Odoo Community vs Enterprise: which do you need?

Odoo Community is the free, open-source edition with the core business apps. Odoo Enterprise adds apps and features — such as full accounting, mobile apps, Studio and more — plus support and upgrades from Odoo, for a per-user licence. Most growing businesses choose Enterprise; some run Community well with careful setup.
