Odoo is available in 2 versions: Odoo Enterprise (licensed) and Odoo Community (Open-source). ERP is a multilayer system. Technically, Odoo Enterprise is Odoo Community + Additional Functional Modules. But these modules play a big game. Does it mean that the main difference between the two versions is just a few paid apps? Well not really, there are multiple layers to it. All layer differences are covered below.

From Odoo v9, the Open source ERP made a change in their business model. Rather than just developing an open source software and selling its support services, they brought into living an open core business model. Notwithstanding open source product-Odoo Community, they grew additional proprietary applications as Odoo Enterprise.
From that point on, Odoo was made accessible in 2 Editions: Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise. Odoo Community (Open-source variant) is free, and Odoo Enterprise(Licensed adaptation) are chargeable. Odoo Enterprise is considered as the flagship of Odoo, as it encompasses the most highlights and the most mind-boggling features.
There are free (~90%) and paid (~10%) applications (modules) in the Odoo App store. Odoo Enterprise already includes additional unique modules that will move the ERP experience to the next level.
Based on our analysis of implemented projects, we can conclude that Odoo Enterprise covers Sales, Project and Warehouse Management processes pretty well. Also, specific changes in Finance module makes accounting management intuitive, if we can say it that way.
All these makes Enterprise version a good choice for companies where sales and services are the key processes.
