Enterprise (Odoo bears it) | | --- | --- | --- | | New features every year | The partner develops them when needed | Included with the subscription | | Odoo upgrade to a new version | The partner does it manually | Included for the standard modules | | Upgrade of your customizations | The partner rewrites them for every version | Less need | | Bug and security fixes | Only if you update yourself | Included for supported versions | | Who is responsible for the product | Only the partner | Odoo stands behind the product | Everything that comes ready-made in the paid version must first be developed in the free version and then maintained forever - and the burden falls on you and your partner, not on Odoo. ## Which Should You Choose and When? | Company Profile | Recommendation | | --- | --- | | A small company with a technical team and a limited budget; core sales-warehouse-invoicing cycle | Community (on your server or with Polimex) | | A company that wants Odoo as an accounting system with Bulgarian reports | Enterprise | | A company with payroll, field service, subscriptions or customer service | Enterprise | | A company without an in-house IT team that wants a ready-made solution and support | Enterprise | | Deep customization and full control of data on its own server | Enterprise (Custom plan) or Community - depending on the budget and the need for official support | | Just one application (e.g. only CRM) with a small team | The free plan for one application, or Community | ## The Role of Polimex As an implementation partner, we work with both versions. With **Community**, we take care of hosting (on your or our infrastructure), implementation, customization, support and upgrades - we replace Odoo's official support. With **Enterprise**, we assist with plan selection and licensing and take care of hosting (with the Custom plan - on your or our infrastructure), implementation and customization. The choice depends on whether you need the specific applications of the paid version, on your technical resources and on your budget. At the free consultation, we make a specific recommendation for your case. ## Community or Enterprise? Let's choose together.
