With Compiere, customers have a choice in the software capabilities they deploy and how they deploy them. Customers can download, evaluate, and use the open source version of Compiere ERP at no charge and without restrictions.

The Enterprise version includes additional capabilities to meet the needs of companies with large businesses and with multi-country operations.
