help Odoo Community FAQ

What does Odoo Community include for CRM work?

Odoo Community can run the core CRM app for leads, opportunities, activities, and pipeline stages. It is the open-source edition of Odoo, separate from the paid Enterprise edition.

What license does Odoo Community use?

Modern Odoo Community is distributed under the LGPLv3 license. That matters for companies that want to self-host and modify the code without buying Odoo Enterprise subscriptions.

Can Odoo Community connect CRM with inventory or manufacturing?

Yes, Odoo's main appeal is that CRM can sit beside apps such as Sales, Inventory, Purchase, and Manufacturing in the same system. The practical benefit is that a lead can eventually become a quote, order, or operational workflow without changing platforms.

What do businesses lose by staying on Odoo Community instead of Enterprise?

Enterprise adds proprietary features, official hosting options, mobile conveniences, and modules that are not fully available in Community. For example, Odoo Studio is an Enterprise feature rather than a Community app.
