Community or Enterprise
Odoo Community vs Enterprise for hosting
Both editions share the same core and run the same way on CloudPilot. The difference is in the apps and the license.
| Topic | Odoo Community | Odoo Enterprise |
|---|---|---|
| License | Free and open source (LGPL) | Per-user subscription from Odoo S.A. |
| Core apps (Sales, CRM, Inventory, Purchase, Website, Invoicing) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Enterprise-only apps such as Studio, full Accounting and Helpdesk | Not included; OCA modules cover some | ✓ |
| Hosting on CloudPilot | Starter, Pro or Business | Pro or Business, with your subscription code |
| Staging, backups, Git deploys, monitoring | ✓ | ✓ |

Sizing
Odoo Community server sizing
Odoo needs about one worker per six concurrent users, plus memory for PostgreSQL. CloudPilot sets the workers and memory limits from the server it runs on.
| Server | Odoo workers | Concurrent users |
|---|---|---|
| 2 vCPU / 4 GB | 5 | About 30 |
| 4 vCPU / 8 GB | 9 | About 54 |
| 8 vCPU / 16 GB | 17 | About 102 |
Heavy reports, imports or many integrations need more. The Odoo server sizing guide explains the numbers and the PostgreSQL settings behind them.
Cost
Odoo Community hosting cost: a worked example
A small team on Starter
One Odoo Community instance with a staging copy, daily backups and SSL on CloudPilot's servers: $19 a month billed annually, server included. There is no Odoo license to pay and no per-user fee.
A growing company on Pro
Production, staging and a test instance on one 4 vCPU / 8 GB server in your own cloud account: $29 a month for CloudPilot plus your provider's price for the server. Adding users or instances does not change the CloudPilot price.
Every cost line, from servers to your own time, is in how much Odoo hosting costs. Compare plans on the pricing page.
Grow into Enterprise
From Odoo Community to Enterprise on the same server
1
Test it on staging
Copy production to a staging instance and switch the copy to Enterprise first, so your team can check the new apps with real data.
2
Add your subscription code
Buy Odoo Enterprise from Odoo S.A. or a partner, then add the subscription code to the instance. CloudPilot installs the Enterprise addons.
3
Keep everything else
Same server, same domain, same backups and Git workflow. Only the apps change. Switching to Enterprise.
